For a short story, this one was pretty good. The last person he expects to see when he wrecks his truck is his ex-girlfriend Iris. Iris allows him to stay with her during the snowstorm. They catch up on each others life and eventually Joe works things out. This story has a nice twist and is a good read for Christmas.
This story is told very well and Lord Farleigh and Miss Frost spark upon their first meeting. It's a gentle love story where that initial spark turns into friendship and eventually into love. It's where gentry meets commoner and things unfold with a little help from family. It's a beautiful story and I listened to the audiobook version. The narrator brings the story to life.
This story is whimsical at best, the characters are very endearing, especially all the Wallflowers at the Academy. Not one of them are Wallflowers, just daughters cast aside because for some reason they are not marriageable. It is Miss Pike's job at the academy to find gentleman to marry these women. Percy is a Duke, but was never meant to be a Duke being 4th in line. He is constantly out of step with the aristocracy and is constantly reminded of this. Gwen is being hidden away at the academy for killing a man who tried to have his way with her. Together they defy society and fall in love. My suggestion is to engage with them on their journey. I promise you will be engaged and surprised.
Christmas comes with dreams and Clara has one of owning a store and someday a family. Along comes Daniel Miller, son to her landlord, who brings hope to his family and Clara brings a light and love into his heart that has been missing for years. This Christmas Clara and the Millers will struggle to survive the holidays, but in their hardship and companionship Daniel and Clara find the greatest gift of all.
This story has all the elements for an exciting adventure and meets every expectation. Privateer Ethan saves Marisol from slavery and buys her indentured contract. After setting Marisol free from her contract, Marisol stows away on Ethan ship to the West Indies to the only family she has left. It's an adventure on the high seas and an unexpected love. It's a wonderful love story and a great high sea adventure worth reading.
This story is about some egotistical billionaire playing matchmaker and survivor which makes everyone miserable. I absolutely dislike the female main character, Cynthia. A woman so self absorbed and thinking marriage with a rich man is the only way to live. Cabe is a man full of anger and regret. How this author got someone to fall in love with Cynthia is beyond belief, and what's worse is based on her change of behavior while she is on a desert island. Back to the rich scene, she'll quickly change back. Otherwise, it was fun watching Henry torture everyone with stupid games.
This is the first book I've read in this series. This story explores his brother's history and the disappearance of a good friend from Tyrell's life. Watching Zachary process things, is like watching my daughter process her life. It's always going to be messy, because the process that someone who has been traumatized has messy thoughts, and sometimes shuts down to try and straighten themselves out. The fact that is functioning in a healthy relationship is amazing, but a blessing for Zachary. This kind of relationship brings stability into Zachary's life. I feel that Zachary has the luck of Batman (TV Series). You'll see what I mean when you read this story.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worn Sandals is a true example of how to live Grace. There are at least four moments when I had to stop reading to cry, tears ...
