New Books, Old Books, Read Books!
Another Beauty and the Beast retelling has found it’s way to my bookshelf. I’m a sucker for this type of book, but Bella and the Beast is an excellent addition to the collection. Bella and Miles are an engaging take on the fish out of water heroine and disfigured hero coming together to find love.

It’s been years since I read this book. With a new entry in the series on the shelf, I felt that it was an excellent time to start re-reading the series. This book starts the series out with a howl and introduces a great protagonist.

Juwell is an outcast that is ignored by his family and failed out of the army. Eunice feels like an outcast and unable to live up to the expectations of her family and people. This story is as much about accepting ourselves and others as it is a love story.

Wyatt was the hardest of the Montana Marshalls books for me to get through. It’s a roller coaster ride of hockey, fight scenes, anxious hospital rooms, and politics in addition to relationship ups and downs.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, primarily because it is the one where the couple’s love doesn’t happen at first sight. I am always interested in reading an author’s take on the classic tale and how they see the couple coming together.

Reviving the Commander is a beautiful story about love after loss and hope in whatever circumstances you find yourself.

If you are looking for a romance starring a couple past their “prime” and a clean read, this book is for you.

Most Regency-era novels take place in England, so it is a refreshing change of pace for this book to be set on the continent. The tiny country of San Gabriel gives an up-close view of the devastation of the Peninsular Wars. A French general, Baudin, retreating through the country left a large swath of destruction in his wake and took the king and crown prince as prisoners. This devastation makes a magnificent backdrop for Will Masterson and Athena Markham’s growing relationship.

If you are looking for a fluffy, funny, feel-good romance, this book is well worth your time.

A good plot is not enough to save a book where I only like one character. I hope it gets better in the next two books, but I’m not holding my breath.
