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.

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.

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.

My Review:
I can't believe this is the first book I have read by Megan Walker. Her writing felt like an old friend. I was sure I had read something by her before. Well, now I have a new friend, and I will be reading whatever I can get my hands on by her!

My Review:
I have a confession to make. This book has been on my "want to read" list for years. After checking it out of the library multiple times, including on Hoopla, and never reading it, I decided I didn't want to read it. Then, I decided to give it one more try. You all, I almost missed a fabulous book because of some weird mood I had previously been in!!

RELEASES: October 14, 2025
My Review:
I did not like Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. But when I saw Pepper Basham had a book coming out loosely based on it, I knew I had to read Sense and Suitability. Why? Because Pepper Basham wrote it. Also, this is Basham's first foray into the Regency genre.

My Review:
I finally did it! I finally read North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell!! Did I love it? No. Did I hate it? No. It had an interesting storyline that kept me invested. I did, at times, feel the length of the novel and felt it could have been shorter, LOL!

My Review:
The only books I have read by L.M. Montgomery are the Anne of Green Gables series. I enjoyed them as a child and have always wondered if I would enjoy them as an adult. I have had The Blue Castle on my shelf for a few years.

Publisher: Bethany House
Genre: Christian Fiction, Westerns, Historical Fiction, Romance

My Review:
I put off At Love's Command for several years, even though I enjoy Karen Witemeyer's writing because it is a Western. If you follow me at all, you know that is not something I read much of.
