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

Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase

 
 
They call him many names, but Angelic isn't one of them . . .
Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the "Bane and Blight of the Ballisters"—and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He's determined to continue doing what he does best—sin and sin again—and all that's going swimmingly, thank you . . . until the day a shop door opens and she walks in.
She's too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world . . .
Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she's going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him—and with him, her family and future—means taking on the devil himself, she won't back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible, and the person who needs the most saving is—herself!

Okay after hearing a lot about this book around the web (my favorite romance book haunts) and hearing nothing but positive things about it I decided to get it. This is my first book by Loretta Chase.

I have to say I'm very glad that I took the advice of  all those lovely ladies and got this book.

Although there was a lot of positive things of course there were people who found the hero a bit brash and hard. But I decided to make my own decision on this. So I have to say that those descriptions of him are what made me love him so much. I have to admit (and some of you may already know this from previous posts) but I love a dark, tortured hero. I don't know what it is about them and finding redemption with love. It sounds so darkly poetic and Gothic. So yes Sebastian was gruff, hard and somewhat unpleasant but when you read of his background it is not hard to see why. Also, from what I could tell from his description he was HOT but he found himself to be completely ugly thanks to his father. He was a child when he thought his mother just abandoned him because how could she love someone so hideous. So yes I do understand where he was coming from there and understand why he was the way he was.

I also love a smart, sarcastic and sharp tongued heroine just as much as I love my tortured heroes. I love that they speak their mind and aren't afraid to do so. And you must remember this is a historical so women who speak their mind were pretty rare I'm sure during this time. Jessica Trent came from a large family and helped raised many of her nephews. She was a great beauty like her grandmother and felt she did not have to settle for one of the many proposals but could wait for love. OH that makes me think I loved her grandmother Genvieve she was awesome!

This book was absolutely wonderful and I had a hard time putting it down. The character interaction was great but was seriously worried that Jess' brother would end up trampled to death by horses because lets get real he was stupid as they come!

I am also excited because this is book three in a series and I read it first and totally did not freak out which is awesome. I have always thought I had to read every book in a series in order (well some you kinda have to like Harry Potter) but mostly with historicals you see reoccurring characters but nothing so that would hinder you from reading a few out of order.

So I loved this book and have bought Loretta Chase's newest book Silk Is For Seduction and I cannot wait to plunge into that one!

So if you want to read a wonderful and beautifully told book then you need to do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Lord of Scoundrels TODAY or tomorrow's fine to but at least by the end of the week, LOL!!

Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart - Sarah MacLean

 

(Also this picture does not do this cover justice it is like HOT pink!!)

 
She lives for passion.
Bold, impulsive, and a magnet for trouble, Juliana Fiori is no simpering English miss. She refuses to play by society's rules: she speaks her mind, cares nothing for the approval of the ton, and can throw a punch with remarkable accuracy. Her scandalous nature makes her a favorite subject of London's most practiced gossips . . . and precisely the kind of woman The Duke of Leighton wants far far away from him.
 
He swears by reputation.
Scandal is the last thing Simon Pearson has room for in his well-ordered world. The Duke of Disdain is too focused on keeping his title untainted and his secrets unknown. But when he discovers Juliana hiding in his carriage late one evening—risking everything he holds dear—he swears to teach the reckless beauty a lesson in propriety. She has other plans, however; she wants two weeks to prove that even an unflappable duke is not above passion.

This is the third and final book in Sarah MacLean’s Numbers Series. (You can go here to read my reviews of the two previous books - Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord).  Even though this is only Sarah’s third romance novel I have to say she quickly became one of those authors who I absolutely adore!! I find myself excited to read her newest book.

This book is about Juliana Fiori the half-sister of Gabriel (Nine Rules) and Nicholas (Ten Ways). Juliana is not only the daughter of an Italian merchant but daughter to one of the most infamous Marchionesses that the ton has seen in a while. When she first lands in London she catches the eye of Simon Pearson whom she would later find out to be none other than the Duke of Leighton or more commonly known around the ton as the Duke of Disdain. After finding out about Juliana’s parentage he quickly lets her know that she is unworthy of any kind of association with him.

Simon Pearson wants nothing more than to protect his family. His sister is off in the country about to give birth without being married. He thinks by marrying a completely respectable English girl whose family has plenty of money and power and title then when his secret is revealed the ton may gossip but it won’t be much considering whom they will be talking about.

