Emily's Choice by Bethany Swafford

This is dramatic, heartwarming and entertaining. Emily is getting ready to have a short introduction to London before she has her first season the following year. Rosalind is her orphaned cousin who has lived with her and her father, and been Emily's companion, for the last five years. Mr. Williams owns the estate next to Emily's, Lord Evan is Mr. Williams' best friend. Emily is stubborn but polite no matter how rude other people are, until she's had enough of people acting as if Rosalind was a nobody, and here other cousin, Percival, keeps harassing her to accept his marriage proposal. Emily has never liked Percy, and he's never been anything but rude and condescending to her. When the girls are out walking one day they meet Mr. Williams and Lord Evan. When Emily's father finds out he forbids her to have anything to do with him, but won't tell her why, which just makes her rebellious. When her father collapses on Mr. Williams' property, she insists on caring for him as long as he's at Will's home. While there Rosalind and Lord Evan spend time together, and Emily gets to know Will. Emily's aunt and father push her to accept Percy, but Emily is interested in Will. With a few twists to the story the truth of the past comes out, which changes everything. I love the fact that the nobody girl brilliantly out does what everyone expects.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Stepping Over The Line by Laura Marie Altom

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This storyline is a little too dragged out for me. The characters are interesting, and I really liked Garrett, but I thought that Savannah was weak and ignorant. The sub story of Grady is great, I really enjoyed it. If you've read Bertrice Smalls Skye O'malley saga, it's like that. I just get bored after too much drama.

The Duke of Ruin by Darcy Burke

This is an amusing, heartwarming and romantic story. Simon is an honorable, charming and vulnerable man. Diana is sweet, caring and vulnerable. Simon believes that he killed his first wife and therefore doesn't deserve to be happy. But he believes in romance, which is why he chooses to be the person to tell Diana that she's being jilted by his best friend. He wants to help her overcome the scandal and when she decides to run from her tyrant father, he takes her. They get to know each other, and like each other, on their journey. It's very entertaining just how they get to know each other, and romantic and sweet. I love the whole series, but Simon and Diana are special. If you haven't added these books to your TBR list, do so. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
