Must read romances
Some of these are new-ish releases. Some of them are not. It’s merely a collection of the GREAT romances I’ve read lately. Like, laugh out loud and couldn’t put it down GREAT.
I Love the Earl by Caroline Linden
I love, Love, LOVE this novella. Exquisitely written story featuring a fortune hunting hero and spinster recently turned heiress. It was lines like this that had me laughing: “It irked Margaret how much she liked his voice. He even sounded as she imagined a Barbary pirate would sound, just before he ravished a maiden.” That’s the heroine thinking of the hero, of course.
The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville
I’m a fan of any heroine that will tell the amnesiac hero that he’s her betrothed–especially after he ruined her in society with a comment likening her to a particular vegetable. Plus it begins with the line, “Take off your clothes.” After that commences some partially attired wanderings across Scotland with the memory-less hero, plus a mystery. Totally delightful.
Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen
Funny moment: my friend and I discovered we were both in the midst of reading this book, after each discovering it on our own. I loved this book’s twist on the typical spy story: the two agents, tensely working together on a mission, are man and wife. If you like super sexy spy novels, this is one for you.

I just finished “One Night In London” by Caroline Linden, which was excellent. It is the first one in her series “The Truth about the Duke” The novella “I love the Earl” is the pre-quel to it (which I have also read) Also “The Chief” by Monica McCarty if your are in the mood for some brawny Scottish Highlanders who are part of a Special Ops team for Robert Bruce in the 1300′s. Yummy.
Gosh, I have all of these awaiting me on my Kindle! Can’t wait to get to them now. If only I had more time, or a way to figure out how to get paid big bucks for just lounging around the house.
Instead of doing the housework that was on my to-do list this past week, I did a lot of reading (sci-fi, romance, history) instead. Some great reads, and a couple of not so great ones, too. (Sadly, one vied for worst ever.) I reread a couple of old faves, tho–Jo Beverley’s My Lady Notorious and Candice Hern’s In the Thrill of the Night–and that cheered me right up. Reading Joanna Bourne’s latest-The Black Hawk–now. And have Alan Bradley’s latest Flavia de Luce mystery lined up for after that.
Love this feature. Thanks for the mini-reviews.
