This is an extremely fun read!

The heroine, Samantha, is great - plucky, capable, brave and relatable. She needs money to keep her family farm and to help her mother. Instead of sitting back and being `proper', she goes out and does something about it by dressing up as a boy and sneaking into the house of the mysterious Lord Chattel - a delightful reference to many a favourite Heyer heroine. Lord Chattel is a delightful Regency hero - tall, dark, masculine and wonderfully sensual. Even better, he's also scientist. The romance unfolds beautifully, and you can really feel the sizzling sexual tension from their very first meeting.

I thought the game of Chattel was a wonderfully original plot device and my inner nerd was delighted that it seemed to be the Regency answer to a cross between Chess, poker and a D&D campaign.

I definitely recommend this one!

Alice Clayton has proven to be an incredibly fun romance writer. For fans of romance filled with giggles, this is an author you won't want to miss. I know going into one of her books that I will be smiling and Mai Taid Up was no exception. Very little romance it seemed, but lots and lots of laughing.

Chloe runs off on her fiance the morning of their wedding, realizing that she doesnt love him and this isn't the life she wants. She moves into her fathers unoccupied cottage in a seaside community and starts a home for abused and homeless pitbulls. She becomes quite friendly with the local veterinarian, Lucas, and together they build a fun friendship. But could there be more? These two are obviously having feelings for each other, but with their lives as messy as they are currently, they are putting everything they have into fighting these feelings and focusing on work.

Im not interested in dating anyone right now. I just got here, and Im dealing with some stuff-
Everybodys dealing with some stuff, darlin. Sometimes its just nice to deal with it while looking at a gorgeous hunk of man.
I really enjoyed this story! My only real complaint is that for a romance book, this was definitely lacking when it comes to sexy scenes. I don't think anything remotely romantic happened until around the 70% mark. Not really a huge issue, just wasn't what I was expecting after reading Wallbanger, which was over-the-top sexcapades right from the beginning. It just took me a little by surprise how much of a chick lit feel this had, versus the straight-up romance feel of Wallbanger. Not really a complaint, just unexpected.

Another Alice Clayton book that was all around enjoyable. I definitely plan to check out more of this series. There were so many things that kept me grinning, like how Chloe and Lucas called each other Rebound. (Hee hee) Their friendship was so sweet, and their sexual tension built up throughout the book, leaving us readers begging for them to finally hook up already! There was a huge connection between these two, and it was nearly impossible not to feel it too. Thats what I love most about this series  Alice Clayton writes characters and stories that you cant help but to fall in love with! Good people with real-life issues just living their life. (Throw in hot sexy men, tons of chemistry, off-the-charts sexiness, filled to the brim with giggles, and youve got yourself an Alice Clayton book!) I love it!

This fun romance is a wonderful sequel. After reading Marry Me Maddie I wanted to more and this story of Lance and Sophie delivers. The characters and and the amusing plot kept me turning pages. Thoroughly satisfying.

The Billionaire Bride Pact Romance series has been a lot of fun! I wasn't sure if I would like it because I didn't think I could relate to crazy wealthy people. Cami has done a wonderful job of keeping it real in this new world of money isn't a problem. Each book has been engaging and fun.
The Faithful one is no exception! I was pulled right in. Zander is sent by his father to do their own "Undercover Boss" at one of the B&B's his father owns. Being registered under a false name doesn't fool Trin the manager - she knows exactly who Zander is the moment he steps in the door. Trin is willing to play along and act like she doesn't know who Zander really is because she isn't sure why he is here. They have a great connection from the very beginning. The pace is pretty fast and the characters personalities shine. The few secondary characters add to the depth of the story. I honestly felt like I could have visited the Cloverdale B&B and met these people. I really enjoyed Moriah's funny, sassy, and cheerful attitude.
This book does have some deeper issues that the two main characters have to deal with. It adds a little more adult theme to it. Zander's mom was murdered and at one point he has a dream that has details of when he found her. Alcoholism is another topic but it is shared in an encouraging way.
Great Read!
Clean Romance - no sex or language!

I was gifted a free copy for an honest review.

Sometimes you just want an enjoyable read, you know? This was that for me. :)

I don't read a lot of Regency romance type things, but I so wanted to try this one because Ive loved Melanie Dickersons medieval fairytale romances. I was not disappointed  Melanie does an AMAZING job with the Regency time period! I just felt THERE; completely drawn in. It was really awesome to be in the time period, somehow. Simply fabulous. :D

The heroine, Julia, was quite a good heroine  I really liked her, she was so nice but not stupid. The hero, Nicholas, was of course awesome; an honorable gentleman-spy-by-necessity. ;) I really liked the alternating viewpoints between the two of them  that was such fun to read. The romance was really sweet and I so enjoyed reading their story. I JUST LOVED THEM! ^_^

The slight dash of espionage/suspense added a lot of interest to the plot. Regency spies in London  what a fun idea! I also loved that it had a bit of action and danger, which added to the heroism of the hero (and heroine)! I don't tend to think of action when I think of Regency tales, but the time-period is perfect for it, so I LOVED seeing that in this!