But Juliana has other plans. She wagers with Simon that within two weeks she will have him on his knees. She will make him succumb to passion which he finds to be a completely useless emotion in a good and proper English life.

Simon wagers that he will teach her a lesson that sometimes life must be lived stricter and that living a life full of passion can only lead to scandal and heartache.

The two set out to prove they are in the right. Juliana by tempting Simon at every turn with her sharp tongue and fiery passion. Simon by showing her that he still plans to marry the English “grape”. 

OMG let me just tell you this book was as I told Mrs. MacLean on Twitter – “bloody brilliant”!! At first you hate Simon and you are thinking how in the world is she going to redeem him? Because in the last book Ten Ways you get a bit of a taste of whom he is but then in this book you really see him. So you are wondering how she is going to turn this around. But she does so just beautifully!!  You actually start to feel a bit sorry for him especially after meeting his mother. Juliana wants nothing more than to fit in to the English society even though she claims it does not matter. She wants Simon to realize that a life lived without love and passion is a life only half lived. The story evolved naturally and without seeming pushy.

I know at the end of this story I was sighing and laughing and crying all at the same time. So if a book can do this then all I know is it has to be good!

I will say this the one character that really caught my eye in this book was Benedick the Earl of Allendale whom is the brother of Callie from Nine Rules. I soo would love to have his story!!

So if you want to read an incredibly beautiful and moving love story then you definitely need to read this book and I have a feeling you want be disappointed!! Get your copy here --> Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart

Seducing the Governess - Margo Maguire

A Proper Governess Should Never. . .
Assist a handsome stranger, alone on an unfamiliar road . . . unless the rake happens to be her new employer.
Take a position in a crumbling manor . . . especially if the household staff has been replaced by unruly former soldiers.
Allow her young charge entrÉe to her heart . . . for once done, it will be impossible to maintain proper distance.
Permit her charge's uncle a breathtaking kiss under a star-lit sky . . . henceforth she will most certainly lose composure whenever he is near.
And above all, she should never, ever fall completely, irreversibly in love with her employer . . . for nothing good can possibly come of it.

This is my first book by Margo Maguire and I'm pleased to say that I've found a new author to watch.

This story was different than many. In the fact that our hero was scarred from a fire on his face during Waterloo. However, Mercy saw past all of that and still saw the raw sexual appeal of her new employer.

I loved the beginning it had me laughing and I love that. I loved the fact that one of our main characters wasn't perfect but yet our other main character could see past the outside and fall madly and hopelessly in love with him.

The intrigue woven within the story was enough to get the book a little more meat. Although I do love historical romance books that are simply romance only BUT I do also love books where there is a bit of mystery and intrigue added in.

Also, I fell really hard for Captain Briggs the guy put in charge with finding Mercy for her real grandfather the Duke of Windemere. (I want say anything more - I'm trying to not give so much away in my reviews....*grin*) So I cannot wait to read his story and about Mercy's still missing twin sister.

I loved Nash and Mercy. To me they fit well together and complimented each other in many ways. Their relationship was sweet and endearing BUT I did feel the end was a bit rushed so that is why I only gave it four stars but all in all I really enjoyed this book.  Mercy came from a family who had shown her nothing but cool disdain and Nash had been raised completely opposite but even after his losses he, in the end, was willing to risk his heart (because he was worried about losing more loved ones) to be with the woman he loved.

Captured by the Highlander - Julianne MacLean

THE ENEMY IN HER BED
Lady Amelia Templeton would rather die than surrender to a man like Duncan MacLean. He is the fiercest warrior of his clan—her people’s sworn enemy—and tonight he is standing over her bed. Eyes blazing, muscles taut, and battle axe gleaming, MacLean has come to kill Amelia’s fiancé. But once he sees the lovely, innocent Amelia, he decides to take her instead…
THE LOVER IN HIS ARMS
Stealing the young bride-to-be is the perfect revenge against the man who murdered Duncan’s one true love. But Lady Amelia turns out to be more than a pawn of vengeance and war. This brave, beautiful woman touches something deep in Duncan’s soul that is even more powerful than a warrior’s fury. But when Amelia begins to fall in love with her captor—and surrenders in his arms—the real battle begins…

I just stumbled upon this book at the store and was immediately drawn to the story (hello it is a highlander, LOL!!). I have never read a book by Julianne MacLean but with an endorsement on the front by Teresa Medeiros I thought how could it be wrong?

