Publisher's Summary:

When John Chester returned to England after suddenly inheriting a Dukedom he knew his life had changed forever. But he didn't know just how much. Gina Wilton was like a breath of fresh air. But she was also everything John disapproved of in a young woman, independent, assertive, always ready to contradict him. Yet she had ideas about restoring his dilapidated castle, and he found he needed her help.

The more they were together, the more he noticed how pretty she was, how witty and sparkling. But how could he believe that Gina was attracted to him, when it was she who produced an heiress and advised him to marry her? And when she was so clearly in love with another man. But there were more surprises in store for him. How they sorted out the love triangle in a way that nobody could have anticipated, is all told in this romantic novel, the 665th by BARBARA CARTLAND. If you like "Downton Abbey" you will love Barbara Cartland.

Barbara Cartland was the world's most prolific novelist who wrote an amazing 723 books in her lifetime, of which no less than 644 were romantic novels with worldwide sales of over 1 billion copies and her books were translated into 36 different languages. As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, theatrical plays and books of advice on life, love, vitamins and cookery. She wrote her first book at the age of 21 and it was called "Jigsaw". It became an immediate bestseller and sold 100,000 copies in hardback in England and all over Europe in translation.

Between the ages of 77 and 97 she increased her output and wrote an incredible 400 romances as the demand for her romances was so strong all over the world. She wrote her last book at the age of 97 and it was entitled perhaps prophetically "The Way to Heaven".

Her books have always been immensely popular in the United States where in 1976 her current books were at numbers 1 & 2 in the B. Dalton bestsellers list, a feat never achieved before or since by any author. Barbara Cartland became a legend in her own lifetime and will be best remembered for her wonderful romantic novels so loved by her millions of readers throughout the world, who have always collected her books to read again and again, especially when they feel miserable or depressed.

Her books will always be treasured for their moral message, her pure and innocent heroines, her handsome and dashing heroes, her blissful happy endings and above all for her belief that the power of love is more important than anything else in everyone's life.

Should be a movie. Best one yet.

I have been reading Barbara Cartland books for 40 years. This is the first one that is a delightful romantic comedy with her usual message about kindness and love. I hope someone makes a screenplay of this and brings this to the big screen.

Funo

Great story, fun reading

Five Stars

I love Rex Stout

Love FInds The Way

I always enjoy Barbara Cartland's books. I love the historical facts that she includes and the details of the clothing. I recommend this to all Barbara Cartland fans and those who enjoy a good old fashion romance story without the detailed sex.

Love Cartland

I love Barbara Cartland. Now that everything is being converted to digital, I can get rid of my paperback collection.

Publisher's Summary:

When the Balkan Prince Stanislaus demanded an English bride, Queen Victoria decided to send him Lady Lavina, whose family had a slight connection with royalty. Determined to avoid this fate, Lavina threw herself on the mercy of the Marquis of Elswick, a disagreeable man who had turned his back on the world following betrayal by the woman he had loved. Surprisingly, he agreed to help by pretending to be engaged to Lavina, and, with her father, they left to visit her relatives in Scotland.

In the highlands Lavina began to find herself attracted to the Marquis. Beneath his harsh manners he had a heart - a heart that perhaps she could win. But nearby was the Queen's country home, Balmoral, and when Her Majesty arrived with Prince Stanislaus, they knew that there was still a battle to be fought. Now Lavina learned the shattering secret that was the real reason the Marquis had agreed to help her. And that secret was to threaten to take from her the man she loved. How she discovered the truth in a way that nearly cost him his life, is told in this romantic novel. If you like "Downton Abbey" you will love Barbara Cartland.

Great trip down memory lane

Ah...a trip back to the late 70s to teenage summer and weekend nights filled reading stacks of Barbara Cartland books by flashlight until dawn. The author wrote 900 plus short novels, mostly historical, that perfectly captured the classic spunky young woman working her wits against the older, often jaded, 30-something rich, titled man until he succumbs to her charms, sweeping her into a heart-pounding kiss of alpha-male possession...and, wink-wink, hinting at the love-making events sure to happen AFTER the make-her-a-respectable-woman wedding.

A knife that cut too deep, a slash that still burns, failures piled high and flammable. I held my losses at bay with knives, with guns, my hands, my bike, my brothers, my iron will. But not my heart. No, my heart was the flame that would light the match, ignite the blaze. I am the enforcer - the killer when called upon, the ruthless hound on demand, the one who cleans the mess left behind. I am the protector - I can make you bleed, smash you to pieces. But she smashed all my excuses, and I shattered hers. For a split second she was mine, but I will always be hers. Some things, really beautiful things, you can't hold on to forever.

Publisher's Summary:

Samirah Lundgren is living the party girl life. While she's trying to forget about her past and put off having a meaningful future, her lifestyle catches up with her, leaving her in a wake of personal destruction. Alone and homeless, she encounters Michael Salinger, a man carrying his own baggage in the form of a spinal cord injury, not to mention his former fiancé is marrying his former best friend. Can a man with a broken body and a woman with a broken soul help each other find the redemption they need to become whole again?

