I did not finish reading this. I Iike romance with the best of them, However, this very graphic  when the lovers get together--not sweet love at all. Not my kind of book and immediately deleted this from my kindle.  It could have been a nice romance with out the hard core scenes.

Regency romances can run the gamut from fun, rollicking stories of two people hiding their attraction behind biting verbal exchanges to the more heart-wrenching tales of love lost by sacrifice and misunderstanding.  Engaging the Earl, by Mandy Goff, evokes laughter, tears, surprises and sighs in a truly stellar romance combining the best of both types.

Marcus, Earl of Westin, has been asked by his sister to find a husband for her friend, Emma. This stalwart, brooding elder brother takes his responsibility seriously, only to find he is falling in love with the woman he seeks to help.  Emma Mercer, a governess fallen on hard times, finds herself both irritated by and attracted to this man with secrets, burdens, and a good heart.  Whether it is a tender moment or lively banter between the hero and heroine, confrontation between hero and suitor, or interactions with secondary characters, Goff provides scenes worth reading over and over again and a book to be put on the keeper shelf.

It's funny, sweet, clean, and full of swoon-worthy romance.  I laughed. I cried. I fell in love. And I love it more every time I read it!

This one follows a few characters romances, 3 of I recall correctly. I found some of the romances more interesting then others and yet was a little disappointed some of the more interesting character romance relationships were not more well developed.

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book

I always pick up Harlequin books with a cringe. Im afraid Ill get a sappy romance with characters that are just too perfect and utter cheesy lines to each other. And somehow I am always pleasantly surprised. Okay, the characters might be a little more perfect than I like, but the writing is always good and the characters have depth that a lot of the cheaper romances don't have.

Take Lexi, for example. Physically shes perfect but shes also driven to build her design business and in that vein she is headstrong and demanding. In her head, shes a little snide and snarky but she doesnt let it out too often so I liked being privy to those thoughts. I also liked that she had fear. When someone breaks into her house, she doesnt get fighting mad like most heroines might  she just plain freaks out.

Brodey I was a little divided on. He was a mans man kind of man. Strong and handsome, he has a loving family that all support each other. It seemed his only imperfection was a temporarily injured arm. That and the fact that hes a bit over-protective, which I found amusing (although Im not sure Id find it so fun in real life).

On top of the characters, there was just enough mystery to keep my senses involved and interested. The Detective is another Harlequin book that (happily) proved me wrong once again.

I loved this book because it combined two of my favorite things: romance and England. I think that the writer wrote decent three dimensional characters. Characters that the reader can easily fall in love with.

I love proper romancesyou get all the good stuff without all the inappropriate.  Sarah Eden is my favorite author next to Jane Austen but these anthology collections have introduced me to some other really great authors as well.

I use this book as an 'ambassador of romance', giving copies to friends to introduce them to what great romance books are all about.  I just adore it and Susan Elizabeth Phillips' other fantastic novels.

I have read A LOT of romance novels and this still holds true as one of the best, if not my favorite.  In so many novels, the hero and heroine meet and fall in love instantly, with no real background.  In this novel, JD does something wonderful, she lets them become friends first.  They learn about each other, laugh, and develop that bond of friendship.  Talking matters as much as romance, friendship matters as much as lust.

This is the most real characters I have every read in romance novels.  They stay with me.

Readers if you love your Romance and mix it with some of your favorite music? You have the best simply the best. Let's wax poetic here since my Late Great Husband and I used to sing and play Beatles music as one of our Romance things. He played guitar and I sang. This touched my heart and since I am probably one of the few still alive who SAW THE FIRST BEATLES CONCERT in the US. The Hero Carter was just beautiful on the outside a real womanizer with a tremendous heart. He is a truly beautiful on the outside and on the inside. He reminds me of me in some ways - prettier on the inside than out really if someone takes the time. Having been told I am beautiful like Carter the inside of me is the best part. The heroin Kendal grows up with him confused and learns the greatest lesson of life and that is grab and take a chance holding on the most precious. It's not the money the things but Love and true love. "Hello Goodbye" another Beatles song. There is the Hello and all the in between and the final Goodbye. Thank God she didn't choose Goodbye in the end. My Goodbye happened Christmas Day 13 years ago when he died. He was my "Supreme Commander" too. This book touched the deepest part down deep inside of the deepest depths of me. It will forever remain forever one of my favorites.  Read this book and bring back your own memories...

This was a true mnage romance, and the love story of three people coming together is central. Max, Steve, and Lauren are just a tad antiseptic, meaning my read of them was always a little dispassionate. I observed their journey, but I didn't feel with them. The text was beautifully presented, and the plot moved at a good pace. The hot scenes were adventurous but again for me, not especially arousing.

If you love romance with a touch of something extra , you'll love this series. The Irish settings are beautiful and the women are special and beloved by most.

Regency historical fiction is probably my favorite era to read.  In my early 20's I fell in love with Jane Austen's stories.  I love that time period in England and reading about the cultural conventions.

This collection of Regency stories continues my love for this era.  These stories talk about the social boundaries, the cultural climate, and the romance that develops and rekindles through stolen glances and gentle touches.  Ahh...I really do love these stories.

One of the things I like about the A Timeless Romance Anthologies is that it introduces me to authors I may not otherwise read.  Plus, I know that when I read these collections they will be clean romances with a satisfying conclusion.

Warnings: In The Mender there is some description of battle wounds.

I would let my 16 year old read this collection of stories.

If you are looking for historical romances check out those writtin by Isabel Mere. She captures the thrill and romance of love and attraction. Makes me yearn for my dating days with my husband. Brings back some wonderful memories. Each book I have read so far has wonderful stories behind the love.

oh my goodness, these four authors have pulled together four sweet and clean romances that will have you laughing out loud and wondering what just happened? I could not put the book down and still have their stories in my head.

I do like how all these books are linked together and in each one there is a mention of one of the other characters. Each one shows a quick romance that is possible to happen, has its standard romance options with a zing in it - boy & girl meet; there is an attraction; they make detailed whoopie; have a fight; but then get together in the end.  So they are short, sweet and to the point which is sometimes all we have time for in our busy world today, so it is one of those you can read on your Kindle/phone while sipping a mocha at a cafe on a rainy, windy day.  With this one though there is a link to the past that comes out when Charlie reveals a secret that he has held in his heart and mind for a very long time which he does reveal.  Dana is the right person to deal with that issue and add some much needy sass in his life, especially when his dog is having issues as well.  Some of the scenes I could honestly picture happening in my head and they did bring a smile to my face.  It was a great book to read and I will recommend it to my friends.

The only issue that I have with these series is that there is characters in there that I wish would pop up again in possible future books that are mentioned frequently in several of the series.

I had the chance to read the individual books from some of these authors. And I fell in love with them again
Capitol South by Raine Miller was amazing, I love how my queen of romance can give us unique stories, short or long, no matter what she give us beauty in words.
Wall Street Station by Liv Morris is wonderful, how can you fell in love with a few words.
The chemistry between Sera and Seth. The magical time between Gray and Reese, these author can take romance to another level! Gosh I loved this
