Once Upon a Winter‘s Eve (Spindle Cove 1.5), by Tessa Dare (2011)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Christmas ball in Spindle Cove is disrupted by the arrival of a stranger — and possible French spy — who collapses at the feet of a resident about to be sent home to London, and who thinks he seems eerily familiar.

Review: This is a fun holiday romance novella that‘s a delightful addition to the Spindle Cove series.

A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove 1), by Tessa Dare (2011)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: Susanna will do whatever it takes to preserve her seaside village that‘s become a haven for independent women, but she meets her match when their quiet life is disrupted by the arrival of a young lord tasked with setting up a local militia.

This was fun! Bookish Minerva needs to get to a geology symposium and she convinces rouge Colin to take her. This is #2 in a series, I didn't read #1 and you don't need to. They all start in the same town, but are all stand-alones. I found this to be funny and charming so much so I am going to read #4 also (the other 2 are centering military and that is not for me)
A nice historical romance with a smart women MC.

#audiosewing project that happened this afternoon.

I enjoyed the #audiobook and will probably read the next books in the series.

This is also what my brother named his 4H pigs the first year he allowed himself to name them.

Indie Bookstore Day prep starts now. Who else is excited for Saturday? https://youtu.be/dFTF9z8ajd4

What I refuse to believe is anything less than a Robin Hood Men in Tights reference AND an Old Spice reference on the same page in an exploration of toxic masculinity.

Finally visiting Spindle Cove for book club.

I loved this! Despite judging a book by its title, I loved this 😄

Minerva is a plain, bookish geologist. Colin is a 'rake' with quite the reputation.

Their road to love is a thoroughly enjoyable journey.

I loved Tessa Dare's humor and will read more from this author.
