Artfully Wicked
Sandra R (Top 100 reviewer) I really liked this traditional regency novella - it's well written with an interesting story- several balls, carriage rides and a house party. A lot happened, but it didn't feel rushed and the character development was good, as were the Historical details. There are some steamy romance scenes nicely woven into the plot. All in all, a pleasant afternoon read. 
Golden Opportunity
I enjoyed Marigold and Hagen. Being able to explore the attraction they once had for each other, now as adults, was entertaining. There are a few misunderstandings these two must get past, but nothing angsty. It’s all about timing with these two. Overall, a good read that kept me entertained. --------------- This was a quick read with a lot of fun reading fun. You will enjoy it. There is a lot of family underhanded fun afoot. The soul-searching gets to the heart of it too. I give this: 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. --------------- I have not read any of the previous books so I can safely say this can be read as a stand alone. The book was an interesting read and kept my attention but I kept reading and reading to find out what the secret was about Hagen's marriage and the reason behind Marigold's turning him down. _________

SETS APPEAL
Taylor, Virginia. Sets Appeal. Lyrical: Kensington. CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE Divorced for a year, Vix Tremain has finally gotten over her ex-husband via a sexy new body and a new job as a theater set painter. To prove she isn’t frigid, as her ex had claimed, Vix has her sights set on a fling with handsome theater construction manager Jay Dee. Meanwhile, JD recognizes Vix as the former Victoria Tremain, whose husband caused JD to lose his full scholarship while obtaining a graduate degree in architecture. Both JD and Vix figure they can use the other to get over their past hurts, but what they don’t expect is to develop a strong friendship and trust that just might stand the test of time. Verdict: Taylor (Starling) crafts a believable opposites-attract romance between rich Vix and self-made Jay Dee by building their relationship on what they have in common: theater work and a love of design. With a South Australia setting, the book’s realistic Aussie dialog will transport readers to this distant locale while making Sets Appeal a fun, lighthearted departure from standard romance fare.—Eve Stano, Lincoln Lib., Springfield, IL WENNA

Theresa Smith - With a cast of colourful characters and an engaging storyline, I was sorry to reach the end of this novel.
CHARLOTTE
Tima- Goodreads ... The plot was a bit different and the writing style wasn't standard regency. This made it unique and fascinating. There are a few bedroom scenes (all between a married couple) ... Overall it was sweet and different and made me want to check out other books by this author.
Stacey is Sassy - Goodreads ...The story flowed well and kept my attention from start to finish.

'Ella by Virginia Taylor takes us to the South Lands of Australia where life is difficult and making a living almost impossible, especially if you are a young woman. Meet Ella, fall in love with her spirit and her strength and watch as she gives up her own live for the sake of her sisters. If that isn’t a strong heroine, nothing is!

STARLING
'Delightful, delicious, warm and witty – these are some of the words that come to mind after reading Ms Taylor’s book, Starling. There were twists and turns within a well plotted well considered story that includes a cast of characters that were all fun except for one. And, there always must be at least one villain in a love story, right?
Alasdair made assumptions about Starling when he hired her to pose as his wife for two weeks and his assumptions manage to cause trouble throughout the novel – trouble for both Starling and himself. He has provided plenty of money, a cushy place to stay and almost all that a poor woman might wish to have but it may not prove to be enough. When the “love of his life” shows up to throw a wrench into his plans the game changes from what he thought it would be to something else entirely.
If you like a well written historical romance with attractive characters filled with strength of will and along with a cast of supporting characters that add depth to the story then this is a book I can highly recommend.
Thank you to Kensington Books for giving me this book through NetGalley to read.'

LOSING PATIENTS
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and in fact couldn`t put it down! I would recommend this book - especially as a read simply for pleasure! - Rosco (Amazon) ***** I do love a good medical romance and when that’s combined with a suspense element…well, I’m in my element! Bree’s clandestine digging was always a joy to read - and the follow-up with Sam was fun. - Sam Still Reading **** ". . . natural, believable and a delight to follow - the suspenseful subplot that was intense enough to keep the reader guessing -The closer I got to the end of the novel, the more I wished it would never end. I wanted more of the delicious attraction between Bree and Sam. ***** - Long and Short Reviews - See more at Random House |
