This is my first book by Ms. Rochelle Alers and I was glued to the book. It was a classic tale of two people who couldn't stop from falling in love with eachother. Mr. Grayslake is every woman's dream (protective, romantic, serious but playful). I love how he did not deny how he felt and showed it in front of everyone to where they saw how whipped he was even though his over all appeal was mysterious and threatening. Every woman's DREAM!!! I love this book

Since Elizabeth was sixteen she has fantasized about finding a Mr. Darcy to love and marry. Many boys were passed over and not given a second or third date because they didn't live up to the standard she had set.

In a desperate moment her roommate challenges her to go out with one guy ten times before she gives up on him. She has to at least pretend that she is interested and having a good time, even if she isn't.

Chad becomes the lucky guy to fulfill her challenge. The main problem is that Chad is a wonderful man. He is kind, compassionate, funny, and someone she enjoys spending her time with. She begins to have feelings for him. The her fantasy of the ideal man walks into the bank where she works. Chad takes a back seat from that moment.

Matthew is tall and aloof. He is wealthy and has expensive tastes. In looks he is everything that she envisioned Mr. Darcy to be.

I enjoyed reading this book. Elizabeth is a character who is genuinely confused and has high expectations. She could be anyone that you know who has been entrapped by falling in love with a fantasy. The is a question that arises, is a fantasy what you want in reality?

I obviously have an opinion of who is the better man. In my head throughout the book, I wanted her to open her eyes and have her see the situation as I saw it. It is entertaining to watch events play out see her struggle to figure out what she really wants. I needed to know if she let go of her childish fantasy and fell for the man I thought was best for her.

If you love Austen themed literature, you should like this book. It has many moments that are right in line with the theme. It is a clean book with an interesting story.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Teresa saw him from across the ballroom.  He was staring at her and she stared back.  He abruptly left and she never saw him again.  She thought and dreamed of him for eighteen months.  She was ready to experience marriage and everything a woman could, but she dreamed of him.
Her parents had their eye on the local vicar for Teresa's husband.  She had to find a way out of that situation.  She couldn't stand the man she was supposed to marry.  She wanted the man she only saw for a moment over a year ago.  Of course it was impossible as he was hundreds of miles away in Scotland.
However, luck was with her.  The rumor was the Earl was back in London trying to marry off his seven sisters.  Teresa came up with an outrageous plan to fulfill her dreams.  She made an excuse to get her to London and then came face to face the Earl with a proposal.  He turned her marriage proposal down.  Teresa was disappointed but not discouraged.  She decides to wager with the Earl that she can find his sisters husbands in exchange for the experiences she craves.  Duncan takes the wager knowing that she is determined enough not to accept a no.  He is going to make her abandon her mad plans for him.
Teresa takes the girls under her wing and tries to help them find matches.  With the help of her brother, she knows that she will make her dreams come true.  She is determined to win the wager so the Earl will have to marry her.  Duncan thinks she is mad in a lovely way.  He is torn whether to stop her or let her succeed.

This novella was entertaining.  I loved Teresa's character instantly.  She was ruled by social decorum but she found a way to still go after what she wanted.  She was a creative and funny young woman that was kind to outsiders.  She was someone that the reader could befriend.  Her determination was never ending and combined with her charm, Duncan didn't have a chance.  It was great to watch him flounder a bit over her and her actions.  I give it a 4 out of 5.

Mad About the Major is a sweet and playful novella. Arabellas a delightful feisty heroine. You cant help but root for her to break out of societies norms. Kingsley is a sexy scoundrel who isn't quite and scalawag as he wants people to believe. Author Elizabeth Boyle has put together a perfect novella to fill in the gaps between books eight and nine. Although this part of a series it can be enjoyed as a standalone. I recommend this read to all who enjoy a spunky heroine.

Do yourself a favor and meet Cletus......a most entertaining man!

Marrying a prince or other member of royalty is a lovely dream, one that every woman whos ever seen a Disney movie will recognize. Its whats called a Cinderella trope, a vision of a tall, strong, handsome, rich man wholl sweep down and whisk a woman off to a luxury, stress-free, pampered lifestyle, one thatll answer her every need, want and desire. Its also a dream that modern-day women have been taught to eschew as belonging to a bygone age when a womans only worth was whether she could marry well.

Meet Malayka Sampson, whos within reach of just such a dream. Shes going to marry a royal head of state. Her future husband is enthralled with her while his children are wary and distrustful, especially since FBI, CIA and other law enforcement cant find any trace of her that goes back more than a few years. Malayka isn't above throwing around her weight, assuming a proprietorial air, making demands and issuing orders even though shes yet to get that ring on her finger. Shes demanding, snide (at least when her beau isn't around), petty and quick to find fault.

Her polar opposite is Landry Norris, Malaykas free-spirited, outspoken dresser. Landry is sure of her mind, decisive, intelligent, caring with an eye for fashion and detail. She shudders at the idea of becoming any mans housewife. Shes got a lucrative career, one shes hellbent on keeping, and shes not going to become any guys girlmuch less that of a rigid prince who acts like hes got a stick up his butt.

Yet Prince Kristian is totally hot and commanding, just what youd expect. For the most part, Landry isn't completely swept away by him so much as her new surroundings in his fathers palace. Shes too committed to her career to hop into bed with him at the first opportunity. But, oh, the sparks are flying, and the first time she confronts him about getting into a pool, he loses control and so does she.

But the anticipated sexual encounter doesnt happen right away. They both know such tomfoolery is a bad idea. Hes a native. Shes an American. Hes royalty. Shes a commoner. Hes got duties and priorities involving the palace. Her duties involve her various clients abroad and building her business. Hes been bred all his life to be responsible and she wants a career and a life of her own, one that doesnt revolve around any man.

When the sex finally happens, they are not entirely swept away in the moment (condoms are used, thank goodness). They both revel in the palpable attraction while mindful of how necessary secrecy and discretion is. Far from being a sordid affair, they understand how it cant last but be a lovely and pleasant interlude.

Yet Landry and Kristian are made for each other. They both bring a special intensity and need for one another neither has alone. I actually wanted this prince and this sassy Cinderella to get their happy ending. As royal romances, this is one of the better ones.

Love this story..  Young lady at a crossroads in her career. Meets a young man, possibly of her dreams.  I like how this story progresses.  The passive aggressive 'best friend' was just enough to make want to reach through the pages and choke her once. Maybe twice.  Fun Story with an HEA. Starting to wish we had Sassy Date for real!
