My Review:

Overall, I enjoyed The Kiss of a Stranger. Because I am reading the books in the recommended reading order, I had already been introduced to several people in the story before beginning this one. I do think that helped to set the stage and enhance my enjoyment of this story.

TTT-One Word Reviews

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: One word reviews for the last ten books I read (a throwback to 2022). This sounds fun, but possibly hard, LOL! Some of my words/descriptions might sound mean, and that is not my intention. My intention is to always be honest with my reviews. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

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. 

October Reading Wrap Up 2026

October was busy, especially with moving, but I feel like I was still able to read a lot. It was a better reading month than the last few months have been, as far as ratings/enjoyment goes. I finished 20 books, and I had  two 2-star reads, so only 18 will be highlighted here.  Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

Stacking the Shelves #224 Sunday Post #221 Sunday Salon #215

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? This week felt long, even though it really shouldn't have. We have had gorgeous fall weather during the day (the mornings are cold!). We are getting closer to having everything settled in the house. I had an ENT appointment yesterday (Friday) and the doctor ordered some testing to see if we can figure out why after 6 weeks the congestion still has not cleared up. A Spectrum representative is coming this afternoon to fix our intermittent internet issues (they have been soooo obnoxious), and we have church tonight. Weather permitting my husband and I will hike in the morning. Hopefully we will all adjust to the time change quickly. What are your plans for the weekend?
