Author: Kerryn Reid
Genre: Regency Romance
Review Rating: Five Stars
Reviewer: Linda Hays-Gibbs
Daring and Delicious
Deborah Moore or Mrs. Moore is a widow with her son, Julian living in in a small cottage in abject poverty. Her world revolves around her son.
Her son goes with her servant on an errand and he gets lost in the dead of winter. Deborah searches for him till she is a wreck but can't find the five year old anywhere. She is desperate and runs to the Inn to beg the men to search for him. Few want to go into the horrible cold weather but some did volunteer. Evan Haverfield saw the woman's desperation and decided to help her. He was drawn by her facial expressions and desperate dignity.
They become a local item of gossip after Evan finds the boy and helps Mrs. Moore to nurse him back to health. Evan falls more and more in love with her. He wants her but fights his attraction until he asks her to marry him. She refuses him.
This is an absolute stunning Regency. I was caught in the first few pages and couldn't sleep till I finished it. I was positive I knew what would happen several times but that was not the case. The author weaves a delightfully suspenseful tale that kept me on the edge of my seat. You felt for the characters, all of them not just the heroine. It was such a surprise.
I gave this book Five Stars and wanted more. I love, absolutely love Regency and thought I knew all the tales by heart but this one is different. It makes you feel so much for all the characters. I recommend it cause I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Title:A Surfeit of Suitors
Author: Vonnie Hughes
Genre: Historical Romance.
Review Rating: Four Stars
Reviewer: Linda Hays-Gibbs
Caroline Crichton is engaged to Toby Wainwright and discovers that she does not want to marry him. He is full of secrets and he treats her like an idiot when he is the idiot. They are to go to his country estate of Greystones and she is to get to know her in-laws. He sends word right before she is to leave that he will meet her there later.
She has to take her sister's maid, Martha and go by herself. On the way there she is in a carriage accident and set upon by ruffians.
Thank goodness Caroline is rescued by Fort Mathieson and his friend. Caroline finds Fort kind and brave. She noticed him before now but thought he did not admire her.
Fort is actually very enamored by Caroline.
I will give no spoilers but I will say this is a sweet romance.
I thought that Caroline was a kind unassuming child that was in over her head to start but somehow musters the courage to sort out her rather complicated life. Fort was an unassuming hero type but a bit too shy. He has injuries from the war and is afraid he has nothing to offer.
It was a nice story of the times in historical England and held to the history.
I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone of similar tastes. It will satisfy for a graceful read with characters solving mysteries while sorting out their lives. I gave it four stars as I really wanted more.
It left me too quickly. Enchantingly readable though.

Man said it's all about what God can do for you?
No! Its NOT! It's about our Love, devotion and the sacrifice of our lives in devotion on His altar! It is about what we offer to God! We give worship to Him His life of love is the Way, the Truth, His message and His life and He loves us! We must Sacrifice make the sacrifice of our lives submitted in Righteousness and in love and devotion to His plan, not our way but His Way, not our Truth but His Truth! & of our trying with all our hearts to live as righteous a life as possible because we love Him confessing our sins and devoting our lives to the Truth and submission to His Life of sinless living We are not perfect, won't be, but we are supposed to try for perfection! We won't make it, but we try because of the love for Him!
Sure God can do wonderful things for us but that's not what it's about! It's about our sacrifice to His altar of all we are; All we can ever be, and God help us what we were!
Living water is not literal water it's the Holy Spirit! God help us the preachers are wrong! He said he(this preacher on tv) don't understand it! My point here is; then why are you preaching? You are preaching wrong! You don't preach unless you are called of God; if he wasn't called he should not preach; especially lies or the wrong message!
