Historical Romance

Meg Church has embraced her spinster lifestyle. She’s opted to enjoy the freedom of not having a husband dictating what she can or can’t do, and extremely happy being outrageous and bold with what she wants and she’s set her eyes on taking Lucien le Duc as a lover…if only in her fantasies…

Lucien le Duc is determined to leave England and return to his native France. A dream since he had to flee with his family during the revolutionary war, Lucien will let nothing change his mind…well almost nothing…there just happens to be a beautiful outspoken woman that may just make him think twice on his feelings of all things English…

Oh I’m so in love with Erica Ridley’s 12 Dukes of Christmas series! These holiday romances are just the right mixture of sweet and heat! Highly recommend!

Lord of Chance (Rogues to Riches #1) by Erica Ridley

You can disguise anything but love.

Charlotte Devon leaves behind London and the misguided thoughts of the citizens that she’s just like mom.  She loves her mom terribly, but her mother’s profession puts Charlotte on a rough place.  Scotland knows nothing about her and Charlotte can reform her reputation.

Anthony Fairfax lives on either end of the wallet.  He’s a gamer and sometimes he’s successful and others not so much.  He has an unimaginable debt that’s being called in.             

Anthony and Charlotte, he mistakes her for a lady and she assumes he’s a Lord, play the cards.  Amazing what happens when the whole pot, and all of Anthony’s hope, are turned over to a beautiful female stranger. 

Intriguing and maddingly urgent for Anthony and Charlotte to work together to outrun the collectors right back to Charlotte’s least favorite place.  London.  She swore she’d not go back, yet an unfavorable legal “knot” snuck up on the them. 

For better or worse, they were in this mess together.  Fortunately, they began to like one another, even a bit more than anticipated. 

A fun read on the run and into love!

 

Happy Reading,

The Duke's Accidental Wife

Yes, it is another regency romance. I tell you, I'm hooked! Why? I seriously have no idea. Maybe it's diving into a completely different world, different time, different rules . . . I don't know, because I certainly wouldn't want to have to deal with all of the inconveniences of that time period. But I do know what I like, and I like The Duke's Accidental Wife. It's a cute love story that involves compromise on both sides. If you are look for a bit of mindless, fluffy reading, that entertains and keeps the pages flipping, then it's worth a perusal.



Miss Katherine Ross is a wealthy, eccentric socialite who knows precisely what she wants: No husband. No children. No candlelit tête-à-tête with the insufferably emotionless Duke of Ravenwood. She's convinced his heart is ice -- until she touches that chiseled chest for herself. One lapse in judgment is all it takes to turn both their lives topsy-turvy...


The Duke of Ravenwood isn't cold and haughty, but a secret romantic who has always dreamt of marrying for love. Instead, he gets Miss Katherine Ross -- a headstrong hoyden intent on unraveling his carefully ordered world. He doesn't know whether to kiss her or throttle her. Can they survive each other's company long enough to turn a compromise into love?





Until next month, have a wonderful Easter/Spring Break!
