REVIEW OF :: Only an Earl Will Do (To Marry a Rogue #1)

by Tamara Gill

TITLE: Only an Earl Will Do

SERIES: To Marry a Rogue #1

ARC Received From: Tasty Book Tours

# OF STARS 5

Genre: HISTORICAL

Pages: 225

Overview:

The reigning queen of London society, Lady Elizabeth Worthingham, has her future set out for her. Marry well, and marry without love. An easy promise to make and one she owed her family after her near ruinous past that threatened them all. And the rakish scoundrel Henry Andrews, Earl of Muir who’s inability to act a gentleman when she needed one most would one day pay for his treachery.

Returning to England after three years abroad, Henry is determined to make the only woman who captured his heart his wife. But the icy reception he receives from Elizabeth is colder than his home in the Scottish highlands. As past hurts surface and deception runs as thick as blood, so too does a love that will overcome all obstacles, unless a nameless foe, determined with his own path, gets his way and their love never sees the light of day…

This book was great I couldn’t put it down till i was done. I was drawn in from the beginning. We meet a young woman in trouble. Her man doesn’t seem to care and her family finds a solution. When he finally comes back can they work things out? Can they find what they lost? Will she ever forgive him? What will happen when they learn the truth?

I received an ARC version of this book in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW OF :: Once a Soldier (Rogues Redeemed #1)

by Mary Jo Putney

TITLE: Once a Soldier

SERIES: Rogues Redeemed #1

ARC Received From: Tasty Book Tours

# OF STARS 4

Genre: HISTORICAL ROMANCE

Pages: 368

Overview:

Rogues Redeemed

As heir to a title and great wealth, Will Masterson should have stayed home and tended his responsibilities. Instead he went to war. Now, after perilous years fighting the French, he intends his current mission to be his last. But all his plans are forgotten when he arrives in the small mountain stronghold of San Gabriel and meets her.

Knowing herself to be too tall, strong, and unconventional to appeal to a man, Athena Markham has always gloried in her independence. But for the first time in her life, she finds a man who might be her match.

Two of a kind, too brave for their own good, Athena and Will vow to do whatever it takes to vanquish San Gabriel’s enemies. For neither will back down from death, and only together can they find happiness and a love deeper than any they’d dared imagine…

This book was good. We have a lot of historical pieces with twist. We see the destruction of a village. We see what they do to get back on there feet and the women who inspired them. We follow the Princess and her Adviser as they find love. Will they accept it or fight for it? Will the village be able to prevent another attack on them? What will happen next?

Maya Montgomery never should have looked past the friendship she already had. Now that she has, she can’t stop thinking about Jake and what he means to her. When a mysterious stranger from Jake’s past shows up at their door, she’s forced to admit that if she doesn’t take the risk of a lifetime, she’ll regret it for the rest of her days.

He’s been on the road a long time and has seen things no man should ever see, yet once he rediscovers the broody Jake and meets the inked and fierce Maya, they’re like a balm to his soul and he realizes what path his future should take.

Welcome Home, Cowboy (Hero’s Welcome #2)

by Annie Rains

TITLE: Welcome Home, Cowboy

SERIES: Hero’s Welcome #2

ARC Received From: Tasty Book Tours

# OF STARS 4

Genre: Romance

Pages: 261

Overview:

With its thriving military base, Seaside, North Carolina, is teeming with heroes of all stripes. But, as the Hero’s Welcome series from Annie Rains continues, it takes a cowboy to rescue the town’s newest resident from heartache.

After a bad breakup leaves Julie Chandler completely devastated, she comes to Seaside seeking a fresh start. A talented, compassionate yoga teacher, she has developed a program to help alleviate the effects of PTSD, but getting a bunch of bullheaded Marines into downward facing dog might be impossible. So Julie’s shocked when one of her first students dives in headfirst—and almost tempts her to take down her walls with his easy smile and electrifying touch.

Ever since Texas cowboy turned Marine pilot Lawson Phillips lost a crew member in a helicopter accident, he hasn’t been able to fly. When a psychologist orders him to attend, of all things, a yoga class, Lawson’s outraged—until he finds out Julie is the instructor. She’s beautiful, graceful, and completely guarded when it comes to his advances, but he’s determined to find out what makes her tick. Because underneath Julie’s hard shell is a woman Lawson knows he could fall for—and he’s not ready for the ride to end.

Reviewed by Tammy:

This book was good but a bit slow. We follow a Marine suffering with PTSD and trying to get hid life back together. He is told to take yoga and thinks its a joke. Will he realize the benefits? Will he find or lose the women for him? Will he fight or lose the career he wants? Will the girl let him go or fight for him? Will they each learn to forgive?

Not my usual cup of tea with this book but was still a pretty interesting read. For a first book within a series this should be a good. When your husband dies and all the sudden you learn things about him that you never thought possible. You inherit first a great mansion but with it your husbands magical powers and abilities. Then you learn of the dangers he was in. Yes just read the book.
