I’m gonna have to lay down I work tonight and the next few days. I started it last night and some this morning and then here this afternoon. Yes it’s really cute. There was one I think Kate told me about and I read where the h got caught on a horse and paraded on a horse naked. It wasn’t intentional I forget the whole scene but remember it was an awkward moment like this one. I think we all read it at one point. The h had some bad meat like someone was trying to kill her.

I read it already and rated it 5 stars. But thank you for the offer.
Mod
Just said my prayers and making one last check here. Good night to all, stay safe.
Thank you Sheila. Your so sweet and considerate. My son is 99% sure he is following through with his reversal. Be safe to all of you too
That is good to hear, but I will continue to pray, just the same.
Mod
Ok Caron I have seen that book you’re referring to before I’d like to try

You mean All Hallow's Eve, the P&P variation? I'll send it any time you're ready. I can't remember how we loan books, though. Do I need to have your kindle email address or just your regular one? I'm thinking the regular one. I have your gmail address.
Thank you all for the prayers. Into the highlands I go!
Ok let me finish my Scott’s and we’ll figure it out.

Hey, EB. I don't know what happened. I wasn't able to read for a couple of days, and by the time I finally got some time I was no longer in the Highland mood. But, I still hadn't finished my Sands book. So, I decided to read a couple of Regency novella's to get the reading juices flowing again. It worked, so now I'm moving forward with Sands An English Bride in Scotland. I actually managed to get through a few pages last night. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it tonight. Not sure where my mood will take me next.
Caron, thank you for your work compiling these lists. Have a good day. Stay safe.
Mod
Hey ladies. I snagged the Carla Kelly book and one two others. I am at the point where the sister comes to the gate and poor Ross is on conscious. This the angsty part of the book. I am making applesauce at my moms tomorrow. My niece and the new hubby are joining first year so it’s gonna be a busy day. Maybe if I’m not too tuckered out I may read some at this point of the book I’ll have to take breaks. Ok take care guys. Caron your a handy friend to have around with these list. Thank you good night
Mod
Hi EB! Oh my, I don't know why I didn't get an alert regarding these messages! And I usually get alerts EVERYWHERE! I mean via my Goodreads app on my phone, my kindle, AND via email. I'm just seeing it now because I decided to post a list today.
Anyway, I see that you've been up to your usual Super Woman stunts. LOL I finally finished with Ross and Annabel a couple of days ago. I loved it as much as I did the first time I read it. Yes the sister was a mess; I almost felt sorry for her because it was her parents fault she was so horrible. On one hand the spoilt her rotten, but on the other they constantly put her down comparing her to Annabel. How they could have done that I don't know, seeing as they knew NOTHING about Annabel. What horrible parents. Ross is a dream hero!! Just love him to death. That time when Annabel snuck out in the trunk and he discovered she was missing. His men told him that the trunk had dresses that was being sent to the seamstress who had stayed home sick that day. And Ross says to his men, "and you think your lady, my sweet Annabel would send work to the woman while she's sick?...I just love the way he loves her. Sigh.
Since then I've moved back to good old Regency England. I read a couple of unpopular Margaret Bennet novels. Finished her The Poor Relation, and now I'm reading The Hopeless Hoyden. Both of those books overall got poor reviews on Amazon, yet I loved them both. They are both re-reads for me. And the funny thing is I really can't say that anything the other reviewers said about them is wrong. They need editing, and the love came about rather out of the blue. Yet still, I love the author's style of writing. Anyhoo, I'm about to post a list. Chat later!

This is an American novel. A mail order bride. H has been in love with h's identical twin sister for years. He moved away then wrote to the sister to propose. Sister does not want to marry the H, so the heroine, who has loved the H for years, goes in her stead. From what I read it does not seem that she tried to trick the hero.

This is a box set of three books. Two are post civil war set in Texas. The other one is a western.

This is a wagon train story with religious undertones. FYI reviews are positive but a couple do mention there are a lot of grammatical errors.

