To Seduce a Rogue (Southern Heat #1) by Tracy Sumner

The interaction between these two characters was interesting, but the most interesting aspect between these two is the friendship they developed. She knew him and he knew her so that even when Adam pushed Charlotte away, she understood and did not get angry. He never got angry with her when she wouldn't let him buy her clothes when they went to Richmond. This is the part of their relationship that I truly enjoyed. What is really different about this story is that the woman is the aggressor and the man is the one who keeps running away. What I didn't like, was the boring dictionary items at the beginning of each chapter and sometimes the story seemed stopped at points.

Dream Doctor Dreams, Book 2 By: J.J. DiBenedetto Narrated by: Heather Jane Hogan

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really enjoyed this book, but we always knew when Sara was in a dream. The monologue proceeding it warned us, "Sara is . . . ." The reader really gave it a dire tone, like something bad was going to happen. The plot is well written and with a very exciting ending. The characters are wonderful and engaging, but some emotional aspects I think took away from the story and away from the plot.

Mini Miracles (The Church Dogs of Charleston #1) by Melissa Storm

I loved this story of heartbreak and grief. Gavin reminds us that we can laugh again. Pastor Adams reminds us that love comes in many forms, Mama Mary shows us that even the smallest of God's creature can bravely go on through tragedy. Love never ends and can be found again if we let it grow.

Spun of Gold (Once Upon a Regency #3) by Jen Geigle Johnson

When I read this story, I thought what is wrong with this woman. When it dawned on me what was going on with the duke and duchess, I understood her reserve. I was kind of disappointed in the end of this book, but it is my own personal feelings of how I think a fairy tale should end. The characters are not as well developed as I would like, but the author had to hold everything back until the end.

Love Springs Anew: A Regency Romance Novella by Isabella Thorne

I liked this novella, because it wasn't about debutantes. Phillipa is a spinster, because she had a hysterical fit over her betrothed kissing another woman. It's about a widowed Duke finding love with a woman considered on the shelf. The conversations between these two are engaging and witty. I believe a little more could have been done to make these two more compelling towards each other.

A Marquis For Marianne by Catherine Bilson

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This should have been named "A Second Chance for Marianne". This story is about friendships and love that never dies. Can one be truly happy after enduring a marriage of abuse to a man you never wanted? Can a man forgive a woman who promise to wait and didn't? These are the questions that this story answers. It is deeply emotional and touched me deeply the abuse that this woman suffered.

The Marquess' Muse (Scandalous Nobility Book 3) by Madeline St.James

I really enjoyed this story about Charity Balfour. Because of her fall, Charity learned humility and not to think herself above any one else. The dangers that come to Charity's door bring Elias Turner back into her life. This story is about redemption and the strength of love.