Well I was drawn in by the very first page and was never let go. The story is so beautifully written right down to the birds chirping in the trees. The wonderful descriptions of the Scottish Highlands made me feel as if I were walking through the fields and seeing what Duncan and Amelia were seeing.

The character development was superb. You can feel the development of the relationship between Duncan and Amelia. It, for me, never felt rushed or hurried along. They were both struggling with similar differences and therefore trying to overcome the differences in their birth. 

Duncan was dealing with being the all might Butcher of the Highlands and seeking out his revenge against the man who took everything from him.

Amelia was struggling with her father's death and wanted nothing more than to feel secure so she quickly agrees to marry but soon learns that the man she has promised herself to may not be the man she thought she was. 

So with wonderful characters and lush surroundings this book is bound to leave you up at night until you have read the last page. Your heart will belong to Duncan as mine did at the end.

Now I've found yet another new author that I love and have had to force myself not to check out eBay to find a lot of her books. But now I cannot wait to read the next book in this particular series by here which is Claimed by the Highlander.

Texas Rain - Jodi Thomas

The first time Rainey Adams meets Texas Ranger Travis McMurray, she steals a kiss-and then his horse. Now Travis is deteremined to track down this intriguing woman and bring her back to the Whispering Mountain Ranch as his bride. But this renegade may be too much for even the toughest Texas Ranger to handle.

This is my first book by Jodi Thomas and I feel instantly in love!! I have to say that my ultimate type of hero is a cowboy. I love highlanders, vampires, shifters, werewolves and the like but give me a hot cowboy (more particularly if it is set in Texas in the 1800s YUM-O)!!!  So now I have to get the next four books in the series...gosh I need to quit finding awesome authors because if I keep it up I will never get that huge to be read pile to go down!!

Rainey Adams has run away from her father's clutches. He planned to have Rainey married off to a man twice her age because bluntly he was tired of dealing with her. Rainey decided she did not want to live the life that her mother had. Living with a mean husband who was abusive. He ran an upscale girls school and at the mere age of 13 he forces her to work without pay and constantly promised to do so but it never came. So after her mother's death and her fathers remarriage she sneaks into his office steals what is owed to her for working and sets out to get as far away from him as possible.

Travis McMurray was finally home for a reprieve after years of service in the Texas Rangers. While attending a barn dance he runs into a woman who captivates him so much she steals his horse right from under his nose. He sets out for her and during his search he gets shot. During his recovery he and Rainey share many letters and during this time his need to have her grows.

He finally catches up with his "fairy" and finds she has started to make a life for herself and refuses to marry him and be beholden to any man.

Soon Travis and Rainey are dealing with old foes of Travis who want to seek out their revenge for him putting them in jail and killing one of their brothers. In the process Rainey comes to realize that Travis is different than her father that he makes her feel worthy and capable.

From the first page I was hooked on the story and was very much invested in the growth of the relationship between Rainey and Travis. I found that it progressed at the perfect pace. It also had plenty of action and was well balanced with the softer side of the story.

If you want to read a story that it is endearing and also full of adventure and of course a hot Texas Ranger then you need to pick up this book.

Unveiled - Courtney Milan

Ash Turner has waited a lifetime to seek revenge on the man who ruined his family—and now the time for justice has arrived. At Parford Manor, he intends to take his place as the rightful heir to the dukedom and settle an old score with the current duke once and for all. But instead he finds himself drawn to a tempting beauty who has the power to undo all his dreams of vengeance….

Lady Margaret knows she should despise the man who's stolen her fortune and her father's legacy—the man she's been ordered to spy on in the guise of a nurse. Yet the more she learns about the new duke, the less she can resist his smoldering appeal. Soon Margaret and Ash find themselves torn between old loyalties—and the tantalizing promise of passion….
This is a new series by Courtney Milan. And I have to say she has quickly become one of my favorite authors to read!!

Ash Turner is determined to make the Duke of Parford pay for his past transgressions against his family. He wants to give his brothers everything he was denied. Even being a very distant cousin to the Duke did not help him when his mother went mad and his sister was dying. He set out to India to make a fortune and he returns with his every ambition met. So he brings suit in the Chancery Courts to contest the legitmacy of the Duke's heirs being as how he was married previously.

