The convention center where my kidlet is taking his first state test of the year has a pretty good restaurant attached so grabbing a small bite with some good books while I wait for the next couple hours!

This was a fun read, better than the 2nd book in the series. The characters grew a lot and while it‘s irritating that the series is kind of parallel, if you read them all at once I imagine it‘s fun.
Anne must decide if she‘s been honest with herself or if Hart, whom she loves to hate, is correct and she‘s lost herself to her mother‘s grief. Hidden families, witty flirtation through writing and horses makes this complex and fun.
4.5/5 stars
This is a lovely book, well written and interesting with character development and a good plot.
Nina is a forger by training but a baker by passion and when her brother tells her to go work for the handsome art critic who uncovered his work as a forger to protect them, she finds herself in a new world.
4.5/5 read for a well written and well researched historical romance that deals with a lot of issues but in a respectful and elegant way.
This is the 2nd book of a 4 book series. You do not need to read the 1st to understand any of this however. I devoured this in 2 days. Not only did I love this, I identified with Julia in more than a few ways. I really enjoyed the character development. I also enjoyed how the story unfolded, even though I'd guessed at some of it. I'm so glad I read this and will definitely be reading the rest of the series. (And probably her other books too.)
I told my riding instructor about The Siren of Sussex because I enjoyed it so much. She looked into the book and author and then ordered the 1st two books of the Belles of London series. She gave me this 2nd book to read while she reads the 1st. I couldn't resist getting this photo after my lesson today.
Book 25📚 3.5⭐️
Another great Enola Holmes adventure!!😊
I‘ve enjoyed all the entries in this historical romance series (I feel like Mimi Matthew‘s is becoming an auto-read author for me). This one especially nailed all of the romance tropes it includes (childhood friends > lovers > enemies > lovers), by actually making the scenario feel realistic based on the characters‘ circumstances and the timeline of their relationship.
It‘s only appropriate that I should be settling in for a quiet Valentine‘s night in with a sweet historical romance. Unfortunately, my husband headed back to his work yesterday (he has a 2 week on, week off schedule), but at least I have a swoon worthy duke to spend my solo evening with 😉.
Side note: the page turner remote that @Saknicole gave me for Christmas has completely revolutionized my Kindle/iPad reading!
Third book in the Belles of London series. #SeriesLove2024
Lady Anne and Hart (Felix Hartford) were engaged ages ago, but this fell through. Now Anne needs Hart's help (because of a matter that's dealt with in book 2) and both of them tell themselves there are no feelings left between them. Well, it's a second chance historical #Romance set in Victorian times, so...
Well-researched, with an extensive Author's note.
Enjoyable, but ⬇️
14/150 Another clever and entertaining mystery involving Enola Holmes, and her lesser known brother Sherlock. I like how Enola has grown and changed with each new story, growing in skills and confidence. I hope the author has many more of these stories to tell. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
14th book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65
