Book Spotlight and Review: Death Takes A Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller

Blurb:

What will the master of Pemberley do when confronted with the mercurial whims of an all-powerful angel?

Fitzwilliam Darcy’s well-ordered life is about to become a chaotic nightmare. A man of fortune, property, and social prominence, he has everything he could desire. Blissfully married to his wife, Elizabeth, they have a two-year-old son. With so much to live for, Darcy is shaken by a near-fatal riding accident. After a miraculous escape, he is visited by an otherworldly being: an angel of death named Graham. Threatening dire consequences, Graham compels Darcy to guide him on a sojourn in the world of mortals.

Darcy immediately questions the angel’s motives when he demands to be a guest at Pemberley. Can he trust Graham’s assurance that no harm will come to his wife and child? And why does Graham insist on spending time with Elizabeth? How can Darcy possibly protect his family from an angel with power over life and death?

In this romantic fantasy, the beloved couple from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice must contend with both human and unearthly challenges. Are the fates against them? Or will their extraordinary love conquer all?

Review 5 Stars

Fitzwilliam Darcy has an incident that that could of ended in his death but he is alive and well and has an unexpected guest at Pemberley. When the angel of death, Graham, arrives Darcy is worried about his intentions. Graham takes an immediate interest in Elizabeth and as if it is enough trying to figure out what will happen with Graham, Lady Charlotte arrives with trouble on her mind.

This was a thoroughly enjoying read. I felt like it was a mix between Pride and Prejudice and Meet Joe Black. I was charmed throughout the story. Highly recommend.

Review: Quiet Man by Kristen Ashley

Quiet Man by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte “Lottie’ McAllister is ready for the “one” to appear but it doesn’t look like that will be anytime soon. Deciding she is going to make her own path she notifies Smithie, her boss, who puts everything in perspective for her. What Smithie doesn’t tell her though is that his star dancer is getting threatening letters and he seeks help from Hawk Delgado who assigns Mo Morrison to her. Mo will be her constant companion until the creep is caught.

Lottie though wants Mo. Mo doesn’t want to go there, not because he is not attracted to Lottie, he is but he knows he would lose his heart to her and then where would it leave him. Lottie though wants Mo forever and decides he will be hers regardless. Mo draws a line when the man who is threatening her is caught, they will take the next step but will they find him in time?

This was great. Lottie exudes confidence and Mo initially is not sure what to make of her. I liked that Mo was the silent broody type who tries his hardest to keep it strictly professional. Excellent read, everyone is in it and I really enjoyed seeing how Eddie and Jet were doing.

I’d Rather Not by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oakley Spurlock has been fighting a losing battle after an infection damaged her kidneys. She needs a new kidney but time is running out when Pace Vineyard sees the plea. Pace knows who Oakley is, never met her in person but knows her brother. Pace steps up and is willing to donate to the woman he knows will one day be his. However, an enemy is determined to cause chaos and Pace wants to take his time with Oakley, but will she feel the same way?

This is a tear jerker for sure. Oakley is a lot like Viddy, I thought this slow burn romance was fantastic and wanted more. Pace was a different type of hero and he has a certain charisma that jumps off of each page. Love this series.

Review: Until December by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Until December by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When he sees December Mayson at his friends wedding, he feels a pull he never thought he would and wants to take a chance, but he does not know that December is putting her sister first and ends up mucking it up.

Should be smooth sailing but trouble has a way of finding the new couple and will the tests that are about to come their way be able to survive.

Another fantastic read by this talented author. I am always guaranteed two things when reading an Aurora Rose Reynolds, 1. Everything is put on hold while I devour the book and 2. It will be a fantastic read. Loved Gareth and had hoped he would get a book when I read about him in Harmony’s book. Definitely reread worthy.

It Wasn’t Me by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Piper Mackenzie is returning home after her tour and in order to get there she has to fly. Her anxiety is already heightened but when she sees Jonah Crew working on the plane she is hoping her trip doesn’t become the next installation of Final Destination. When the ride turns turbulent she finds herself sitting next to Jonah. As if fate was setting their course they both end up in Vegas together and married.

I was curious about Jonah when I read the first book and this exceeded expectations. I thought that Piper and Jonah were perfect together. You were not sure what had Jonah so curt in general but with Piper he has a definite softer side.

Review: Need You For Keeps by Marina Adair

Need You for Keeps by Marina Adair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deputy Jonah Baudouin should stay away from town trouble maker and savior of pets, Shay Michaels. She lets her emotions set her path and that is exact opposite of Jonah. Jonah should be focusing on running for Sheriff but Shay keeps crossing his path the next thing he knows they have a kiss they will not talk about and he is babysitting a kitten he doesn’t want.

But when the town of St. Helena’s most influential takes airs some of Shay’s dirty laundry to stop her from her cause, everything becomes a hot mess and Jonah needs to decide if he stands by Shay’s side or lets her go.

Loved this, great summer read. Shay is a free spirit and so animated it comes off of each page in the story. Her friends are hilarious, the side characters are a real treat as well. Jonah is a pure charmer, he wants Shay but at the same time tries to run from it. Slow burn romance at it’s finest.

Review: Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley

Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily Jacobs grew up with humble beginnings but she also grew up with a genie who had been with her family for two other generations. Fazire had given the family three wishes, only one has ever been used and now Fazire has to give Lily news he knows will devastate her.

The timing was all wrong, Lily had fallen in love with Nathaniel McAllister in a whirlwind romance but when she receives news that shatters her world she heads home. Despite all her efforts she doesn’t hear from Nate. Eight years later Nate finds out Lily had a child that was his and he wants answers. Everything he thought he new turns out to be a lie but Nate always was battling himself with not feeling he was good enough for Lily, will he figure it out in time or will he let his insecurities ruin the best thing that ever happened to him.

Throw in a genie with a temper, a warm soul and a alpha male and you have a magnificent read. This was wonderful, had a few teary eyed moments and I was surprised how it played out. Loved Lily, she is sweet and yet has a bit of a temper that ignites with Nate. Nate is broody and a bit to hard on himself but a perfect match for Lily. Excellent read.

When Riggs sees Luna, he knows he will do everything in his power to keep her safe. Luna finds herself falling for Riggs but the guilt she has for putting them in danger makes her anxious.
