Lilith and the Stablehand by Samantha Holt
Can the sister of a marquess find love outside her social station? Lilith had been so excited to make her debut into society and really enjoy herself. As things sometimes go though, she found herself clumsy and making a cake of herself by stepping on feet and spilling her drink in an unwelcome lady’s unmentionables! Making the gossip column in a newspaper about her less than sparkling debut, she just wanted to be done with society. The only real solace she found was with Harry, the stable hand for her brother the Marquis of Thornefield. Having been around Harry and feeling as if he is a friend, she pours out her heartache and they begin to become closer. Could they possibly find love? This was a delightful story in line with the other books of this series of the Bluestocking Brides. This can be read as a standalone novella but a lot of the characters in the other books make an appearance. Love this story and the entire series as Samantha Holt pens another wonderful tale!!
The Archaeologist’s Daughter by Summer Hanford
This is the first book by Summer Hanford I have read. But it definitely will not be the last! The title alone got my attention but very quickly into the story I was hooked. William Drake, future Marquess of Westlock is a rake, or is he? Pushed by his dying father to marry quickly, he meets Lady Lenora Hadley, daughter of a famous archaeologist. As much as William is a rake, Lenora is deemed an ice queen, pushing away potential suitors as quickly as they approach. Once they meet, there is an attraction, especially by William but Lenora resists due to his reputation. We find out things are not as they appear which provides an interesting mystery that is not easy to solve. This story has it all! Intrigue, suspense and a cast of characters that holds your attention and had me turning the pages as quickly as possible! I truly enjoyed this book and know you will also! Do not let this one pass you by! Great reading Summer Hanford!
