Listen to Me by Kristen Proby is $1.99! Both Sarah and I picked it as part of a previous April’s Hide Your Wallet post. Readers recommend this if you want something sexy, but easy on the angst. However, some expressed difficulty maintaining their interest. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.
When the Marquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke is $2.99! This is the first book in the An American Heiress in London series, which features – you guessed it – an American heiress in London. A few reviews on Goodreads mentioned that the chemistry between the characters didn’t seem believable, while others loved the vulnerability of the hero and heroine.
The Trouble with True Love by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! Carrie read this historical romance and gave it a B grade:
I would consider this to be a almost perfect (but not quite, hence the B grade) comfort read. Good food, good clothes, lovely settings, lovely characters, lots and lots of feminism – that’s my jam!
The Trouble With True Love is a historical romance that combines the ‘rake meets wallflower’ plot device with the ‘pretend dating’ plot device and the ‘advice columnist gets characters into trouble’ plot device. There’s nothing new here but it’s all quite delightful due to excellent characterization and use of language. Clara is a newcomer to Society and is shy. All her life she’s been overshadowed by her older sister (they mutually adore each other – … Continue reading The Trouble With True Love by Laura Lee Guhrke
The Truth About Love and Dukes by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! This is the first book in the Dear Lady Truelove series and the heroine runs an advice column. Readers seem divided on the heroine. Some found her independent and confident, while others found her too brash for their liking. Have you read this one?
No Mistress of Mine is the fourth book in the An American Heiress in London series and is second-chance-at-love catnip with competence porn sprinkles on top. It isn’t necessary to read the other books in the series in order to follow and enjoy this one. And, unusually, this book takes place in 1892 – shout-out to late Victorian industry! Our stars, Denys (a British lord) and Lola (an American cancan/music hall star) have quite the … Continue reading No Mistress of Mine by Laura Lee Guhrke
Oh, Bitchery, I hang my head in shame and consternation. I promised to read and review No Mistress of Mine several months ago, and I embraced the task with enthusiasm. I read it and another book in one week and sat down and wrote an effusive review of the first book. And then I dallied. And dithered. I went on to read and listen to several other books, and every few days my glance would … Continue reading No Mistress of Mine by Laura Lee Guhrke
Four Weddings and a Sixpence is super comforting. It’s a collection of four novellas, all Regency romances, all remarkably angst-free. Five minutes after reading each story I had already forgotten all about it, but I remembered my enjoyment while reading it. The novellas are held together by a framing story written by Julia Quinn. In 1817, four girls who are attending Madame Rochambeaux’s Gentle School for Girls find a sixpence in the mattress. The girls … Continue reading Four Weddings and a Sixpence by Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee Guhrke, and Stefanie Sloane
