My True Love Gave to Me edited by Stephanie Perkins (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
This set of young adult stories captures the spirit of the holidays. I liked some of these stories better than others and especially enjoyed the stories written by Rainbow Rowell, Gayle Forman, Stephanie Perkins and Kiersten White. Whenever I tried to read multiple stories in one evening I found that I did not enjoyed the as much so I recommend reading one of these stories per night. This collection is the perfect read for the season and I am fortunate to have received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Duke in my Bed by Amelia Grey
3.5 stars
My mood for historical romances continues and I was especially excited for this one because the plot seemed perfect. As a viscount lays dying, he forces a vow from his friend, the Duke of Drakestone, to take care of his five sisters by marrying his eldest sister Louisa. The Duke, a notorious rake and gambler, agrees but then puts off the unpleasant task for two years as he sows his oats. Finally, he proposes marriage to disastrous results and has to re-evaluate his own views on love and family. I really liked the plot and the Duke but felt that it fell flat in parts especially when in Louisa's wishy-washy perspective. Overall, this was an humorous and heartfelt historical romance. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
