2 Romance Reviews

Commitment-phobic Sam Carson has only dated model-gorgeous women. But one stolen kiss from a plain-Jane schoolteacher and he's hell-bent on stripping away her floral dresses and teaching her the art of being bad. If only her good-girl ways didn't make him want to be a better man...

Ally Giordano is at the end of her rope. Her beloved grandmother actually believes that she's living in her favorite romance novel in Regency England and Ally doesn't have the heart to set her straight. But now Granny Donny's last wish is for a retreat to the country and Ally can't refuse her...until she demands that Sam accompany them. And though his smiles turn her knees into jelly, Ally knows better than to trust a playboy...and she definitely knows better than to try to change one. Or does she? (Goodreads.com)




I liked the story and loved the regency era along with the modern era with the story. Liked the characters..but pure romance..girl meets boy, girl has problems, boy has some problem, whirlwind romance with mad passionate sex, trying to figure out the relationship, they break up, and then get back together.

I like reading these books and they are to me..pure fluff/light reading. I don't think I'm the best to doing these reviews, but I do enjoy reading them.


Angel Sabato has been in love with best friend Grace O'Brien for 10 years--but he's only just realized it. Too bad she doesn't take him seriously when he tells her about his feelings. Reeling from the rejection, Angel hightails it out of town. Now Grace is left to wonder if her problems from the past are keeping her from opening herself to love. But she brushes these "useless" musings aside, concentrating instead on the work she's doing as an apprentice to folk healer Tante Lulu and keeping up with the old woman's good deeds. Such as starting a foundation to help families still homeless after Hurricane Katrina. One family consists of 5 children who lost their parents. The eldest, only seventeen, has been struggling to take care of her siblings and lying like heck to the state agencies in order to keep everyone together. Tante Lulu and Grace take the children under their wings and decide the foundation will build a house for them. Re-enter Angel, who helps with the construction. Unbeknownst to Grace, Tante Lulu has decided to try her hand at matchmaking again. And Tante Lulu has never failed before! (Goodreads.com)

Cute story and loved the New Orleans influence on this story. I loved that there was a matchmaker who put couple together with out their knowledge. But this fluff reading for me. Liked the strong female characters in this book.

I did enjoy reading the novels , and not going to rate these books per the usual way. My DH doesn't mind me reading these novels . Naughty Girl Laugh.
