Okay, when do we get a Netflix show for The Misfits of Mayfair novels? Cause I need it!!

Bethany Bennett delivers once more with the Duke of Trenton and the lovely Lady Hardwick. If you haven't read the first two books in the series stop what you're doing and grab them now. They are going to play a vital role in Dukes Do It Better. I enjoyed everything about this. From the way these two meet - to how they circumvent their current circumstances. It's all devilishly fun. I mean who doesn't want to be "pink from the sun"?

If you listen closely you can hear heels on cobblestone streets and feel the damp mist of foggy air. I have never been transported so quickly in time. England 1865 is where we are. Lady Katherine Bascomb is a columnist with a passion for solving mysteries.
It's all very Sherlock meets Agatha Christie. Set in an era where women are seen as silly and fragile, Lady Katherine proves she is anything but. Thankfully we have a smart man that knows better. Detective Inspector Andrew Eversham recognizes that he has met his intellectual equal and relishes the sparing.
It's an intelligently funny-historical mystery. Perfection!

The Victory Garden proves that beauty can grow and envelope the darkness. It also embodies the saying "Hope Springs Eternal". I truly feel that fans oThe Victory Garden proves that beauty can grow and envelope the darkness. It also embodies the saying "Hope Springs Eternal". I truly feel that fans of Bowen are in for a real treat. It's an amazing tale of history, love, and the real struggle of being a woman in a time where perception is everything. I can't sing its praises enough. Another 5 star read from Rhys Bowen.

A perfect romanticized look into a relationship during the war and how it's secrets are unfolded in the present. I really loved the duality of the narrative as well.

Selena started to smile, especially as she realized that sometimes "I love you" could be said without those particular three words lined up in a row. "See?" she said softly. "I told you this was going to be the best night of my life." -The Shadows, pg. 244
"That was so amazing," she whispered. "I can still feel you ****** ** **." Trez started to walk funny. It was either that or break something you couldn't put a cast on. -The Shadows, pg. 365
"Can I tell you something?" She glanced up at him. "Of course. And I promise I won't throw any more lamps- well, not like there are any around at the moment, but still." "You can throw anything you want." He stopped and turned her to face him, brushing her hair back. "You are the bravest person I know..." -The Shadows, pg. 430
"Sometimes, the evil you fought wasn't anything you could hit or shoot or dismember. Sometimes you couldn't even hurt it. And that was really f**king awful." -The Shadows, pg. 315
"Young," she mumbled. "Young okay? Young?" Instantly, Qhuinn's blue-and-green stare was right in front of her. "You're all right-" As if she cared about herself right now. "Young...!" -The Shadows, pg. 196
"We shall conclude this meeting the now." "Why? I should like to see you. It is a simple enough request." Not even close, he thought. "Why would you want to do that." "I thought you wanted to have sex with me. That's the whole point of all this, isn't it." -The Shadows, pg. 145

Welcome to the roaring 20’s! Vaudeville, ladies hats and speakeasies what a great time period to get lost in. Orphan Leah is at a point in her life whWelcome to the roaring 20’s! Vaudeville, ladies hats and speakeasies what a great time period to get lost in. Orphan Leah is at a point in her life where her career is leaving her childhood allure behind.
Enter in Oliver, thinking he has found his niece and heir to the family fortune he is disappointed that Leah is in fact NOT Jessie Carr. A plan is formed. The actress will become the niece with the help of the uncle and split the fortune solving problems for both of them.
Seems easy right, well mystery and intrigue ensue. Family members are not entirely what they seem as one or more may be responsible for the real Jessie Carr’s disappearance.
A fun mystery and an engaging atmosphere set in the 20’s.
Stolen from her home and her betrothed, Helena is tied to the ground and up for sale as a thrall. A servant for a household and any other needs a man Stolen from her home and her betrothed, Helena is tied to the ground and up for sale as a thrall. A servant for a household and any other needs a man sees fit. Helena, in a move to save her dowry lashes out at a man and winds up with her face slit. She keeps her dowry but now her safety is in jeopardy as night begins to fall and her capture has insured the awful man who scared Helena can now have her. Hope springs when Viking chieftain Hakan appears looking for an old woman to see after his household.
Hakan had a wife. Hakan has a son. The wife divorced him and is now keeping his son as a tool to get all she can from the chieftain. Fed up with woman and their lies he wants nothing to do with them. So when a thrall calls out to him, Hakan is suspicions of her reasons. (I will interject here by saying….she is tied to a stake, has been stolen from her family and future husband, is bleeding and trying not to get raped…..yeah, she has a motive! Men of the AD can be daft!)
What happens next is a sweet tale of two people falling in love and learning the new ways of each others culture. There is no “insta love.” Their story takes time and come together at a proper time. I really like both of these characters and find myself drawn to the story. It reminds me a little bit of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series.. Minus the supernatural element.
4 Stars for love, adventure and the chaos of houses divided.

The same type of ridicule and meanness from the other clan women I found a bit redundant. Also I found myself skim reading the last love scene. It gets an iffy 3 stars from me.