Members Reviews:

Every Day I Have is a Gift

Samirah Lundgren has hit rock bottom, and is broken heart and soul, to the point that she doesn't want to think about things that should matter like convictions, morals, ethics and family. Michael Salinger has a broken body due to a spinal cord injury, and broken heart due to the rejection of his fiance due to his life changing condition. âA car may have broken my body, but Lainie broke my heart.â These two unlikely people find themselves needing each other, at a very low point in both their lives. Can two strangers who fate seems to have brought together, really start to heal each other?

I enjoy mismatched couple's stories. This book was realistic in the difficulties both of them would have, and need to overcome. I enjoyed the journey of their story. I appreciated Michael's attitude. âThere are some things about it that suck, but I'm lucky to be alive. Every day I have is a gift.â Samirah, in a small voice, she says, âI wasn't a good person, but least now, I'm trying.â I really liked the book and hope you will read and enjoy, too.

One for the keeper shelf.

4.5 stars. When I first picked up this book I was hesitant about the favt that it was written in the first person perspective... But as I got into the story and characters that was not a problem. Both the main characters were realistic, engaging and interesting. the scene when they met was hilarious and original. You can tell that the author has done her research quite well.

*Trigger warning* the book does talk about sexual assault and the resulting trauma afterwards. I feel like the author did an excellent job of making sure it was realistic but at the same time, the actual scene doesn't get too explicit. (And I'm super glad it didn't!)

" Loved the story

I just finished "Live for this." Loved the story...the characters were so broken, but they found each other by fate. I love happily ever after stories. This would be an awesome movie. Great job!

What do you do when the worst happens?

I loved this book! No spoilers here, but this story shares some hardships that we all hope to never deal with, and how two people developed the courage and fortitude to move on. It was a very real and uplifting story, my new favorite by Kathryn.

I loved the character development

For me this book was a pure perfection although it dealt with tough issues. I loved the character development, especially how Samirah realises her past mistakes, deals with trauma and tries to become a better person.

Publisher's Summary:

What's wrong with a little white lie?

There are a lot of things Ali Marshal doesn't do: pink anything, a day without chocolate, and Hawk, her sister's ex-husband. Sure, he's a sexy former NHL star who can make her pulse pound with just a wink. But he belonged to Bridget first. And no matter how long she's had a crush on him, how great he's always been to her dad, or that her sister is engaged to someone else now and Ali needs a date to their engagement party, she can't give in to temptation. Can she?

It's been years since his disastrous marriage crashed and burned, and Bradley Hawk has finally moved on. So when Bridget blows back into town with her new fiancé, throwing the engagement party of the year, he couldn't care less...until Ali tells one little lie that lands him smack-dab in a fake relationship. After one promise to be Ali's date and two of the hottest kisses he's ever had, Hawk can't deny how much he wants her. But what happens when this fauxmance starts to feel very, very real?

Members Reviews:

Such a great, swoony read! Marina Adair does a great job of sucking her readers into Ali and Hawk's world!

I adore Marina's writing style and the realism to her characters. This book was no exception and I was completely immersed in Ali and Hawk's world. I loved how the reader first sees Ali and Hawk's interactions. It's unexpected and different. And their next encounter is a complete 180! But so enjoyable. I loved their friendship and banter. Sure, there is an unusual past between them, but they were made for each other!

My heart felt for all that Ali had to endure with her family and I wanted to see her spread her wings and fly. What started out as a white lie, never felt like one and the easiness Ali and Hawk had with one another was sweet and funny and often times just what the other person needed. Because they had been friends for so many years, the things they needed didn't have to be said. They understood each other.

I enjoyed every moment throughout this book. Marina writes in such a way that captures her readers and she took my breath away throughout this story. It was sad, sweet, sexy and oh-so-enjoyable. This book was beautifully written and I highly recommend it!! Looking for your next book boyfriend? Look no further! Bradley Hawk is so swoony!

10 FABULOUS STARS!!

Feels Like the First Time by Marina Adair.......10 FABULOUS STARS!!! I absolutely loved this fabulous story and fantastic characters. This story is full of sassy characters, bantering, fun, chemistry and family drama, which is what we grow to love from Marina Adair. Ali is the perfect heroine beautiful, strong, sassy and caring. Hawk the perfect hero he is a hot former pro hockey player, alpha male, sweet and so caring. These two are so fun together, but there is a problem Hawk is the ex husband of Ali's sister, did he pick the wrong sister. This is one book you will want to read, so make sure you pick this one up. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Way better

The first book in this series wasn't all that great mostly because it took forever to care about the story, I felt the dialogue forced and the chemistry wasn't as good as this author can usually create. However, this book was way better and made up for what the first book was lacking.

