This is an award winner for sure.  Jan and Chiclet have done a great job on educating folks about alternative canine care.  I highly recommend this book for all dog owners.  It is a great Christmas present and the price sure is right.

Ms. Quinn has the most superb talent for creating witty dialogue and adorable characters, and I'm not just talking about the main couple! From the hero's unexpected, yet endearingly touching, kiss to "Miss Jane" to the laughable antics of a sly cat, this book was truly an enjoyable read. I caught myself going from grins to giggles to outright teary-eyed laughter and loving every minute of it. I'm so thankful it's part of a series. One book... for all of these wonderful characters... is just not enough! Thank you Ms. Quinn and please keep them coming!

If you're looking for a charming story with a hopelessly romantic happy ending: look no further. Gage, the bold and rather heartbroken hero, is almost perfect. And Shemaine...what can one say? You will cheer her on from your first meeting. She has class, spunk, kindness, and (as usual) outstanding beauty. While a rather small amount of dialouge is fairly unbelievable, and the plot is every ONCE in a while predictable (i.e. you don't have to think to read this book, hence the 8 not 10 ) this is a darling tale of love conquering all. And...if you read this book for no other purpose: the Beauchamps are back in it! The mystery of Garland's husband is solved...and you meet a pre-Shanna Raurk!

This book is a delight from start to finish. The text is cute and gives a positive message to the reader. But for as well done as the 'story' is the illustrations are absolutely darling. They make the whole book in my opinion.  Every page is so sweetly done up. Every little detail is just perfection.  Kudos to this author.

Received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"Being Audrey Hepburn" is perfectly marvelous, darlings! ;) Mitchell Kriegman spins a charming and inspired tale full of mischief, romance, and to-die-for fashion! Seriously well done on the fashion descriptions. I think a lot of authors get caught up in the mundane details of what the characters are wearing. But this felt like Kriegman was painting a fashion masterpiece with the words.

Lisbeth makes for a great MC. Shes totally adorable and an easily relatable gal trying to find her voice and her way in the world. I have to say the story was surprisingly unpredictable in some ways which made for a total breath of fresh air in the genre.

My only wish was that her romantic relationships had been a bit more developed. I feel like we missed out on seeing her fall for the guy. The romance was thereI just wasn't quite as invested as I would have been if the audience had gotten to fall in love along with her.

This book is filled to the brim with nods to Audrey, which makes it an absolute dream for her fans. If you love Audrey Hepburn (I know I do), then this one is not to be missed!

P.S. This would make for a fun movie. Hope someone options it

I wish I could give this more stars! 5 just doesn't seem like enough. I absolutely fell in love with Wynn. And who wouldn't? He's amazing. And gorgeous. And hilarious. And perfect for Rose. I love how he rescues her and then loses her and has her returned all in one afternoon. The twins were great! They reminded me of the twins from the anime Oroum Academy Host Club. Of our heroine Rosellen I cannot say enough. She is perfect. The perfect mix of Regency miss and minx. Spunky yet sensible, modest yet firm in her opinions. She doesn't back down from anyone especially not Wynn. I wish we had seen a bit more of Susan, Danny, and Stubbins. We saw just the right amount of Buck. Clarice did not get the set down she was begging for, unless she really did join Merigrew on the boat to India. The writing was phenomenal, the period accurate. The characters were spot on. Most of the book was laugh out loud hilarious, nearly every time Wynn was on the page I was rolling on the floor. Such a great book. This one is going on the favorite list for sure! Very highly recommended for all Regency Romance lovers.

