My Review:

This is the third book in the Lancaster Family series and I highly recommend reading them in order for the best enjoyment. I love the Dangerous Duke (Adam, whom we meet in book one). I adored his unique relationship with Daphne.

Series: The Lancaster Family #1

Author: Sarah M. Eden

My Review:

I have had this book on my TBR for four years and I am annoyed that I waited so long to read it. However, that just means I can binge the series together, which is what I plan to do.

I needed a change from my normal reads and this was certainly that. I was immediately captivated by Mildred's world.

My Review:

I finished this a few days ago and then moved, so my brain is all over the place. My review will not do this book justice.

The Bachelor Spy

Series: Freddie & Grace Mystery #5

Author: Pepper Basham

My Review:

I love Pepper Basham's books, but I was hesitant to read this one. I loved the first book in the series. However, the others haven't interested me as much. I think I have finally figured out why.

Battling the Bluestocking

Title: Battling the Bluestocking

Series: The Donovans #3

Author: Martha Keyes 

Narrators: Ella Lynch & Rupert Degas

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Battling the Bluestocking is the third book in the Donovan series. While it COULD be read as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading The Art of Victory and A Confirmed Rake first.

A Confirmed Rake

Title: A Confirmed Rake

Series: The Donovans #2

Author: Martha Keyes 

Narrators: Ella Lynch & Rupert Degas

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

A Confirmed Rake is the second book in the Donovan series, and while it COULD be read as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading The Art of Victory first. There we meet Diana (Valentine's sister) and Marmaduke (Rebecca's brother).

Okay, this one is one hundred percent for those who love birds and bird-watching. But it's also for those of us who crave a good story.

The Duke's Bargain

Title: The Duke's Bargain

Author: Megan Walker

Source: Own

My Review:

While this is a stand-alone novel, there is something you need to know. The Duke from Miss Newbury's List and Georgiana from Lakeshire Park are the main characters in this book. If you have not read those books, I highly recommend reading them before starting this one to understand the full story behind these two characters.

Lakeshire Park

Title: Lakeshire Park

Author: Megan Walker

Source: Library

My Review:

Here is what you need to know. This is a standalone novel. However, if you have plans to read The Duke's Bargain, Megan Walker's newest release, you should first read Miss Newbury's List, then Lakeshire Park, and finally, The Duke's Bargain. The Duke from Miss Newbury's List and Georgiana from this book are the main characters in The Duke's Bargain.

The Q

Title: The Q

Author: Beth Brower

Source: Own

My Review:

I was intimidated by the size of this book. Instead of committing to reading it straight through, I decided to start with a chapter a day. That didn't last long, as the first chapter captured my interest and curiosity. However, a few chapters in, I started wondering if I should DNF the book.

Counterfeit Truth

Title: Counterfeit Truth

Series: Hidden Hearts of the Gilded Age #.5

Author: Crystal Caudill

Source: own

My Review:

I don't read novellas very often because I don't feel like they give the full story, or enough of the story to be invested in the storyline.