Unusual highland romance. Heroine was blinded in a fire that killed her parents (her father was laird). The fire was due to treachery. She went into hiding and now works in a tavern. Hero (laird of his clan) is scarred from an explosion that killed his parents and his fiancee. They have an unknown shared past that comes back to haunt them. Anybody wanna guess that shared past has anything to do with the fire/explosion? FYI it's over 500 pages. Ah just read a review that explains....the h and H were engaged, but didn't know each other. The heroine is the hero's fiancee that supposedly died in the fire. Apparently the hero's parents were visiting at the heroine's castle when this explosion occurred. Needless to say there is intrigue in that someone is trying to kill the h.

OK that's it for today, ladies. I hope you each find something to tempt you. Have a great day!
Thank you for this list. Take care. Stay safe.
The last highland read sounds interesting but 500 pages that’s a long book
Mod
I finished the Margaret Bennett book I was reading earlier today, The Hopeless Hoyden. Then I read a quick ninety page novella, and now I just started another Regency quick read. I'm feeling like I need to go back to the highlands though. Maybe after I finish this short story. It's only about eighty pages.
Lol Caron you are like speeding through these stories. I am reading undressing Darcy. It’s a modern based book about a man trying to save his family home in England. It’s fell in disrepair and will cost millions to restore to its former glory. The H who portrays Darcy wrote a book entitled my year as me Darcy and is now working with our h (his pr rep) to make public appearances and do signings amongst the unveiling. The h is taken In by his good looks and his estate. She also has this aunt who has dementia and has pending test results for olseimers. The aunt is my type person bc she has known this man for years while visiting England. The aunt is trying to play matchmaker as she basically raised her niece Vanessa. It’s really cute.
Hey RF when I finish with Darcy I’ll head back to the highlands see ya soon
Mod
Wow! These P&P variations exist in every time period. lol
The book I read yesterday was only about ninety pages. The Mistletoe Mistress. Such a cute story!!! It's about a duke— by default as he likes to say since he inherited the title after his brother died—he's on his way home for Christmas and knows that his mother will have lined up a bevy of debs for him as possible brides. He wants nothing to do with so is dreading the holidays. The heroine's father died a few weeks before so now she's all alone in the world. She's trying to head to her old nurse's home, but runs out of money so the coach driver abandons her at an inn. The hero sees her sitting on her trunk outside in the snow and invites her in to have something to eat. Then he comes up with the crazy idea for her to pretend to be his fiancee. He is the sweetest hero. The two literally fall in love in like a couple of days, but I liked the way the author did it. His mother is a piece of work! OMG she easily wins coldest mother of the century award. As the hero says, a Siberian bear is warmer than she is. Anyway, that was a nice quick easy read.
Then I started The Governess Who Captured His Heart. That's only about eighty pages. I haven't finished it as yet, but I really needed to go back to the Highlands so I started The Highlander's Accidental Bride which is a re-read for me. I gave it five stars the first time I read it.
Mod
😂😂😂
Wow girl you’ve been busy. They sound like hors de overs until the main course lol
Mod
😂😁😁😂 Yes, but in this case, I'm eating my appetizer AND the main course at the same time. LOL
I knew we were friends for a reason. You got skills girl. My Darcy undressing convention is next to a coma con convention. It’s hilarious this author discribing obiwan eating a cake pop and Thor sipping on an iced coffee. So funny
Oh my goodness ladies this book has me so torn. We have this Darcy poser he is true to the whole Darcy image. He is sweet and thoughtful and seems like every woman’s fantasy. But there is another H in this book and he too shares an interest in our h. What makes him more interesting is he has a brief history with Vanessa. He also has been striking me as more of the Darcy type. He does wear coat tales he is a jack sparrow twin. I don’t know why but me darcy(Julian) is a dream but he seems more like he’s playing a role. He has no faults or so it seems but he doesn’t show a fire side in fact he is almost too perfect. Now this pirate(Chase) has spirit and sadly Vanessa just broke his heart a bit. She is obsessed with posting updates and such and Julian is Darcy ready with proper manners and perfectly tied cravet and she is zooming when she sees something out of the corner of her eye. Chase has witnessed the whole thing and has shown his fire side with a proper sit down so to speak. I had to share bc I am rooting for Chase aka Jack Sparrow.

