Edwin has been assigned to escort Clarissa through the season to protect her from an unsavory suitor. Edwin is serious and blunt, Clarissa is charming and effervescent. When they are forced together, they must learn to accept each other at face value. This was a good historical romance that I enjoyed reading, but I'm not sure I'd call it memorable or unique. I've read several by this author and normally enjoy them more than this so I will pick up her other books. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Good Dukes Wear Black by Manda Collins
Publication Date - April 5, 2016
4 stars
This is the third in the dependably good Lords of Anarchy series, which I have read all three, and this is my favorite. The Duke of Trent is the new president of the notorious club and hopes to clean up all the scandal that has plagued it. A hard job when a member supposedly has his wife kidnapped and committed to an insane asylum. Ophelia, a reporter for a ladies lifestyle magazine is good friends with the woman kidnapped and enlists the Duke to help find her before it is too late. There is good chemistry between these two likable characters and I enjoyed reading from both perspectives. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Luck is No Lady by Amy Sands

Twenty five year old Emma Chadwick has assumed the status of spinster in order to take care of her two younger seasons during their first season. After their mother died of a prolonged illness, their father spirals into debt while gambling. Now that he is gone, Emma must take control of her sisters and the family finances. When she sees an advertisement for one of London's gambling clubs run by one of the most notorious men, she decides to put her accounting skills to use in trade. Roderick Bentley is the bastard of two nobles who holds a grudge against the "ton". Emma is someone that he can't quite figure out and that intrigues him. This book was really well written with good dialogue and dynamic chemistry between the two characters. The ending was weirdly vague, but I assume it is the set up for further in the series.

The One That Got Away by A.J. Pine

3.5 stars
I read this sweet book in one day as I held my breath for these two friends happy ending. Jamie and Brynn have been best friends since middle school, and besides one brief kiss at seventeen, they have stayed that way. Not that they are approaching their ten year high school reunion, they are reevaluating their relationship and what it would mean to risk losing each other. I love the best friends on a road trip trying to figure out their feelings element. For the most part, it was done well and I really liked these characters. However, they were both pretty dense at times and the drama was dragged out a little too long. Overall, I really enjoyed rooting for these two characters and their sweet romance. I received an digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