Lady Margaret Darymple was left behind by her brothers to keep an eye on Ash Turner. She portrays herself as simply a nurse in the household and she was to report on any flaws of his.  She is still morning the passing of her mother but she is now tasked with watching Ash and also taking care of her ailing father. Her father had become extremely vicious with his words since his ailment. She is tugged between doing what is right for herself and what she thinks is supposed to do for her family.

Margaret soon finds herself drawn to Ash because he is one of the most caring men she has ever met. Which of course counteracts his actions against her father and her family. Ash makes her feel like she was important. That she mattered.

Ash did not care for the rules of polite society. In his eyes men should go by their word. He also felt that when it comes to issues of class they were not even worth mentioning. He is instantly attracted to Margaret is does not care that he is not supposed to be with someone of her position (he thinks she is just a made and not the Lady of the house).

Soon in each other Ash and Margaret find their greatest strengths. Ash is a successful businessman who also cannot read. He fears that Margaret will laugh at him and treat him differently when she finds out but she shocks him by embracing all of him. Even after finding out Margaret deceived him he knows only one thing...he wants her above all.

I read this book in one sitting! I simply did not want to put it down. The interaction and tension between Ash and Margaret felt like it lept out and grabbed you. I love when you have two people who are imperfect but can make themselves perfect within each other.

All I know is I cannot wait to read Mark's book. (Ash's brother). He is writing a book on chastity and his book is about the woman who ruins him...oh talk about delicous!

Trial by Desire - Courtney Milan

She cannot forget the fire he ignited…

In the three years since her husband left her, Lady Kathleen Carhart has managed to forge a fulfilling life for herself. But when Ned Carhart unexpectedly returns, she finds her tranquility uprooted—and her deepest secrets threatened. Though she has no intention of falling for Ned’s charms, Kate can no longer deny the desire that still burns in her heart.

Or the promise of his love…

Ned is determined to regain his wife’s trust by using unbridled seduction. But just as Kate surrenders to Ned’s passion, her carefully guarded past threatens to destroy her. Now Kate must place her faith in the only man she’s ever loved, and the only one who has ever betrayed her…

This is the follow up book to Proof by Seduction. I was soo excited to read this book because I really feel in love with Ned in Proof by Seduction.

Ned was married a mere three months to Lady Kathleen when he decided to head off to China to look after the Blakely investments.  He left because he wanted to prove something to his family that he was dependable and reliable. But mostly that he was able to beat down the beast of his depression. He did not constantly live in the dark but every few years the darkness would take over him.

Lady Kathleen had spent her life as a Duke’s daughter and thought of as something that was to be possessed and treated like a fragile porcelain vase.  But by mere happenstance she helps a woman of her acquaintance escape her violent husband. In this she finds a purpose and in the three years her husband is gone she has helped several other women escape the clutches of their husbands.

When Ned returns to London he finds his school boy friend’s wife (who is also Kate’s best friend) missing and his wife standing on the outside of his family. He also left because he was worried about how his wife would affect his life. He worried that if he depends too much upon her then all his careful training to keep the darkness at bay would be futile and it would overcome him. He soon learns that his wife is strong and capable of helping him carry his burden.

Kate has been trying to build a life since Ned left and when he comes back into her life at first she wants to push him away but finds that she does not want the marriage she was expected to have. She wants a full marriage. She wants a marriage full of love, happiness and mostly trust. She wants to trust in Ned that he will never leave again.

Ned and Kate set out an adventure to not only save their marriage but help a friend. Ned finds out about Kate’s life in helping abused women.  He soon learns that his childhood friend is an abusive husband and he is willing to do anything to help her to prove to Kate that he is worthy of not only her trust but her love.

Oh man did I love this book. I have a super huge crush on Ned. He is that wounded type of hero that your heart just aches for and you want nothing more than to reach out and hug them, LOL!! Kate is strong and yet delicate. I truly admired her for standing up to men in a time when women were seen to be nothing but well nothing to most men. Also to stand trial because she would do anything to help a friend makes her a pretty bad ass woman in my estimation!!

