I cannot decide which of these stories I liked the least. In the first story we are supposed to believe that he did not know for five years that she was still alive. And then he was too stupid to figure out that he had sent his message by the very man who had destroyed her and he wasn't suspicious until his mother told him. In the second story the hero is an ass. Even though he knows she is being set up by her evil cousin he proceeds to believe she has kissed the evil cousin, The hero.becomes very unkind and very jealous which makes me believe that their marriage is going to be a very abusive one.

Both of these stories were great! My Lady Domino was a little predictable but still very enjoyable. It kind of had a Cinderella feel to it at first. It was a little weird to me how the author pulled in Jane Austen as one of her characters. It was only one tiny part. I tried not to think too much on that.

I think I loved A Commercial Enterprise so much because I loved the heroine so much. She had a great personality and was so easy to love.

I'm interested for someone else to read these books so we can discuss them. It seemed to me like the author resolved both stories the same way. I won't say any more so as not to ruin anything. I'd like to read more from Sandra Heath to see if she can write a variety of story plots or if they all start to sound alike.