I love Melanies fairytale retellings, but this was her first published original tale, and it was actually fun to not know anything about the plot and be kept guessing! So I really love both this and her retellings, in different ways. Im very much looking forward to book 2 of The Regency Spies of London, whenever it may release! (I hear its going to be about Nicholas sister Leorah, who I really liked, so that excites me!) I cant wait!

This book is technically for adults as opposed to YA, but in this case I didn't mind. It was quite an enjoyable Historical Fiction / Christian / Regency Romance novel, which Id recommend to anyone who likes the genre, or even to try if you haven't yet. I just really enjoyed it. :)

Overall? Its not my usual genre or type of book to read, but it was a fabulous read despite that! I enjoyed it a good deal and Id say I rather love it. ^_^

(Plus, that cover has got to be one of THE most gorgeous ones ever! It still makes me ever so happy every time I walk by my shelf and see it nestled in amongst my growing collection of Dickerson books. <3)

Everywhere and Every Way was so much fun to read! I honestly lost track of how many times I laughed out loud while reading it--it's a perfect blend of humor and fun and sexy romance with more than a little bit of family drama and just a touch of angst to give it a bit of an edge.

I loved Caleb and Morgan together--even when they thought they couldn't stand each other, they had fantastic chemistry. I liked that they could acknowledge (internally, of course!) that they found the other person attractive without it seeming like too much too soon and insta-lusty. Their progression from "let's keep this casual for the few months we have here" to "this could be something more" was believable; it was pretty much impossible not to root for them. Morgan was keeping a pretty big secret from him, though, which was completely understandable when they weren't yet serious but that she definitely should have told him sooner once they were. (More than once she was going to tell him but didn't, and I'm not sure exactly why. Reasons weren't really given at the time, which was a little confusing, but honestly, that's my biggest complaint with the book and I'm not even sure "complaint" isn't too strong a word to use for it.)

Oh, and I adored Morgan's pink hard hat and work boots and the way she gave as good as she got while at the work site. She's my hero! Total girl crush time :)

As awesome as Caleb and Morgan are, though, the book's secondary characters very nearly steal the show at times. I loved Cal's brothers Tristan and Dalton; the dynamic between the three is just fantastic. Cal's assistant Sydney and her daughter Becca, Brady the architect, new-to-the-town bar owner Raven, heck, even Cal's mastiffs Gandalf and Balin were just so much fun to read about. I pretty much wanted to just crawl into the book and be besties with everyone in there.

And maybe ogle a few shirtless construction workers (and a foreman, and master woodcraftsman, and real estate mogul, and architect...) while I'm at it. But I digress.

Cal and his brothers had some pretty big issues to work on in the book--they get a good start here, definitely, though I could definitely see them having to deal with residuals in future series books. Man, did their parents do a number on those poor guys...

I cannot wait for Dalton's story, Any Time and Any Place , which is the next in the series to be released. Fingers crossed that Tristan and Sydney will be the stars of book 3--heck, I'm even hoping that non-Pierce-brother Brady's going to get a book! If the rest of the Billionaire Builders series is just like Everywhere and Every Way, then chances are it'll be my favorite Jennifer Probst series!

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A-

This was just so much fun! There were several stories running at once but the author juggles all the characters very well. I laughed at quite a few places and teared up at a few more. If you like romantic comedy, you might really enjoy this book!

Love the romance, the lessons the characters have to learn, and obstacles that have to be overcome.  Love the characters!

This series continues on with the focus on Lady Beaujolais and Benedict, the Duke of Yardley's stories.  Would you accept a marriage proposal from a man (in this case a Duke) that you have never met?  That is how this story begins.

Benedict messed up and now he feels challenged to come up to the task of being acceptable to the lady who had the nerve to turn down his proposal.  Did he miss his chance with her? Would they suit if they knew each other?  Their friends think so and concoct a plan so that they meet without knowing each other's true identity.  Sooner or later they will discover that they have been tricked.  Will they turn away from each other?  You will find out as you follow along with their journey.

The story has the added plus of bringing in some of the characters from the previous series, which I loved, and is also where we first met Lady Beaujolais (one of the very beautiful triplets).

This wonderfully entertaining read will be very difficult to put down.  It is a sweet romance with a great mix of humor, suspense and excitement resulting in a very enjoyable and satisfying read.  I'm looking forward to Elizabeth's next installment in this series.  Another great story!  Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful book filled with humor and romance. After I received it, I wanted to read a little bit before I went out to eat with the family. I never would have imagined reading half the book that day! The book is simply fantastic and so is the author with his way of keeping me interested and me wondering what was going to happen next. The story was SO MUCH fun!

This is a great light-hearted adventure with romance! Lucia is a really cute, funny character! Her relationship with Sebastian is based off their friendship and a very strong one too. The development of the romance is very natural. There is plenty of action and light-hearted fun in this book!  I highly recommend it.
