A Governess in the Duke's Darkness: A Historical Regency Romance Book by Abigail Agar

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marion is a bright light that needed a little love and she found that in the Duke's children. I was really getting into this story and was relieved when the two servants conspiring against the Duke were discovered. I was let down by the author continuing the story by Marion running away. I felt it took away from the story instead of adding to it.

Her Long Lost Cowboy: A Western Historical Romance by Evelyn Boyett

Rating:  ⭐
I think the idea of the plot was good, but the writing fell apart at the climax. The final showdown was inane and would never happen. The main characters were well written, but the antagonist and his cronies were stereotypical. There are portions of the story that are absolutely boring, which forced me to scan read. I won't do that if the book can hold my attention which this one failed to do.

The Ruthless Billionaire: A Clean Billionaire Romance (California Elite) by Evangeline Kelly

This story is strangely funny. This son of billionaire has to marry someone on his father's list, but he hates everyone on the list. He meets a woman who just lost her job, and offers her a job as a maid in Kauai. The problem is she's not on the list and he falls in love with her. The problem is Aria is a Christian and won't marry someone who doesn't know Jesus. This is a powerful story in that this ruthless man finds love and in turn finds himself and a God who loves him.

Lawfully Protected (The Lawkeepers) by Evangeline Kelly

How these two met is hilarious, and one Officer Bronson Murphy gets a lesson in Christian dating from Allison. This is well-written and a lesson on how do deal with a stalker. I loved this story, and the wonderful characters, especially Allison's neighbor, Mrs. Spellman.
