June Forever by Merry Farmer

This is entertaining, romantic and heartwarming. Sir Christopher is a bumbling, awkward and simple man. St. George is a charming, protective and caring man. Vicky is an untrusting, vulnerable, naive and impulsive woman who has been in hiding since an attack on her. Vicky's sister, and her friends, convince Vicky to accept a marriage proposal from Sir Christopher, even though she's not sure if she can ever let him near her. A week later they are in London for parliament to vote on women's rights and go to a masquerade ball. When Sir Christopher gets to the ball he walks up to Vicky and starts talking to her. She has no clue who he really is, but treats him as her knight in shining armor. Sir Christopher doesn't believe that she doesn't recognize him, he thinks she's teasing him. It's only way later in the night that he realizes that she really doesn't know it's him. Shocked by that knowledge, he doesn't correct her. She ends up sneaking around with St. George, because Sir Christopher can't seem to come clean, and she's too dense to put 2 and 2 together. I did like both characters, although I felt more sympathy for Sir Christopher than I did for Vicky. It ends up being very sweet in the end.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

To Serve and Protect by Rain Harlow

This is a short, intense and entertaining story. Ben is caring, protective, stubborn and sweet. Liz is independent, determined, tough and fierce. When Ben hears a defendant threaten Liz, he insists the judge order protection, and that he be the one assigned to her. Liz finds him ridiculously attractive, but there's no way that she's going to put her heart on the line with a man with such a dangerous job. Ben won't put his heart on the line either, he'd been there and done that. But the chemistry between them is hard to ignore, so they don't. It's a very short story, but very good.

When Sammy sees Georgina for the first time in years, he's very happy, but also afraid that if she finds out that he is the former servant and friend from childhood, she could ruin his life. But she's just happy to find him again. Their friendship becomes a search for his past that is twisted and filled with tragedy. I couldn't put the book down trying to figure out who he really was. It's a brilliant and intriguing, and the characters vary from very sweet and charming, to evil. I highly recommend adding it your TBR list.
