About the author
Diana Hamilton
325 books74 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.
Diana Hamilton was born in a English town. Wanting to be a country child, her imagination came into play at an early age, transforming a neighbor’s tree into a forest, a hole in a stone wall into a gingerbread house, a gas puddle into a fairyland, complete with mountains, lakes and flower meadows. She loathed housework but made to do her share, to lessen the boredom, she told herself stories, in a very loud voice, featuring princesses and flower gardens, discovering that telling herself stories was almost as good as reading them in a book.
She loathed school with an equal passion and got through it by pretending to be somewhere else. Even so she left grammar school with respectable grades... And was sent to art college when she wanted to study to be a vet. This was nowhere as bad as it had seemed because it was there, at age 18, she first saw Peter. He had returned from two years’ active service in Korea to resume his studies, and Diana immediately fell in love with him.
Gaining a degree in advertising copywriting, Diana worked as a copywriter and married Peter. They moved to a remote part of Wales after the birth of their second child, Paul, when their daughter, Rebecca, was three years old. There, Diana enjoyed pony trekking and walking in the mountains; and her third child, Andrew, was born. Itchy feet brought them back to England to the beautiful county of Shropshire four years later and they have been there ever since, gradually restoring the rambling Elizabethan manor that Diana gave her heart to on sight, creating a garden out of a wilderness of nettles, brambles and old bedsteads.
In the mid-'70s Diana took up her pen again to write stories to read to her three children at bedtime. These were never offered for publication but the bug had bitten. Over the next 10 years she combined writing over 30 novels, published by Robert Hale of London, with bringing up her children, gardening and cooking for the restaurant of a local inn—a wonderful excuse to avoid the dreaded housework! In 1987 Diana realized her dearest ambition—the publication of her first Mills & Boon romance, Song in a Strange Land. She had come home. And that feeling persists to this day as, around 30 Harlequin/Mills & Boon romantic novels late, she was still in love with the genre.
Sadly, Diana Hamilton passed away on May 3, 2009, at her home in Shropshire, surrounded by her family. She will be sorely missed by her fans and everyone at Mills & Boon/Harlequin

I really enjoyed this one.
The h, Rosie, is looking for her dad. So she gets a job cleaning windows at her unknown father's house and meets the H, Sebastian, Rosie's dad's business partner.
They are instantly attracted and have major lurve club events and then she tells him who she is and he has a meltdown. Standard HP drama ensues.
She meets her dad finally and then there is a really sweet HEA.
I liked this book cause of Rosie, she is totally sweet and knows she is kinda unassertive but she calls it her "ditheryness" and she calls the H "ratty" when he does stuff she doesn't like.
She has opinions tho and she is pretty funny in the way she expresses them. A really fluffy book and the pink sparklies were great., so this is a very nice escapist HP outing.

A Cinderella story.
Heroine’s single mother has just died of cancer. Heroine wants to look up her married lord of the manor father, so she accepts a cleaning job at his estate. Turns out he’s not there. He’s in Spain with his in-laws and his new golddigger fiancé. His wife (hero’s aunt) died a few years before and he had lost interest in life.
Heroine is disappointed not to meet her father, but she meets the hero, his nephew by marriage who spent his summers at the estate and feels protective of his uncle. He wants to oversee the cleaning and then will do his best to break up the golddigger’s relationship with his uncle.
But he meets the heroine and it’s love at first sight for them both. They have unprotected sex. He quickly decides heroine must spend a least a month with him so they know if she’s pregnant or not. And he’s hired a cleaning service, so she can come to London and then Spain with him.
He buys her clothes. She has a makeover. They have some misunderstandings and tiffs. He doesn’t believe her at first about his uncle being her father, but she has proof and he’s sorry for doubting her.
Once in Spain, the golddigger reveals her golddigger ways. Her father takes one look at her and knows she’s her mother’s daughter. It’s all over except for one last misunderstanding when the golddigger is paid off.
This is bog-standard HP. No new ground is covered, but if the long-lost parent trope is one you like and want a besotted hero and sweet heroine thrown into the mix, this story will satisfy.

Sedate...

Sebastian Garcia is shaken by the overwhelming attraction he feels for Rosie Lambert. Maybe it's because she seems innocent and trustworthy, so unlike the many fortune hunters who've pursued him before? Soon Sebastian makes Rosie his woman. So how can Rosie tell him the real reason for her sudden appearance in his life, when it could destroy his faith in her? And she may be pregnant with his child....

Not a particularly unique story line but still enjoyed

This was one seriously pessimistic heroine. The H was pretty sweet though.

It’s a sweet, mellow story. The h has never known her biological father. The h’s biological father turns out to be the H’s godfather. She is a lovely woman and he is not cruel.

Beautiful.
Typical M&B romance. Rosie took the job at Troone Manor looking for her father, I stead she fi day the love of her life. I really enjoyed the journey Rosie went on in search of her happy ever after.

Meski banyak miscommunication khas cerita romance, tapi tetap menarik dan ringan . Selain itu saya menyukai kisah yang ditulis dari 2 PoV seperti ini.
Meski sayangnya ada beberapa hal yang tampak tidak begitu dijelaskan.

"Masih kuat baca kan sampai akhir?"
Badan saya bilang, "Masih."
Otak berteriak, "Enggak! Jauhin bacaan begini dari saya!"
Tapi batin merasa sayang sama duit yang udah dipakai buat beli novel ini.
