A Night to Surrender - Tessa Dare

Welcome to Spindle Cove, where ladies with delicate constitutions come for the sea air, and men in their prime are . . . nowhere to be found.

Or are they?

Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: the painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there.

Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here. So far as he can tell, there's nothing in this place but spinsters . . .and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders togather a militia. It's a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisite Susanna Finch--a woman who is determined to save her personal utopia from the invasion of Bram's makeshift army.

Susanna has no use for aggravating men; Bram has sworn off interfering women. The scene is set for an epic battle; but who can be named the winner when both have so much to lose?

 

Hey guys I know I said that I was going to do a video review for Low Pressure but when I got home last night I looked at my (overflowing) bookshelf and saw this beauty glaring a hole in me. I started reading this book...gosh I know it has been over a year ago. I started it when I was going through some very personal and emotional things due to my father's illness and I lost all interest in everything even this book...the book was wonderful but my heart was just not in it...then last night I decided I was going to finish it and finish it I did!!

 

I'm so glad that I finally got through with this book and very happy with myself that I was able to pick up where I left off over a year ago without any trouble.

 

However, this review is going to be short and sweet...

 

Basically I absolutely adored this book and remembered why I fell in love with Tessa Dare's writing.

 

Also, Bram is definitely the epitome of a tortured hero and of course I loved him because I just have this thing with the whole tortured hero!

 

And Susanna was just absolutely awesome...she was the perfect match for our glowering, tortured hero!!

 

So please if you are looking for a wonderful story to read then definitely give this book a chance...immediately after finishing this one I bought the next book in the series A Week to be Wicked on my Kindle and I'm really looking forward to reading that one!!

 

Happy Reading,

Mindy

What Happens in Scotland - Jennifer McQuiston

Lady Georgette Thorold has always been wary of marriage, so when she wakes up next to an attractive Scotsman with a wedding ring on her finger, it’s easy to understand why she panics and flees. Convinced that Georgette is a thief, her may-be husband, James McKenzie, searches for her. As both try to recall what happened that fateful night, they begin to realize that their attraction and desire for each other is undeniable. But is it enough?

Hello my lovelies!! How have you been? I hope you have been doing well. I'm finally back with a new book review...YAY!!

I found this book while trolling through Amazon's Coming Soon section of romance novels a few months ago. As soon as I read the description I knew I had to have this book!

So I ordered it along with some other books (that I seriously need to get my butt to reading) and cracked it open immediately. Now I will admit that it did take a little bit to get going (kind of like a train starting out at the station) but once it hit its stride it turned out to be a very wonderful book.

Georgette heads to stay with her cousin in Scotland after what she feels is proper mourning for her no good husband. She had a marriage but it was not what she had pictured for herself and after her husband's death she decides that she does not want to ever be married again because marriage made her unhappy and now she is free to spend her inheritance any way she pleases.

However, what she does not realize is that her cousin has his own nefarious plans for her and her fortune.

So Georgette escapes his clutches and runs into the town of Moraig (I think that's the name I finished it some time ago...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). She starts kicking her heels up at a local pub and soon wakes up to find herself in bed with Scotsman and apparently married.

When he awakens she throws a chamber pot at him...a freaking chamber pot...I was laughing soo hard at this I could barely contain myself. She flees but soon realizes she has no memory of the night before and that she needs to find her mysterious husband and make an annulment like yesterday.

James can't believe he does not remember the night before so he goes in search of the mysterious woman who threw a chamber pot (LOL) at his head.

So they each spend the day (yes this book only takes place in the span of one day) trying to find the other and enter a bar wench turned house maid, an over protective brother, a lost horse, a stray kitten, a butcher with missing teeth and several other zany characters and you have all the makings of a Hangover set in 19th Century Scotland!!

I will tell you guys the reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is because of the slow start but other than that I have no complaints with this book. I think this was a wonderful debut novel and can't wait to see what else Ms. McQuiston decides to pull out of her writer's cap!!

Also, guys I'm hopefully going to be starting a YouTube channel and will start posting all my reviews there but I will put links here. I just think that would be a really cool way to get a review that way you can really get a sense of my feelings for a book better than reading what I write.

So I hope you guys are staying happy and healthy I'm off to read Dead Ever After the last Sookie Stackhouse book...but I must be honest I'm having a hard time getting into it since I know the ending...thanks internet, LOL!!

Happy Reading,
Mindy
