A Mystery for the Earl: Regency Romance (Ladies, Love, and Mysteries #4) by Joyce Alec

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story is about a woman who saves the life of the Rake of London. The shadow take on finding out who is trying to kill the Earl, while Catherine nurses him back to health. In the end, the Earl finds he doesn't want to change his ways. And Catherine & the Earl find out who's responsible. I think the other Shadows were just lazy, and hoping that Catherine & the Earl would do all the work. The intrigue is good, but I think the plot could have been better.

The Shadows: Regency Romance (Ladies, Love, and Mysteries #2) by Joyce Alec

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here is a man trying to keep out of the marriage mart. Mr. Stephen Paxton gets involved with a woman when Lord Atherton is brutally attack at his own party. The repartee between these two is delightful. Julia keeps Stephen on his toes, and he realizes now that the mystery is solved. He doesn't want to go on without her. The plot is well thought out and works very well within the story lines. I get tired of Mr. Paxton trying to shake off what he is feeling, but he does finally recognize his feelings. Which makes him the hero in the end.

A Lady's Mystery: Regency Romance (Ladies, Love, and Mysteries #1) by Joyce Alec

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story has some funny scenes, but Marion is concerned that someone is trying to harm Alexander. Although, she shuns the idea of being betrothed to him, her heart doesn't want him to come to harm. There is no great mystery for the reader, because we know who the villain is, but these two become emotionally involved looking into the details of this issue. It is well written and the plot well thought out. The characters are well written, but something falls short in the climax of the story.

Ginger Danger (Mint Chocolate Chip Mysteries Book 2) by Emmie Lyn

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story is hilarious and in the style of other Blueberry Cove stories. Sunny will keep you on your toes and we follow her on opening day of her Smoothie Shop. The strangest things happen and to her friends no less. Her neighbor Tillie is a hoot, but an annoying elderly person. She classically noses herself into almost every situation. This is an enjoyable little mystery, but has no depth in the sense of the mystery, but the characters will keep you laughing.

Her Cowboy Billionaire Boss (Christmas in Coral Canyon #2) by Liz Isaacson

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
This story started with a lot of whining. It picked up as the book went along, but it's weird how Eli all of a sudden started noticing Meg. I felt Eli took advantage of his nanny after she told him her feelings. Men play these games all the time or they are just blind and stupid, take your choice. Eli's a good man, but playing with a woman's affection and not saying anything just shows how blind and stupid men are, maybe it's the testosterone. No I did not like this story. It is well written, but I think Meg is a weak woman who doesn't stand up for herself. Eli is a man who used that weakness to gain himself a new wife.

Love's Prophet (First Street Church Romances #3) by Melissa Storm

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story is very inspirational at this time in my life. Although, I feel her mother did her daughter a disservice by putting such a large responsibility on her. I understand because she knew her husband would not let her go, and start to live again. She made sure her husband would love again through their daughter. Liam is settling into his grief and not living. This I can understand. Sometimes, we need a light or someone to push us into living again.