Title: 3 Days with a Cowboy

Subtitle: Heart of Oklahoma, Book 7

Author: Lacy Williams

Narrator: Becky Doughty

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 04-03-17

Publisher: Lacy Williams Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From USA Today best-selling author Lacy Williams comes a new contemporary cowboy romance perfect for fans of The Big Bang Theory.

She came looking for a place to hide...and found an unlikely hero.

Part-time cowboy and full-time physicist Jake Sutton has enough complications in his life: his younger sister is about to be released from prison, and being a single dad to his five-year-old niece isn't easy, especially for someone who can understand quantum mechanics more easily than the female mind. He doesn't need any additional drama, but when country music artist Stevie Flower rolls up to his doorstep in need of help, he can't say no.

Stevie is sick of paparazzi hounding her and hiding a secret grief that no one in her circles - not her fans, her business manager, or her peers - can understand. She and Jake were friends back when he tutored her in high school physics, so when she needs a place to escape, she runs to him.

Having Stevie underfoot is both a dream and a nightmare for Jake. The disproportionately large crush he had on her in high school rushes back with a vengeance - but someone like Stevie is in another dimension entirely. Can he offer the comfort she seeks without falling in love with her all over again?

Members Reviews:

A fun, quick read

A fun, quick read. Love Lacy's Redbud Trails books.

Jake has loved Stevie since high school when he tutored her in science. Her life too a turn towards the entertainment industry and he has become a physics professor. When Stevie shows up in his driveway one day he is t quite sure what to do with her. She's in hiding. Over the next few days he helps her in her healing journey and then sends he on her way again. This was a great story with a happy ending.

Five Stars

Good read

Beautiful Begin Again Story

How many times do we wish we could go back and be wiser in school and realize what truly made someone special may not make them popular but special means more in the end.

Four stars

I enjoyed the kind hearted physicist as the main character in this story. This is a sweet, clean love story.

3 Days With a Cowboy

3 Days With a Cowboy (Heart of Oklahoma #7) by Lacy Williams

What do a nerdy high school science tutor and a âwanna beâ country star have in common? Nothing! He falls in love and she doesnât. Years later Stevie now a Nashville star returns to what she thinks is a safe place to recover from a devastating loss. Jake, now a science professor/cowboy/rancher/father to his niece isnât so nerdy anymore. I loved how these two after falling in love take it slow and find a way to work around their two lifestyles. This story shows that with some work love can find a way.

Publisher's Summary:

"Don't have a best friend that's a girl" - this was the advice from my older cousin. I didn't take it. Because he followed with, "friends don't f--k friends. And you'll want to f--k her."

It was terrible advice. My cousin should've told me that being best friends with Baylee Wright - since she was 12 - would be the best and worst decision of my life. He should have told me to protect her from what was coming. He should have told me that when a darkness crawled towards us, there'd be no safety net.

Now I've signed back on to the same Vegas acrobatic show as Baylee, working together for the first time in years. And she tells me that she's having trouble in a certain "area" of her life - because of our past. "You can help me fix it," she says. And then she hands me a list.

Members Reviews:

This story is absolutely amazing!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely!! There are so many layers to this story, and I know if they were to read it they'd fall head over heels for the story, the characters, and the setting.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters definitely make this story unforgettable. Both the main characters and the side characters feel so real and genuine, it's hard to believe they're fictional. Luka, one of the main MC's is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. Baylee, the other MC, is one of the most passionate and relatable characters you will ever have the pleasure of reading about.

Have you listened to any of Bahni Turpin and Johnathan McClain s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't. Though I do plan to listen to The Hate U Give which is narrated by Bahni Turpin.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me feel a whole range of emotions. One chapter I have a huge smile on my face and the next I'm trying to hold back tears. Krista & Becca are one of the very few authors who have been able to pull such reactions from me.

Any additional comments?

This story was so much more than I was expecting, in the best way possible. I really hope there are more books in the series and I hope everyone gives this book a chance!

Excellent!

Excellent story. Excellent narrators. The authors are amazing! I strongly recommend the book.and the audible book.

Wonderful Characters

Luka and Baylee are teenage best friends turned lovers. An unfortunate set of circumstances separates them for five years, until there are reunited back in the same Circus show, but they are still unable to reconnect.

I loved this book, mostly because I love Lukas messed up family. I simply cant get enough of their warmth, loyalty, eccentricity, humour and love.

If you can get beyond the ridiculous and unbelievable terms that keep Lukka and Bailey apart for years you wont be able to avoid falling in love with the characters in Infini and their stories.

Wow another amazing love story

Even a few chapters in, this book captured my heart and the narration of this book was perfection.

.

Great book. I really enjoyed the storyline but I have an issue with narrator.

Narrator kept on repeating lines with different inflections every time he repeated something. It almost seemed like he was trying out the line/lines to see which would suit the storyline best but then didn't go back and edit out the extra lines.
