Intelligently written, Marry Me, Marquess is a wonderful tale that kept me engaged from start to finish. It is filled with deep emotion and detailed information about the main characters' first loves—his is antiquarianism, and hers is botany. I tend to expect to be frustrated with the story based on a fake relationship. Instead, my... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Laird of Lies by Willa Blair
This is the first book I have read in the "His Highland Heart" series. Did it matter that it was book five? Not at all!

I can still close my eyes and picture a myriad of people, places, and events. This well-crafted series introduces a powerful... Continue Reading →
