I Flipping Love You by Helen Hunting.

I still haven't posted any reviews in a while. Sigh. But I couldn't resist getting this one. I have read others by Helen Hunting and loved them. The premise of flipping houses, love that. I liked this book a lot, enough that I went back and got the earlier books in the series. Have liked them a lot as well. I wish I had read them first but that is a quirk of mine. Hope this series continues.

FYI

Looks like I haven't posted any reviews in a while. Sigh. I have started a new job that takes plenty of my time. I still read lots. I have added audiobooks with my 25 minute each way commute.
I liked reviews as a way of keeping track of which books I read, which I like, and which I did not like and why.
I still prefer reading above all else, so reviews may be fewer and farther between. Erica Ridley was one of the first books I reviewed, and I am sure the Duke's Accidental Bride will not be the last one of hers I will review. I find it hard to do negative or meh reviews so maybe I need to concentrate on my five star keepers.

The Dukes of War - The Duke's Accidental Wife

The Duke's Accidental Wife by Erica Ridley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a lovely Regency romance- I liked the fact that both the hero and heroine remain true to themselves while striving to make the best of a marriage of convenience.
I thought it adorable that they managed to 'compromise" themselves without even kissing - sweet!
And the hero did not dismiss her fears but allowed her time to get to know him, inadvertently because he was busy with Parliament, but still nice. In fact this ducal hero was just flat out nice.
Our heroine was total opposite from our reticent hero, she was social, but soon realized he wasn't. She graciously allowed him his space. Lovely, just lovely.

Thank you Erica for a sweet finale, if you will, to the Dukes of War series.

The Brigadier's Runaway Bride is a nice entry in the Dukes of War series

The Brigadier's Runaway Bride by Erica Ridley
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

This story just misses four stars because I felt it was more of a story to complete others in this series, rather than a stand-alone.
This historical romance is the fifth in the Dukes of War series. The heroine has been left pregnant by her soldier fiance. She decides to wait no longer and will marry his friend, the duke, to give her child a name. Her soldier fiance turns up just in the nick of time and saves her from her marriage of convenience. I liked that this romance did not end with the marriage, but continued in order to tell the story of true love.
I am looking forward to the jilted duke's story. I received an ARC from the author in return for an honest review.

What to Do with a Duke is a fun historical romance

What to Do with a Duke by Sally MacKenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this historical romance a lot. It is the first in the Spinster House series.
I love the idea of a Spinster House. I think historical purists might object to the idea, allowing an on-the-shelf spinster to set up her own establishment, in the middle of town, with public approval. But the idea is fun, and Sally MacKenzie tells this story well.
And the idea of a curse, that the hero believes in, no matter how odd, is also fun.
I have enjoyed Sally MacKenzie's book, beginning with the Naked Duke, and look forward to more in her new series. I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

The Rebel, a good finale to the Millionaire Malone series

The Rebel by Victoria Purman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book number 3 in the Millionaire Malone series is good. I liked it a lot. The hero, Cooper, is third Malone brother. He is a surfer and he and heroine and single mom Maggie have a past. No, not that kind of past, but a past of being best friends for a lot of years.
Cooper loves Maggie's son as much as he loves her. As a professional athlete, dealing with a career-ending injury, he takes a while to realize how much Maggie and her son mean to him. But he does figure it out. Good for him.
I got a complementary copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review. I look forward to more romances by this author.

The Billionaire's Temptation, book 1 in the Amalfi Night Billionaires

The Billionaire's Temptation by Katherine Garbera
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The is book 1 in the Amalfi Night Billionaires. The hero, Rocco is a winning race car driver who is looking for what is next. Steffi is his billionaire brother's assistant.
Rocco "liked the man he was when he was with her." That is why I read romance. Aah.
And Steffi, in spite of herself, honestly listens to him, and believes him. Sigh.
I got a complimentary copy from Net Galley in return for an honest review. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
