The book in my words Amelia and Clara have had a bit of a rough life. After their mother dies they are stuck with a stepfather that wishes they never plagues his doors. Now that he is on his death bed, Amelia needs to find a safe place for Clara or find her a match. […]
Margaret last engagement didn’t go so well, to end the embarrassment she decided to go to a family friends house to see if she can find a suitor that will marry on convenience and not love, because she doesn’t want to do that again. What she wasn’t expecting was the arrogant Lord Williams and his […]
This is just a beautiful story and such a rich history. The description in the book paint such a colorful picture of how gorgeous the island was and the people that lived there. I just loved this story. You follow along with Maile, a very strong and independent, princess. She has lost her future husband and […]
My top thoughts: I read this book over an extended period, in little snippets as part of my Miracle Morning routine.

I really enjoyed Wild Wicked Scot– I liked the way the main character grew and the tension created by her existence as a dependent female, a pawn in men’s games. She starts off so naive and, like many women of the time, with no clue about what’s really going on around her. But she’s not […]
