 The Duke Meets His Match

A Regency Romance

Written by: Karen Tuft

The Duke Meets His Match takes Pride and Prejudice and gives it a run for its money. From initial impressions of harpy and His Loftiness to falling in love, this story has everything. Fairy godmothers, intervening princes, conniving women, and gossipy matrons. The characters stay true to their inner selves while finding an ally in each other. Both felt their days for marriage were over when an unexpected circumstances threw them together. 

I loved how this story had a great plotline and conflict that did not come from a terrible misunderstanding or lack of communication- instead the conflict was outside influences pushing against the characters and they were able to work together to find a solution, falling in love in the process.  I truly enjoyed reading this regency romance.

Perfect Match

Perfect Match Gulf Coast Firefighters Written by: Susan Oloier This sweet romance was a pleasant read. With two characters who are looking for something more satisfying in life and struggling to find it, they relate to most of the population. As neighbors who find attraction despite everything about the situation being wrong, they push past their insecurities and eventually find their way to love. Susan Oloier created realistic characters with faults and struggles. Both of them have great personalities and the flaws enhance the story. The world they live in is comfortable and real. This story could be any of the hallmark stories just without a Christmas setting.

  Home on the Harbor Cliffside Point: Book 4 Written by: Ellen Joy The fourth book in this series has all of the characters come back with big appearances. While this may hold Harper's love story, it also holds the love story of the whole family (blood and chosen)- the love story of how these characters found each other and rely on each other. While the romance is sweet, the greater meaning comes from how these women are light to each other and can rely on each other. Reading about their struggles and will to survive makes me want to reach out to those around me so they know I have their backs and love them.  Overall- I wish I could have seen more of Harper's love story. There is so much to her back story and understanding who she is as a person that I felt a little gypped on seeing her happily ever after. To seeing the characters fall in love after they came around to enjoying each other's company. Maybe we will see more of that in the next book!

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
