Part 2
And continuing on.....
I really got a kick out of this cute opposite attracts book. They both work at the same radio station. Tate Grayson is the sports guy and riffs on all things sports during his time slot and Noelle Butler is a tied up and buttoned down Physiologist who give advice on love and they couldn’t be more opposite and each get on each others nerves. When he calls her during her show and then she calls him during his, their bosses think it would be a great idea for them to work together as they seem to have some kind of on air chemistry. Of course these two start to rub against each other in a good way soon. This book just worked for me and for sure I’m going to try some of this authors other books
Grade: B+
I’ll be honest, I was crossing my fingers I would like
this book. I happened to be at a
conference a couple of years ago that the author also attended. I sat in on a couple of panels she was at and
I was so impressed by her. I started
another one by her and couldn’t get into it at all. But when I started reading this book I
figured out why. I started reading the 3rd
book in the series and that’s why I found things so confusing. But starting at book1 made all the
difference.
This book takes place during the Civil War and Elle
Burns is a former slave whose family was given their freedom. She is now working as a spy helping the
north. She has an eidetic memory and is
working undercover as a slave in the home of a southern politician and trying
to learn anything she can to help the north.
Her contact is Malcom McCall, a white undercover agent who, while not
even close to the same kind of experiences as slaves, did have his family land
stolen and family destroyed in Scotland.
Elle is such an amazing heroine, she ranks right up
there in my top five heroines of all time.
She is, well, it, as far as heroines go.
She’s brave, strong, courageous, intelligent, resourceful – just
everything. Malcom isn’t too shabby
either and what I love about him is he knows what a rare and precious person
she is. I’m trying to keep these reviews
fairly short and it’s so difficult to do that with this book it’s that
good. But I now have all of the Loyal
League series as well as another one of her books and I’m so looking forward to
reading them. This book is romance at
its finest and then some.
Grade: A+
I picked this one out as I’d read so many new to me
authors, I was ready to read an author I’d read before by this time and since I
love this author’s works, this is the one I chose. I’ve read it before but when I started it
again, I didn’t remember much of it at all.
Elizabeth and Tristan have both suffered the death of
their loved one and in Tristan’s case it was even worse. Elizabeth left town to try and deal with her
loss. But she’s back now and her neighbor Tristan is despised by most of the
town as he’s rude, unkempt and just plain mean.
But the townspeople don’t know what he has suffered. At first he treats Elizabeth the same way but
they slowly begin to open up to each other about their losses. At first they pretend the other is the lost
love, but then they begin to care more and more for the person each other is
and in doing so slowly begin to heal.
Ms. Brittainy writes beautiful emotional books and this is yet another
one that shouldn’t be missed.
Grade: A
My only issue with Ms. Jenkins books is the
prices. So when I saw this one was on
preorder for a very good price I scooped it up.
After I read and completely loved Forbidden, I wanted to read another of
her books so this is the one I chose.
Spring Lee is the heroine of this Western romance and
she’s a very unusual heroine. She owns a
small ranch and works with horses. She’s
perfectly fine living on her own and has no plans on marrying or having
children. She’s very independent, she’s
had to learn to be due her father’s neglect.
She meets Garrett McCray, the hero, when he is thrown from his horse
during a winter storm and she takes him to her place to take care of him until
he has recovered. He has come to
interview her brother, Colton, the local doctor and hero of a previous book –
and yes, I now have that one to read.
Spring is unlike any woman he has met before and he begins to fall for
the free spirit she is, so much so he is willing to rearrange his life to spend
it with her – if she will have him.
As with the previous Beverly Jenkins book I read, this
book is more heroine centric. Yes, I did
fall for Garrett, but Spring is the standout.
She is unforgettable and to be truly admired. She has gone through some terrible things and
come out stronger and more sure of herself because of them. I’m ever so glad that I picked up a number of
Ms. Jenkins books after reading Forbidden.
I have some books of hers now I’m really looking forward to reading.
Grade: A

Sigh. Wasn't An Extraordinary Union amazing?! So, so good. And I need to check to see if I have that Jamie Wesley book....
I’m awed at how much I love it. And now I have the next two books in the series.