This book is fabulous!  A solid 5 stars from me. An absolutely wonderful summer read from Heidi Swain.
A beautifully enticing front cover that draws the eye and then drags you in instantly!  The story follows Amber, a big city hot shot with all the contacts, who decides enough is enough. She turns down her boss Simon when he offers her what should be her dream job. Managing a new office in Dubai.  Instead, she heads up to Skylark Farm with her boyfriend Jake. Skylark has been in his family for generations and it's in the hands of his Aunt Annie. A kind and stalwart lady who is always on hand for advice.  Determined to make a go of it, Amber throws herself, her flowered wellies and her boden shirts straight into the running of the farm. With no experience whatsoever she's learning on the  job.
Throughout the summer Amber makes friends, settles in and is on hand to help in a crisis. Is she afforded the same help and love when her life at Skylark and all she's worked so hard to achieve is thrown into turmoil and doubt?
A fabulous novel that is filled with good humour, fun, romance and some ups and downs along the way. A feel good story that I can highly recommend, a must read for the summer and I can't wait for the next!

Someday My Prince Will Come is undoubtedly delightful! When I saw Miss Fine's book in the store I knew it was something I was suposed to read. As a romantic and dreamer who was doubting her own path towards a destiny determined as a little girl, I was uplifted and found new hope in this book. In addition to being witty, well written, and very entertaining, Someday My Prince Will Come is unexpectedly full of heart. I found Jerramy Fine's voice to be lovely and charming. She is a heroine for anyone who has ever believed in true love, destiny, or following through on your childhood dreams. Jerramy is much more than a 'wanabee princess', but a strong woman with great heart who could never be accused of leading an unlived life, and lives up to her middle name with the wisdom she summons in her quest for happiness.

Oh holy wow! I absolutely LOVED this book! Emma has well and truly done it again.

Kali is used to the looks, the whispers - she's a female builder after all, not something you see every day. She loves what she does and has always been able to stay professional and get the job done. But when a single dad and his adorable twins move to town...well let's just say he brings Hot Dad to a whole new level. He's asked her to build his twins' bedrooms. The problem? She wants to screw a lot more than a few shelves into the wall. Keeping her hands to herself is one thing, but can she keep her heart out of it as well?

This was such an amazing book! I laughed so loud practically the whole way through - definitely don't read this on public transport or at work unless you're prepared to get some odd looks. To be honest though, it was totally worth it! I loved Kali and Brantley, and I absolutely adored the twins! They're too cute! I loved every minute of this and I can't wait for Miss Mechanic, if its anything like this we are in for a treat!

A laugh out loud brilliant romance that you 100% need to read right now!

I voluntarily received an ARC in exchange for an honest review

What an adorable, cute read! A true southern belle story! I was captivated with the city and the characters.
The characters were extremely southern in their quirky and eccentric behavior. The twists and turns kept me laughing and gasping throughout the tale!!
Extremely entertaining and enjoyable!!!

Gabrielle Flood is being daring. While her employers at Brittle & Sons, Printers, are away on holiday in Bristol, Gabrielle borrows the printing type from her workplace to bring to her flat and show her gravely ill grandmother, for whom it will be the grandest joy. No one will ever know. Unfortunately, on her way home with her treasure, an unfortunate accident happens, which for Gabrielle means certain ruination. She will lose her job, and she and her beloved grandmother, who already barely have enough to live on, will be destitute. What Gabrielle couldn't know is that the handsome scoundrel, who inadvertently caused her misfortune, is definitely not as bad as she had first thought

What an indescribable delight joy it is to experience the wondrous Katharine Ashe at her most elegant, her wittiest, her absolute best! Said scoundrel is Captain Anthony Masinter, one of the most beautiful characters ever created by Ms. Ashe. He is dashing, honest, honourable, and utterly irresistible! Gabrielle is very straightforward, a stickler for proper speech, which leads to some of the most splendid and amusing exchanges as she corrects Anthonys grammar. The author did some serious research into printing, and I devoured every word. Katharine Ashe is a brilliant writer, and her prose in THE SCOUNDREL AND I is simply dazzling: so rich, luminous, eloquent, as well as delightfully clever. I read a good part of the book with a silly smile on my face, which is saying a lot as just before I had finished a book that had left me feeling angry, which illustrate how wonderful THE SCOUNDREL AND I truly is; being able to convey such feelings of happiness to a reader is a precious gift from an author. But not everything is all laughs; one character has a devastating secret, and it made this magnificent story even grander! This is going to be hard to describe, but its another quality to this amazing book: I had an impression of movement throughout, there is an airiness to the story, a lightness to the characters and the romance that is wonderfully pleasant. Anthony and Gabrielle complete each other magnificently, and the romance is absolutely divine! I felt their chemistry, their respect for each other, their connection, and their backstories are enthralling. I loved THE SCOUNDREL AND I as much as one can love a book!

