…but never his wife!

Forced into servitude, Wren is quietly miserable…until Jarl Knud arrives at her settlement, seeking an alliance through marriage. Despite their initial sizzling attraction Wren despises everything the Jarl represents—and he needs a high-status bride to save his people, not a servant like her. As Wren uncovers the man beneath the fierce Viking chief she’s tempted to claim one forbidden night of passion…but will it ever be enough?

MY REVIEW

It was so very easy to be pulled into the pages of Claimed by the Viking Chief. The book had such a strong start and I was definitely eager to see where the story would take me. I couldn’t help but love Knud and Wren. Both were strong, resilient and likeable characters. Let’s just say I was rooting for them. The romance played out wonderfully especially as this pair had such a strong chemistry. Although it wasn’t all plain sailing and they definitely didn’t have it easy.

The plot itself moved pretty quickly and I found myself halfway through the book in no time at all. The pacing kept up all the way through and I was eager to see how it would all turn out for them in the end. It’s safe to say that there is a sizzling chemistry between Knud and Wren but I also thought the author did a great job at building a solid connection between the pair. There were some heartwarming moments throughout and this combination created a gorgeous romance!

Claimed by the Viking Chief had it all. A strong story, a stunning romance and a hint of danger. I loved it!

Thanks for stopping by! Im delighted to be sharing my review for A Laird for the Highland Lady by Catherine Tinley as part of the blog tour today. With thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invite to join the tour and to the author for my copy. First things first let’s take a look at the description for the book…

MY REVIEW

A Laird for the Highland Lady made me smile throughout. I couldn’t help but love Eilidh and Max especially the way they came to meet. It definitely created some interesting interactions that developed wonderfully into chemistry filled moments between the pair.

It is worth mentioning that A Laird for the Highland Lady is part of a series but there’s no need to worry as it can be easily read as a standalone. I would recommend picking up the entire Lairds of the Isles series because it has a great cast of characters each with brilliant stories that are worth experiencing for yourself.

The plot itself moved at a good pace and it was lovely to see the characters grow and to see their personalities shine through especially in the case of Max. I thought the author did a great job of peeling back the layers to bring his character to life. Eilidh was a strong character and I really liked how she said what was on her mind. There was also a caring side to her that made them the perfect pair. Let’s just say I was rooting for them!

A Laird for the Highland Lady was a delight to read from start to finish with engaging characters and a wonderful romantic thread. The setting of the book was another bonus for me. Reading this book was a real escape and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey the characters took. All in all it really was a charming conclusion to a heartwarming set of books!

Her Unforgettable Knight by Melissa Oliver @melissaoauthor @rararesources #BlogTour #Review

Thanks for stopping by! I’m thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour for Her Unforgettable Knight by Melissa Oliver and sharing my review today. With thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invite to join the tour and to the author for my copy. First things first let’s take a look at the description for the book…

She never forgot him…

Can she ever forgive him?

Part of Protectors of the Crown. Marguerite never expected to see Savaric again—let alone to have to help him when she finds him outnumbered in a fight. He’s the brooding knight she fell for two years ago, until he left her unexpectedly. Now Marguerite is a hardened spy, and wary of trusting him again. But how long can she resist their connection when they must work together to protect the Crown…?

MY REVIEW

I have to start my review by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the characters throughout the Protectors of the Crown series. Each book works well on its own but I highly recommend reading all the books in the series. Melissa Oliver has created some intriguing and engaging characters that easily captured my attention and hopefully yours too.

This book follows Marguerite and Savaric as they meet unexpectedly after two years apart and it’s safe to say that these two characters have history. The plot itself moved at a lovely pace throughout. I was invested completely in not only the characters lives but also wondering if they would finally manage to catch up with all the traitors to the crown.

Marguerite and Savaric had a wonderful chemistry and I was rooting for them right from the beginning. Even though at first their interactions are a little spiky it definitely made for entertaining reading. I thought the author did a lovely job of bringing these characters to life showing insecurities but also their strengths too.

