Review: This has been the easiest five stars that I have given a book this year. Maya banks has once again delivered a beautiful, flawless romance in her first book in the Montgomerys and Armtrongs series, Never Seduce a Scot. The story follows Eveline Armstrong, who is still struggling to overcome the effects of a horse riding accident when it is dictated by the king that she is to wed Graeme Montgomery, a member of the Armstrongs' most hated enemy, as an effort to bring about peace between the warring clans. Even though their clans despise each other, the attraction between the two characters is instantaneous and their love begins to grow and blossom. It isn't long before turmoil between the clans threatens their relationship and they struggle to overcome it. Banks has created a touching story of love that readers will be completely engrossed in to the very end. It was fascinating to see the characters evolve and to see them change throughout the book. Eveline and Graeme's story will stick in readers minds long after turning the last page. This author always creates wonderful stories with complex characters and with Never Seduce a Scot, she doesn't disappoint. I highly recommend this book, it will quickly become one of readers all-time favorites.

Rating: 4 Bookmarks

Review (Warning: Contains Spoilers!): Sophie Jordan's new book was exciting, fast-paced, and will engross readers from the very beginning. The story follows Cleopatra Hadley as she searches for a husband who will meet her exacting criteria and what happens when she meets a man that is exactly the opposite of what she wants in a spouse. Logan McKinney is searching for a wife and has only the criteria that she have a sizable dowry to aid in rebuilding his home in Scotland. It isn't long before they make acquaintances and with each encounter, become more attracted to each other. Shortly after they find themselves wed and Cleopatra is left trying to heal the scars from her past while trying to deal with the fact that she wants more out of her marriage than she originally thought. Lessons from a Scandalous Bride is a beautiful story that will linger in readers minds long after turning the last page. I highly recommend this book to fans of this author and genre, you won't be disappointed!
