The Good, the Bad, and the Duke:The Cavensham Heiresses #4- Janna MacGregor

 

A lady with a noble mission. A duke looking for redemption. A forbidden love that cannot be denied…

Lady Daphne Hallworth is ready to celebrate the holidays with her family. But when they accidentally leave her home alone, Daphne uses the time to work on her dream—opening a home for unwed mothers. But her quest isn’t problem-free: She’s in a battle to win the property for the home against her brother’s best friend-turned-enemy, Paul Barstowe, Duke of Southart. And that’s not all: someone has stolen her personal diary, which holds secrets that could devastate her family. Daphne has always harbored private feelings for the man her family scorns…though perhaps striking a bargain with the handsome Duke will solve both their problems?

Paul, long considered good for nothing, aims to open a hospital to honor his brother and restore his reputation. So when a conflict over the land brings him straight into Daphne’s life, they make a deal: He will help her find her diary if Daphne can change her family’s opinion of him. But before he can win her family’s affection, he has to win hers first. Maybe love was the answer to their family feud all along?

My Take:

This is, simply put, a really great read. Daphne is known as a Spinster but is able to find true love in the unlikely Paul. Janna MacGregor does a great job making you like each character even with all their flaws and root for them to find the ending they deserve. Great job.  

I'm back

Good afternoon all,

I want to apologize for being gone so long. These last several months have been very difficult to say the very least. Losing my husband has by far been the hardest thing that has ever happened to me. 

I appreciate each of you being so very patient with me while I got back into my groove. I know that Jeff would want me back on here reviewing away. So, I'm back and will be reviewing my hinny toukus off. 

Thanks again,
Jenni

Deadly Partnership by Richard Gardner

 

On his retirement, widower Paul Jenkins decides to live with his sister by the sea. But having moved in, the idyllic life that he has been hankering after is thrown into turmoil when he comes face to face with a burglar in the middle of the night.

His impulsive reaction to the intrusion has disturbing consequences when he is confronted with some unsavoury characters. However, it is the dead that he has far more to fear from.

My Take:

I really liked this book. It gave you a little bit of everything that you are looking for in a good book, romance, mystery and a great main character. I found that I just couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