I do enjoy a second chance romance and I thought this trope worked really well for the characters in this book. Her Unforgettable Knight was such a gorgeous story filled with romance, friendships, intrigue and a hint of danger. It really is a stand out book in its own right but it also brings about a brilliant conclusion to a wonderful series. Then add in an epilogue that left me smiling away. Well, I loved it!

The Night She Met the Duke by Sarah Mallory @SarahMRomance #Review

Thanks for stopping by! I’m thrilled to be sharing my review for The Night She Met the Duke by Sarah Mallory today. With thanks to the author for my copy. First things first let’s take a look at the description for the book…

Who is her mysterious midnight visitor?

The Duke!

Hearing herself described as ‘a lady as dull as her name’ is the final straw in Prudence Clifford’s disastrous Season, so she decides to stay with her aunt in Bath. But Pru’s new life is anything but dull when one night she finds an uninvited, devastatingly handsome duke at her kitchen table! Pru knows she will never forget the emotional connection they shared. But it’s their unexpected reunion three months later which will prove truly unforgettable…

MY REVIEW

I have to start my review by saying that I loved the beginning of this story. It easily captured my attention and was a brilliant first meeting for the main characters. The plot itself moved at a lovely pace throughout.

Pru was instantly likeable and I loved how she coped with an unwanted intruder! She was compassionate and determined which made her the perfect person for Garrick. Even if he was just as determined to do things his way without any help. All of Pru and Garrick’s interactions made me smile. They had such a strong chemistry that just grows as they spend more time together. I thought there was also a strong cast of minor characters. I thought they all brought something to the story.

The romance was a definite hit with me and I thought it progressed naturally from friendship with sparks of chemistry to something much more. I thought this combined really well with the inclusion of a villain that adds a little danger to the story. Let’s just say I enjoyed every moment spent with the characters. The Night She Met the Duke was a delight to read and a wonderful regency romance!

The Viscount’s Daring Miss by Lotte R. James @lottejamesbooks @rararesources #BlogTour #Review

May the best Viscount or Miss…

…win!

When her best friend and employer is injured, groom Roberta ‘Bobby’ Kingsley feels compelled to help him. She agrees to step into the saddle and compete in an endurance horse race to help secure his ancestral home. Yet the minute Bobby comes face to face with her opponent—arrogant yet infuriatingly charismatic Lawrence, Viscount Hayes—it’s clear that it won’t just be the competition that has her heart racing!

https://bit.ly/3W1SOnY

MY REVIEW

The Viscount’s Daring Miss was such a fun and sizzling read! There were sparks flying between Bobby and a Lawrence right from the very beginning. I couldn’t help but root for them. Bobby for me was a stand out character, she was definitely unconventional for the time period. However she was like a breath of fresh air and pairing her with Lawrence was a perfect combination. I also thought the author did a wonderful job of bringing Lawrence’s character to life. Slowly but surely revealing more to his personality than what first appearances show.

I have to say that there is a brilliant combination of adventure throughout this book not only with the racing but a gorgeous romance too. Also the way these two characters danced around each other in such a prickly and entertaining way made for a truly engaging read! There were heartwarming moments along with more sizzling moments which I thought worked well. The heroine was a great match for the hero and I loved how she stood her ground.

The Viscount’s Daring Miss hooked me from the very beginning and I enjoyed every page!

Promises of the Runes by Christina Courtenay @PiaCCourtenay @rararesources #BlogTour #Review

Thanks for stopping by! I’m thrilled to be sharing my review for Promises of the Runes by Christina Courtenay as part of the blog tour today. With thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invite to join the tour and to the author for my copy. First things first let’s take a look at the description for the book…

He travelled through time to capture her heart.

The amulet was still in the palm of his hand. Was it some sort of conduit to the past? The image of the anguished woman in his vision was seared into his mind. Perhaps it could help him find her?

Ivar Thoresson is desperate for adventure. As an archaeologist specialising in Viking times, he wants nothing more than to travel back to the ninth century as his loved ones have done, to learn everything he can about the era which fascinates him. And whilst his adopted family have always made him feel loved, the chance to meet a true ancestor, the warrior Thorald, is a temptation he cannot resist.

