The first of my Christmas reads and it was charming. I found myself smiling much of the way through the story, even when I wanted to pinch the hero, the so very bound-by-duty Andrew Blackshear, who is the eldest of the family and so very, very, very proper. *LOL*Our heroine, Lucy Sharp was born to...
I'm really not sure how to review this book between a cold, upstanding widow and a charismatic land management student, but I will say that it in its everyday approach to intimacy it really did wow me. There's this scene, when fondness of the part of the hero was building, that made my heart kick ju...
It's hard to point out what I did or didn't like about this book. I did love how self-aware the hero was and how he took responsibility for himself and his actions. I enjoyed Ms. Grant's voice, though her prose proved difficult for me to read at times. I had a hard time figuring out who was talking....
Lydia Slaughter is a kept woman but if she could only get together some more money she could be her own woman, she uses her gift for numbers at the gaming tables and crosses paths with Will Blackshear, when the two of them join forces things could be very different.There were portions of this that r...
Much to my surprise, I finished this book and liked it well enough. Praise the Lord I have finally broken out of my 2 stars book phase, however temporarily, we shall see. Ms Grant's style isn't showy. A lot of hints you cannot miss and a clever use of undertone which gives you just enough to appreci...
I am FAITHFULLY ASSURED that this book improves, but the weird non-con-ness of the sex early on is Not What I Want to be reading right now, so failing out.
I've read a large number of Christmas-themed Regency novellas, a number of them recently published where Christmas is just incidental background to a stock "Regency-style" love story. This story is not like that at all and with the possible exception of one or two by Mary Balogh, I don't think I've ...
I read Cecilia Grant's A Lady Awakened not so much over Christmas as on Christmas, ignoring my partner’s family, the Queen’s speech, and even Toy Story 3 to finish reading it. Because it’s honestly that good. I think it’s unavoidable to make more of the things you read at the end of the year compare...
Newly widowed and desperate to protect her estate and beloved servants from her malevolent brother-in-law, Martha Russell conceives a daring plan. Or rather, a daring plan to conceive. After all, if she has an heir on the way, her future will be secured. Forsaking all she knows of propriety, Martha ...
