Weekly Reading Thoughts (SP/IMWAYR?)

Make Me Love You by Johanna Lindsey

Dominic Wolfe and Robert Whitworth have had three duels and the Prince Regent has had enough. He orders the Whitworth's to send their daughter Brooke North to marry Dominic "The Wolf" to stop the dispute with serious consequences if either family refuses.  Both Robert and Wolf expect the other to refuse and forfeit their land and titles. Brooke is happy to escape her family and will do what it takes to stay at Wolf's home. I liked Brooke's determination to make a better life for herself even though all choice was taken away. Wolf grew on me as he began to see that Brooke was nothing like her brother. 

Hadrian by Grace Burrowes (#12)

Hadrian and Avis have been friends since childhood.  Avis experienced a horrific attack as a young girl and Hadrian helped her through it before he left to serve in the Church.  He has now left the church to return home and take over running the family estate for his brother Harold. When Hadrian realizes how much Avis has given up living he sets out to change things. The local gossip mill still talks about the incident as if it happened yesterday and becomes threatening to Avis as well as Hadrian.. Lady Avis' steward Fen helps Hadrian get to the bottom of what is happening in order to help Avis get her HEA.  Another great read from this author.

Kiss and Tell by Suzanne Brockman

A classic by one of my favorite authors. Leila is home visiting in Florida and attends a New Year's Eve costume party. She is kissed by a "Ninja", is swept off her feet and wants to know his identity. Marshall is that ninja, the last person Leila would ever expect may be in love with her as he is her brother's best friend and her tormentor when she was young. They have to get over their habit of bickering, insults and snarkiness (which takes a bit too long) to find each other. Read by Susan Boyce.

The Second Girl by David Swinson

Our transition into Fall has been beautiful.  We are experiencing warmer than normal temperatures with mild weather predicted for the next week.  The outdoor fall art/craft fairs have been enjoyable to attend.