THE SCOUNDREL AND I is a long novella, and if all that beauty, wit, glorious writing weren't enough, Katharine Ashe treats us to the most stupendous exchange of letters between of Lady Justice and Peregrine of the Falcon Club Series, and that alone would qualify as reason enough to read this astounding book!

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

Jessica Prince knows how to write a female character that is so quirky, full of sass, heart and so much more! In Chance Encounters, Princes takes you back to your childhood days with an updated ugly duckling story with her leading lady, Melany. Melany is a young woman who has shielded her heart by living within in reality she creates within her head. Socially awkward, full of fun trivia she meets Chance at her boss' engagement party. Immediately he is drawn her to quirky personality and together they hatch a plan to bring this ugly duckling out of her shell.

From the moment I starting reading this novel, Prince put a smile on my face. The witty banter and fun antics of the characters had me laughing out loud and rooting for them all. Prince has perfected the art of drawing you in with well written characters. She also knows a thing or two about some uber hot love scenes that'll leave ya squirming in your chair. Chance Encounters has it all. But so do almost all of Princes' novels. So why not become a fan today and check her out. I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do.

Anna Godbersen is officially Queen of period novels and my book loving heart! That's all thanks to Beautiful Days, the second novel in the Bright Young Things series.

Now, I am usually a pretty fast reader, but I really enjoyed taking my time with this book. I completely immersed myself in the world of speakeasies, bootleggers and flappers.  Side note: I may or may not have started addressing people with  "Yes, darling."

Don't judge me.  It's not my fault Godbersen does a fantastic job of taking readers to these far away places and making them feel like they're actually there. Not to mention the twists and turns throughout the book that will leave you thrilled, breathless, and anxious all at once.

It's interesting, after what seemed to be a never ending set of trials and tribulations, these girls managed to grow up right before my eyes, which I loved. By the end of the novel, I also came to the realization that I have a deep admiration for Cordelia Grey.  Her flaws, bravery, and unapologetic nature make her my absolute favorite character in the series.

If it wasn't obvious, I absolutely ADORED this book! I can't wait to see what's next for these gorgeous ladies and the guys after their hearts in The Lucky Ones (2012).

I have to confess that I was a little hesitant when I first got this book: Short-straw bride? It sounded a little silly. Boy, was I wrong!! I loved, loved, loved this book. Why? Well, let's see:

Great plot: set in late 1800s Texas, it is the story of Meredith, a young orphan whose path crosses her childhood crush, secluded Travis. Because of circumstances, they find their lives entangled and learn to know each other, but also grow into some social and spiritual changes that, at the end, make them better for it.

Great characters: the protagonists, as well as their friends and members of their respective families, are all well written characters that are entertaining and endearing. I found myself completely drawn to Meredith, this wonderful woman of God who is strong and yet vulnerable, and to Travis, a tough and yet compassionate cowboy who will steal your heart!

Wonderful humor: you will find yourself laughing at several of the comical scenes that are so well described in this book: -look for when Meredith is delirious and describes her feeling for Travis, thinking he is just a dream... hilarious!

Amazing romance: innocent, and yet passionate! The two develop a deep love for each other that is greatly paced and will make your heart beat a little faster. Witemeyer masterfully describes the deep feelings that our protagonists experience for each other in a way that will keep you hooked to the end!

**This is a wonderful, funny, uplifting, romantic novel with a Christian undertone. I read this book twice in a week!! And I cannot wait to grab more of this amazing author. My thanks to Bethany House Publishers for providing a free copy of this delightful book in exchange for my honest opinion.