Undressing mr. Darcy by Karen Doornebos

Elizabeth wrote: "Undressing mr. Darcy by Karen Doornebos"OK, I did read that back in 2015 and gave it 4 stars. I have read so many hundreds of books since then that I didn't remember it. I do remember the title just didn't remember if I read it.
Caron, I’m wondering if it’s going to replicate Darcy vs. Wickham. Wickham was the con artist and smooth talker a too good to be true golden boy. This is how Julian is sort of appearing. Than you have Chase. He is charming, witty and a flirt but in a down to earth sort of way. It comes across in a natural way where as Julian he is well read in Austen in the history of British attire. He quotes Austen and he eats up the attention from the ladies. This was not Darcy. He hated large crowds and women fawning all over him. This guy he doesn’t miss a beat he knows how to work a crowd to get the right response just like Wickham. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing I think. Chase seems genuine in his interest and makes our h laugh. She admits she hadn’t remember laughing so much as she did while sparring off with our pirate friend and yet she is getting sucked into this false image I fear Julian is hiding behind. Manipulating our poor Vanessa and slowly pulling her in.
Sheila, just read your review it was very well written. I just wrote Caron going in I’m thinking what you did. A wickham vs Darcy scenario. Now I guess I have rethink or tag along until it’s revealed because your review hints of a different turn than I was thinking. I at one point wondered if they were the same person bc they were never appearing at the same time. Hmmm. Ok thank you you for your opinion on the book you’ve given this girl more ideas to toss around.
Mod
Caron I think you are resembling an addict that fell off the wagon. Lmbo. You have went so long without you’re grasping out for quick fixes and variety. Lol. The book does but while it is funny and suspenseful I agree with Sheila. This girl has put her job in front of all else and now two guys are vying for her affection and she is back and forth depending on which one she’s with. She has only shared fantasies and kisses so far but I do miss her focus on one true love. Sigh
Mod
🤣🤣🤣 You're right. I am like a junky. lol It's so sad. Now I've started yet another book. This is getting ridiculous. It's Married By Midnight. It's another short one, about 150 pages, I think. I've read it before. Sigh. And I still have yet to finish my highland romance AND that other short regency one. Smh
How long is your book, and how far along are you in it? I know what you mean, it would be nice if she settles on one for a good portion of the story.
I am half way through. Het do you remember that seal book. Hot team with that psycho stalker?i may have to check that one out wasn’t that Kayla Cross?
Btw I have been just as bad. In between these books I have read some of my old p&p favorites a Catherine Anderson there lol
Mod
Hi EB! Yes, we read Marked. That was an awesome book! Please stop reminding me of the amazing contemporary books I've read. I cannot add another book to the repertoire I'm reading. 😂😂😂 FYI I have the next book in that series, Targeted in case you'd like to borrow it. And I have another book of hers from another series, Singed.
I've been re-reading a lot of old favorites too. I think since I haven't read in such a long time I jumping around from one favorite to another and sprinkling the occasional new book here and there. BTW I cleaned out a ton of books from my Kindle. I had over two thousand and now I'm down to just over 800! I deleted anything with overall low ratings, plus any book with a storyline that I realistically don't think I'd read. I also found a bunch of books I'd already read; some of them I hated! I have no idea why I didn't delete them when I finished. Anyway, I of course kept some favorites. 😁😁😁
Honey I think I bought a boxed set and have multiple ones too. Lol. I am committed to this book but the h has disappointed me. I’m at 68% so I need to finish but it is agonizing. I think my gut was right with Darcy he kept telling her how he wanted her blah blah blah and in a weak moment they had sex in a bathroom on the 95th floor. She was committed to his enjoyment but he was only in it to win it. She woke up the next day he leaves her this vague bogus note and left for England. She has spent a week looking for some sign that it is meant to be and has took off to England in pursuit but hasn’t had the chance to surprise him. What’s worse is Chase has sent her these big beautiful cabbage roses and a card asking her he was worried. She was in a car accident after Julian left and has never called or anything. I hate that the author had her have sex with him and I hate that the author chose her to be a wham bam thank you maam. Then a door mat by jumping the pond to chase after him. I like my couple to be so crazy for the other they couldn’t think of being with another. Poor chase volunteers to play jack sparrow for sick kids birthday parties and is so considerate to her feelings and wellbeing and she’s just oblivious. Ugh
