A Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 A Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd, book one in her Daughter of Montague series, is a wildly creative twist on Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Turns out, Romeo and Juliet didn't die, they married, live happily in Verona, and have several children. The oldest, Rosie who is the Fair Daughter, is smart and fearless. She is a rarity in Verona, a young woman who views marriage with a contempt, and clever enough to avoid several matchmaking attempts by her family; as she wanted to stay unmarried. Against her wishes she is betrothed to a nasty man, Duke Leir Stephano, who is found murdered in the Montague's garden at their engagement ball; and Rosie as the prime suspect. Except Rosie is no ordinary fair maid: she is intelligent, independent, obstinate, and determined to find out who killed her betrothed if only to clear her name. It’s not so easy to prove her innocence and uncover the truth as more bodies pile up. This was a wonderful rom-com s

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 A Simple Marriage by Janna MacGregor, book two in her Millionaires of Mayfair series, is an amazing friends-to-lovers romance where he falls first and is the ultimate cinnamon roll hero with a hint of a love triangle as well as a brother's best friend trope where the lady has dreams that she refuses to let go; and the Marquess does not want to disappoint her. From beginning to conclusion, I was absolutely invested and couldn't reach the happily ever after quickly enough.   Lady Phillipa ‘Pippa’ Ardeerton has been designing and making her own gowns for years and sometimes makes them for friends. She’s dreamt of owning a dress shop so she can make and sell the creations that she designs. When a modiste shop comes up for sale, she wants it badly. Her brother Dane Ardeerton, the Duke of Pelham wants her to marry, have a family of her own, and not go into a trade, since she is the sister of a duke. Pelham will not give Pippa her trust money to buy the dress shop, s

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5   The Amish Quiltmaker's Uninvited Guest by Jennifer Beckstrand, book five in The Amish Quiltmaker series, is a clever, entertaining, emotional, humorous, and takes joy in its desperate romantic circumstances as other women who are not opposed to marriage appear, as the nature of obedience is examined. I loved Joanna and Menno’s heartwarming and sweet Amish romance with its perfect balance of humor, heartwarming love, real life issues, and faith.   Menno Eicher, a widower with two small daughters and farm in Idaho, is trying to follow his bishop’s directions and find a wife in a month; since his wife has been gone for a year.

Blaze: Ghost OPs by Lynn Raye Harris

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 I loved Blaze and Emma’s love story in Blaze by Lynn Raye Harris, book one in her Ghost Ops series, is the start kickoff to what promises to be a thrilling series, for these men and their women . This romantic suspense novel is the perfect combination of thrilling action and sizzling romance, that kept me hooked from start to finish. I enjoyed getting to know Blaze, Alex and the rest of the team. Six HOT members are given a very top secret and undercover mission for the president; they were specifically chosen because they have nothing to lose: no remaining family and no one waiting for them to come home to. They’re merely a band of former military brothers looking to put their well honed skills to good use; or are they. They relocate to Alabama and open One Shot a place for target practice, self defense classes but no one knows about the real reason they are there. They are tasked to investigate a nearby shipping company and a specific shipment it received.   Blaze &
