BLURB: Governess Miss Viola Winslow is quite famil BLURB:
Governess Miss Viola Winslow is quite familiar with the rules of society, and her place in it. Still, it hasn’t stopped her from being horribly in love with the Duke of Huntington for years. But while the duke knows little of her foolish passions, the same cannot be said of Viola’s charge—a precocious fourteen-year-old obsessed with her governess’s secret romance. 

As a confirmed bachelor with no interest in marriage, the Duke of Huntington prefers his estate at Moorcliff Castle to the hustle, bustle, and utter nonsense of London society. He’s far more content with a glass of excellent whiskey and the calm of the country. Until his peace is shattered by the enchanting Miss Viola, and her injured young charge.

Unable to travel or leave, Miss Viola has no choice but to remain at Moorcliff—where avoiding the duke is all but impossible. Somewhere between late night run-ins and a fake date in the most unlikely of places, their chemistry stops feeling one-sided. But when he discovers the secret she’s been hiding all along, there’s nothing that will save them from scandal.
 
REVIEW:
A fun read with little historical accuracy. The characters are all likeable, the pacing is good and the plot is fairly solid.
 
A simple, light read, easily finished in an hour.
 
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this in return for my review.

BLURB: Daisy Clarke is searching for a new beginni BLURB:
Daisy Clarke is searching for a new beginning. So when she inherits a lake house on the stunning west coast of Ireland that was mysteriously left to her late mother Rose, she wonders if this could be the fresh start she’s been looking for.

Daisy has never visited the tiny village of Innisfree, with its rolling green hills and cobbled streets, but she remembers how her mother’s eyes would fill with tears whenever it was mentioned. Because when she was pregnant, Rose ran away from this magical place in the middle of the night with a heart-breaking secret she never shared…

Arriving in Ireland, Daisy meets James, the handsome lawyer handling her inheritance. With his warm Irish charm, gorgeous sense of humour, and sparkling sapphire blue eyes, he soon makes her heart flip whenever she sees him. And when he offers to renovate the lake house and help her uncover her family history, Daisy begins to wonder if she can open her heart once more.

But when Daisy discovers the shocking truth behind her inheritance and her true family, it changes everything… When the dust settles, will she be able to build a future with James? Or will the secrets of her mother’s past destroy her hopes of a future in the beautiful Irish village she has grown to love?
 
REVIEW:
To be honest, when I read the blurb, I knew instantly what her secret was, and I was right. Despite the absolute predictability of this book, it was still a nice read.
 
The characters were well written, there were enough romantic elements to keep this romance reader happy, and the book had a good pace. A cute read that can easily be finished in an hour.
 
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

This is another book in the Lyon’s Den universe. This is another book in the Lyon’s Den universe.
 
In this book, Sarah, the Duchess of Buckingham, has been widowed after 9 years of marriage. Not a love match, the marriage had given her three step-daughters, security, and a home.
 
Phillip, a war hero and her nephew by marriage, inherits the title of Duke. Having never met before, he is stunned to discover that Sarah is closer in age to him than to his uncle, the previous Duke.
 
They become friends, hiding their mutual attraction for each other. There is an obligatory misunderstanding and Sarah leaves, causing Phillip to finally address his feelings for her.

There were several secondary characters that were not developed enough, and a lot of superficial details that were interesting, but could have been fleshed out more instead of being skimmed over.
 
A simple, light read, easily finished in an hour.
