The Rancher’s Twins by Carol Ross- Review

September 13, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Have you had a chance to read any books in the Harlequin Heartwarming line? They are great clean romance reads. I’ve been introduced to several new authors (a few of whom are banding together to write a series about five brothers who have gone their separate ways but all end up returning to their childhood home in Montana.) Carol Ross kicks off the series with The Rancher’s Twins.

IN MY OPINION…

Well, after finishing the first book in the Return of the Blackwell Brothers, I’m ready to binge read them all. Unfortunately, I can’t fit them all into my schedule right now—probably works out because they aren’t all out yet, anyway.

So instead of my binge read, let’s talk about Carol Ross’s contribution. The Rancher’s Twins sets readers up for what’s coming well. We’re introduced to the town, the family ranch, and a few people I’m sure will be making appearances in future books.

A Pirate at Pembroke by Danielle Thorne – Review

June 28, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

Y’all know me. I love Regency. Even though I’m pretty sure I would have been one of the servants and working at the balls rather than attending them, I enjoy living vicariously through the characters who do meet their prince (or duke or viscount) in the social setting of the ton. So, of course, when an opportunity to review A Pirate at Pembroke by Danielle Thorne came along, I was on it.

In My Opinion…

It took me a little while to figure out why I was struggling with this story at first and then it hit me. It never felt like we got into Sophie’s deep point of view. Instead, this story often read like a narrative. Which is fine when the story is conducive to it.

About the Book

Title: A Loyal Heart

Author: Jody Hedlund

Genre: Adult medieval romance

Release Date: March 6, 2018

He’s taken her as his prisoner. But she’s holding his heart captive. In gaining their freedom, will they lose what matters most?

When Lady Olivia’s castle is besieged, she and her sister are taken captive and held for ransom by her father’s enemy, Lord Pitt. Loyalty to family means everything to Olivia. She’ll save her sister at any cost and do whatever her father asks—even if that means obeying his order to steal a sacred relic from her captor.

As Lord Pitt’s commander, Sir Aldric is in charge of the beautiful but feisty new prisoner. He has his hands full attempting to keep Lady Olivia out of trouble. When Lord Pitt throws her in the dungeon and threatens to hang her for stealing, Aldric conceives a plot to save Olivia’s life—betrothal to him.

Can Olivia give up the prestigious match her father has arranged with a wealthy marquess in order to marry a lowly knight like Aldric? And can Aldric move beyond his past mistakes to embrace love again? When loyalties are tested, they’re thrust into danger that could cost them their love and their lives.
