Ugh...no wonder you weren't able to find it...I changed Harvest to Hearts in my request post!!! Sorry 😐!
Finished and giving it a 3.5. First half... quite interesting. Second half...zzzzzz. Debbie B and a few others have pointed that out.
*** TMI/spoiler alert****
And it's a 2hr drive from Stockbridge to Boston, not the 4hrs in the book(unless The Turnpike is covered w frosting from Stockbridge to Boston! -James Taylor) Grrrr! Why did the author put me thru that agony w the leads taking multiple trips???? :)

Hi Joan - Sorry, which book did you choose?

Joan

It's been on my list for a while and I am looking forward to finally diving in.


The title is one of those "come and read me" ones and on the whole I very much enjoyed it. There were a few odd choices of words but it is definitely worth reading so thanks for the choice. I might see if I can squeeze a few my other options in before the new of the month.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did....
Laura Hile Marrying well for fun and profit
Cheers!"
Oh this was a lot of fun! And I'd never have thought but Sir Walter made some solid points!

Yeah!!! I hope to reread it soonish.

Awesome, I'm so glad you liked it!

You had some really good ones on your list. I added a couple to my TBR pile! LOL

Katie, that was and awesome choice. I am so glad I read it, finally. Thank you!
Finished my book! Emily Kate, that was so sweet and I can see why it makes Michelle H's holiday re-read pile. Not much Austenesque (as the blurb implies) as simply a cute Regency, but I can see how the author was influenced by Austen and Heyer. Thank you!
Thanks Sophia! Happy to hear it was lotsa fun! :)
Nothing beats a regency romance!
Wishing you happy reading :)

I really enjoyed that book too, Craftyhj. There were some spots in the book I wondered where Darcy was coming from but all is explained.
Now that you're done with your chosen book, I just HAVE to weigh in here and comment that I really hope you get a chance to read Crossed In Love very soon. I loved that one!
No rules against this is there Sophia?

Got my Feb challenge in - Like Father, Like Son: A Pride and Prejudice Novella
Joan, Thanks for the pick!
It was so different from what I expected and I enjoyed the storyline very much.
Not so enamored with the writing tho.

I'm glad! I'll have to read it now LOL That was one of the ones I added to my TBR pile.
Thank you Craftyhj for picking Austenland for me... that was an absolute fantastic romantic ride and perfect timing as it arrived the day before Valentine's Day and I consumed it all in one sitting, cherishing all the romance.. a perfect book.
Hope you're having a beautiful reading month too!
Happy reading!! :)

Okay, that's funny. I thought you chose it because you had read it and liked it! I hope you DO like it when you get around to reading it. :D

It made for a fun movie too!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is still in. my TBR but perhaps I should bump it up a bit higher based on your recommendation.
Definitely, it really was the most fun book! :)
Thanks heaps for recommending it,
Happy reading! :)

Thank you, Christina! I really enjoyed Mr Darcy's New Neighbour: A Pride and Prejudice Variation. It had a fun new character and the Darcy in it (after his bad first proposal) reminded me of my husband. I'd recommend it for anyone.
