by Carla Kelly
4 stars... a solid, lovely and precious book by Carla Kelly where romance is slow burn; where you can't but end up loving the characters. Then again, that's why I read Ms. Kelly's books. Sometimes they just make me grin like a lunatic, and I end up feeling so happy for the couples involved! :D Ref...
I can't improve on Lady Wesley's review on Goodreads, where she says that this book is one of the best Traditional Regencies she's ever read. Totally agree! We need to come up with a list of "10 Best Traditional Regencies ever published" - I would definitely insist on this one being on that li...

I was pretty skeptical reading this book because I knew it was "kisses only" and I prefer a bit more heat than that. Surprisingly, though, the story was so good and the writing so great that it didn't matter. I loved Lord Ragsdale and Emma and their romance was sweet and perfect. Highly recommend.