But while Ivar is preparing to go, he uncovers an amulet which shows him a vision of an arresting woman with red-gold hair. Clearly in distress, she is pleading for help. Convinced of the power of the charm and its message, Ivar’s journey takes on a new purpose. He steps back in time determined to follow his destiny – and find the woman who has called to his heart.

MY REVIEW

I was well and truly whisked away to the past in Promises of the Runes. I really enjoyed all the historical input and I think Christina Courtenay did a wonderful job of bringing this era to life. I do have to mention that this book is part of a series and I haven’t had chance to read any of the previous books. However this wasn’t a problem at all and I do think this story works well as a standalone. Although I will say I’m very intrigued by the other books and will hopefully find the time to read them all at some point.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters and couldn’t help but root for them. I loved the gentle romance between Ivar and Ellisif, where their chemistry just grew with each interaction. They really were made for each other.

There was a little bit of everything to keep me invested and engaged. From danger, to friendships and of course a beautiful romance. Time travel has always interested me and time slip stories are always fun to read. I loved being transported to the past through Promises of the Runes!

Step into the roaring 1920s Parisian music scene

Leaving Manhattan…

For a secret Parisian affair…

New York darling Elizabeth Van Hoeven has everything…except freedom. But now Eliza’s traveling to study piano at the Paris Conservatoire and falling for jazz prodigy Jack Coleman in the process! A love like theirs is forbidden back home, and as they make beautiful music together under the Parisian lights, Eliza and Jack face a difficult choice: the life they’ve always known, or the possibility of a life they never could have imagined…

MY REVIEW

This book was a dream to read! I adored the characters, especially the connection they shared. There were these moments of uncertainty but there was also such a wonderful, hopeful feeling every single time Eliza and Jack were together. I couldn’t help but root for this pair!

The plot moved at a lovely and engaging pace. I loved meeting the characters, getting to know them and wondering how their journey would play out. I thought there were also some great supporting characters. Some providing friendship and others a hint of drama. There were important themes threaded throughout that provided a deeper element to the story. The inclusion of real people from that era also brought the historical side of the book to life.

A Manhattan Heiress in Paris has it all. A beautiful setting, characters that make you want the best for them and of course a stunning romance. There was such a heartwarming feel to this book, as I turned the last page I couldn’t help but smile and be left feeling hopeful.

Author Bio

Amanda wrote her first romance at the age of sixteen–a vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her strongest subject…)

MY REVIEW

Oh, I loved these characters! I really enjoyed getting to know both Benedictus and Adela. These characters were strong, resilient and engaging. They had a kind of slow burn romance that made everything all the more realistic. Their chemistry simmered to begin with then just got more sizzling with every interaction.

The plot moved at a good pace and I enjoyed my time with the characters as they faced political intrigue. Along with seeing their blossoming romance develop. There was a little bit of everything to entertain in this story with moments of drama, romance and also a hint of danger. This book is part of The King’s Knights series but it does work very well as a standalone story. However I have to say the whole series has been such a fun adventure!

Bound to the Warrior Knight was a real joy to read. I loved the characters, the story and everything in between!

MY REVIEW

Well, it’s safe to say this collection of short stories was filled with entertaining tales!

There really was a little bit of everything to keep my attention. I do have a soft spot for short stories. They are great to pick up if you are short of time or you can read as many as you want in one go. The choice really is yours! Each of the stories in Let Your Lips Twitch ranged in length from a couple of pages to just that little bit longer but all were designed to be read in one small bite size sitting.

Out of all the stories it’s difficult to pick a favourite but Shelf Help was a fun and unusual tale. Along with Red Nose and A Party Dress, which was a cute read. I enjoyed the unexpected kind of story too like Mr. Regret.

I thought there was a good variety of subjects from the everyday realistic kind of story to a more magical aspect. I found myself smiling throughout this book. The collection of sometimes different but humorous tales were like a breath of fresh air. Let Your Lips Twitch had a brilliant array of genre crossing stories. I’m very glad I picked up this book!
