The Four Suitors by Sophie Jupillat Posey

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As I read this story, I learned to hate our heroine. There is nothing I liked about her. She is overbearing, spoiled, obnoxious and rude. Unfortunately. her parents the king and queen gather four suitors to learn from and for her to choose one of them. This is where the story actually starts to get good, because there is intrigue and political corruption that Sir Braxton and Laeticia uncover. I don;'t know if Laeticia actually falls in love with any of her suitors, but who she chooses is actually taken out of her hands. It is well written and one wonders if she actually deserves to regain her kingdom.
 

Resolute (Eternal Brethren Military Romantic Suspense Book 9) by Shirleen Davies

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This series takes a different way for the Seals to be protecting the Home front; at home. This group has a bad boy image and it serves them well in getting rid of the gangs and drug dealers on our soil. Lucas Gunner is ready to settle down, but the one woman he wants has set his kind (MC Outlaw) off the table. This story is full of intrigue and is action-packed. There is an underlying story to Katrina Snowden as her history comes to light. I love the interaction between these two and how Lucas breaks through her defenses.

Tea Time with the Earl: Historical Regency Romance by Lisa Campell

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This is a little outrageous and a woman could never pass themselves off as a man unless she took the role seriously. Which she didn’t; because to truly do it she would have had to cut her hair into a style that men wore. Worn men’s clothes but she only borrowed boys clothes. And like our earl, after a couple days staring at her face, he would like recognize the feminine features. The plot was well thought out, but not the storyline. It’s romantic that the Earl wants her even after the deception and they go on to try and figure out what to do about the men who who were not paid for their dirty deeds. It’s okay as a whimsical story, but deception doesn’t fly
