“An Ivy Hill Christmas”

I love the Ivy Hill series and coming back! It’s been a while though but that’s okay. I think this could be read as a stand-alone.🐶Where to start?! A. It’s Julie Klassen and I love her books. 2. It’s a Christmas story and C. A reformed rake trope!🐶Richard is a bachelor through and through. He…

“The Duke and I”

I was intrigued with the Netflix trailers of the series so I got the first book and couldn’t put it down! I loved the fake dating trope and wished that played out more. I knew this was a steamier read and I do appreciate that it was more realistic in how Daphne and Simon got…

“His Accidental Wife”

Ronald is unlucky in love and orders a mail-order bride. Dorothy is running away and has a secret. Who holds the high card? Love is the ultimate high stakes game that none were expecting to play.♥️This is my first book by Frank but I’ve seen other Western books by her. By the names of some…

“His Stand-In Holiday Girlfriend”

This was such a great novella to put you in the Christmas spirit!🎄Ellie is starting a new job at an architecture firm as an intern. It’s not off to the best start, after getting coffees for everyone she takes a sip of her tea but spits out hot coffee…in the middle of an important meeting…

“Christmas in Love”

You are going to want to grab this book and cozy up in blankets. This is such a sweet story and short novella but it puts you in the Christmas mood from a Christmas carnival to family time to the smells of the season like fresh baked cinnamon rolls. Like seriously- I need some cinnamon…

“The House in The Cerulean Sea”

I saw this on the ‘gram and was interested in it. Hearing it described as 1984 + Umbrella Academy was definitely a plus. In fact I gifted it to my husband (a non reader) and he LOVED it and urged me to read it.🐱I will say this is NOTHING like Umbrella Academy (I get it…

“A Duke For Lady Eve”

I loved this book and how Evelyn pretended to be a Lady, not to catch a Duke but because she pretended to be one when she was a little girl. I definitely pretended to be a princess when I was a girl. And then reading and learning that Evelyn plays with her younger brothers and…

“The Earl’s Mistletoe Match”

This was a fun story. This was a delightful story that was rich in characters and wit. I wish it didn’t end. Perfect book to read during the holidays.

“A Hopeful Christmas”

This is a wonderful collection of Regency Christmas novellas. Hope, miracles and love can transform anyone but it seems especially magical at Christmas. Each of these authors are well versed in the Regency world. -Lord Blakely’s Gift by Anneka Walker – Ivy’s father refuses to visit his mother and his ancestral home because of a…

“Miracle Creek Christmas”

I knew this had a Hallmarky feel to it but this was so much more! The characters felt real and had a lot of depth that most Hallmark movies miss (I haven’t read their books that they’re now publishing to know if that’s different).☃️Mark, known as the small hometown hero, can’t keep living life. He…
