How about this book?

A Georgian RomanceNottinghamshire, 1785

Julia Cummings has long been acquainted with loss-her mother, her brother, her sister, her friend, all gone too soon. But the loss that pushed her grief to the limit as a young girl was that of her best friend, Lucas Jonquil, who abandoned her without looking back. Now, eight years later, Lucas has returned to Lampton Park, and Julia has steeled herself-she will never forgive the man who broke her heart.
After losing too many of his friends and family to early deaths, Lucas vowed to live life to the fullest. And after traversing the world, he has returned from his adventures to find his family and home as he left them-except for Julia. The little girl he left behind has blossomed into a captivating lady, a lady who makes it clear she despises him. With little hope of reconciliation, the former friends are blindsided when their parents make a shocking announcement. Lucas and Julia have been betrothed without their knowledge and are to marry immediately. Now Lucas must rely on the help of his closest friends to win the heart of a lady who loathes him-a lady he s coming to love more deeply every day.

My review:

Full of heart and sweet Romance!
​So this book is full of heart. There is a lot of hurt and hope in this book. There is a lot of cute scenes and times when you want to ring both of their necks. I loved it. I cried more than once and smiled like a fool a lot more times. This book is sweet and tender and it makes me love their boys all the more. If you love historical romance and very sweet stories then you will love this book. It is beautifully done and even thought I just recently read it, I am ready to read it again. You will love their friends the Gents and also love a few surprise characters as well. Thank you for another great one Sarah!

Title: Forget me Not (Series: The Gents)
By: Sarah M Eden

Sarah's books are an instant buy for me. I love all of her books but especially her Jonquil and Lancaster family books. So when I heard that she was writing a book about the Parents of our favorite Jonquil boys, I was so excited! I was honored to be part of her release team, and read this book early and am so happy to post a review on its release day today.

Title: A man worth Shaving for
By: Michelle Pennington

Oh my word, I loved loved loved this book. I seriously read it so fast, I can hardly wait to read it again. Romantic comedy is absolutely the right category. This book is so incredibly funny! I laughed out loud more than once, smiled like a goofy idiot and said over and over again, “this is fantastic!” I loved the aspect of a curvy girl, the business consulting and the witty dialogue. This is one I’m glad I bought because I’m gonna need to read it again! If you  love sweet romance that still sizzles this is one to pick up and I mean it. I already bought book two and can't wait to dive right in.
SOOOO WORTH THE MONEY!

Coming Home to Maverick
By: Sophia Summers

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the cowboy, rodeo aspect of it. I loved their romance. I loved little Gracie. It was one of those books where I wanted to just keep reading even if it was after midnight. It was a feel good book. I loved the christen aspect of it about keeping God in your life, praying to him and having him on your side even if you made some big mistakes. I loved how it mixed the childhood sweet hearts and second chance romance tropes. I loved all of the sweet relationships in this book and I honestly can't wait to read another one! I totally recomend this to anyone who loves sweet romance, espcially christen romance. It was a joy to read !

BLOOD AND SNOW
BY: RASHELLE WORKMAN

This book is very fun. Its interesting how she twists the original tale to work with vampires. I admit to getting quite captivated and because of the cliff hanger ending reaching for the next book the very next second I could grab it. It is YA and with some romantic elements that get a little touchy, but no full on love scenes. I admit to staying up late reading this one too and I will also admit that I'm reading the next one right now. If you like a little teenage drama and paranormal's it's a good one to pick up.

THE LADY AND THE HIGHWAYMAN
BY: SARAH M EDEN

So I love Sarah's books I will always read any and all of them and this book proved to be AMAZING just like I always knew it would be! I loved the fun victorian time era, the fact that the main characters were writers and that there was just enough romance woven into the mystery of the plot.  I feel like I learned a lot about how the victorian era worked and I loved learning a little more about the rules. I loved the secret society and how important it was to the men. Kind of gave me a little bit of a scarlet pimpernel vibe, which I loved a lot.
My favorite thing about this book by far though is the fact that intermixed with the main story is the two stories(penny dreadfuls) both of the writers are writing throughout the book. Seriously three stories for the price of one how can it get any better!
I will admit to reading this book late into the night (ahem 3:00am) and loving every second of it. I absolutely recommend it to everyone and especially to those who love historical Romance!

SPELL CHECK
BY: JULIE WRIGHT

Okay this book is so much fun. I love how much the feel of this book reminded me of Sabrina the teenage witch. Her magic causes all kinds of trouble and of course her regular life gets in the way of her magic. It is light hearted and fun. The magic in this book is unique. I really loved how it had a lot to do with trolls. I think this is a great read for tweens, teens and adults who love these kinds of books.  GREAT READ!
**only trigger warning would be those with recently divorced parents. That is a big issue in this book and if you are dealing with something like that you might want to consider that before picking this book up.

Book Review: The heart of a Vicar

The Heart of a Vicar
​By: Sarah M. Eden

What a cute cute story. Sigh worthy for sure. I loved getting to see Harold's character in a new light. He isn't stuffy or arrogant or all that is holy. He is a guy who is stuck trying to decide if he made the right choices for himself. I loved reading about him and his struggles. I loved his climbing and how much he loved that part of himself yet hated it too because he thought he couldn't do that as a Vicar. I love Sarah and her challenge to him that she could be a better Vicar than he. I loved that silly game of theirs. I felt really bad for Sarah and the way she was treated by her awful uncle. YUCK! He was a yucky man. 
This was a cute story but more than that it was such a wonderful story about accepting yourself. I love reading books in the Regency time era especially if they are written by Sarah. They feel so real, like you are immersed in the time. I love all the rules of this time era and how they themselves add to the conflict of the story.
Bravo Sarah, another fantastic book! This is why we always can't wait for your next one! I would recomend this book to everyone espically if they love books in the Regency time era. It is sweet, clean and full of a great message.