I very highly recommend this book and the one before Proof by Seduction. If you want to grab a copy for yourself just go here -->Trial by Desire (Hqn)

Proof by Seduction - Courtney Milan

She is his last chance for a future of happiness . . .

Jenny Keeble has never let her humble upbringing stop her. She’s made her way in the world as a fortune teller, one who convinces her clients her predictions are correct by telling them what they most want to hear. Business is good… until she meets her match in the form of Gareth Carhart, the Marquess of Blakely, a scientist and sworn bachelor.

He just doesn’t know it yet.

Broodingly handsome, Gareth is appalled to discover his cousin has fallen under the spell of "Madame Esmerelda," and he vows to prove her a fraud. But his unexpected attraction to the fiery enchantress defies logic. Jenny disrupts every facet of Gareth's calculated plan— until he can’t decide whether to ruin her or claim her for his own. Now, as they engage in a passionate battle of wills, two lonely souls must choose between everything they know . . . and the boundless possibilities of love.

This is Courtney Milan’s debut book. I am pleased to say that it was absolutely wonderful. I’m now a huge fan of hers and am currently working on reading the other two books she has produced since then and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into those. Currently Listening To:

At first glance Jenny Keeble aka Madame Esmerelda and Gareth Blakely sense a deep sexual attraction but due to their differences in birth and Gareth being a scientist and Jenny being an alleged gypsy fortune teller they decide there is nothing more there.

Gareth is determined to break the hold that Madame Esmerelda has over his younger cousin by proving through science that she is nothing but a fake.

Jenny knows she’s a fake. She didn’t start down the road to impersonate a gypsy but sometimes things just come to pass that none of us plan. As of late Jenny has wanted to shred the costume of Madame Esmerelda and just be plain old Jenny Keeble again. After meeting Gareth she realizes maybe it is time to move forward and make Madame Esmerelda disappear forever.

Gareth and Jenny soon embark on a road of discovery for both. Gareth grew up in the care of his grandfather who did not tolerate emotion of any kind and embedded in Gareth that emotion had no place for a Marquis. Jenny was abandoned at the age of four and was sent to a school to perfect her in the ways of a lady. She desperately wanted to know the people who had left her in the care of such an unloving place.

So in each other they will find what they have longed for their whole lives. Gareth will find someone who makes him feel alive for the first time and Jenny will find the home she has always longed for.

These characters were soo wonderfully written. I found myself routing for them and for their deserved happy endings. I have to say my favorite part in the book is when Gareth gifts Jenny with a baby elephant (you must read the story to understand the significance because I will not give it away). I was teary while reading their exchange. I love when I read a book and feel soo much for the characters!

So if you want to read a very beautiful story then you must run out and get this book….or you can just go here -->Proof by Seduction (Thorndike Press Large Print Romance Series) (Unfortunately I do not think you can get the mass market paperback edition anymore...well not at least that I could find other than eBay)

Trust Me on This - Jennifer Crusie

Dennie Banks is an investigative reporter chasing down the biggest story of her career. Alec Prentice is a government agent working undercover to catch an elusive grifter. When they meet by accident, it’s a case of mistaken identities at first sight. What they don’t mistake is the instant attraction they have for each other, an attraction they’ll do everything in their power to resist—because Dennie thinks that Alec is running interference for her interview subject, and Alec suspects that Dennie is linked to his swindler. As the confusion grows, so do their feelings for each other, and what begins as a romantic comedy of errors may just end in the love affair of a lifetime.

First of all this will be a short review okay now that I've said that onward...

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Crusie. Her books are always lighthearted and funny. They always make me smile and they are a good break between historicals.

This book was no exception. I was laughing at the antics of Dennie, Alec, Harry and Victoria. Yeah I know the description only mentions Dennie and Alec but the story of Harry and Victoria was just as important or wonderful as Dennie and Alec's.

While I really loved the story and the reason I'm only giving it four stars is I felt it was a bit rushed but then again they were only together at a hotel for a weekend but other than that the story was great and I think if maybe if it took place over a week instead of a weekend it might not have felt  so rushed.

Also this book is a reiusse from 1997 so I also found it funny that the references were from that time so I thought that added to the hilarity of it.

So nevertheless if you are in the mood for a quick, funny and lighthearted read then this book (or pretty much any Jennifer Crusie book) will be the ticket!!
