Now the most exciting new names in romantic fiction and the bestselling author who started it all escort you down the aisle to a place of honor at four glorious celebrations of everlasting love: KATHLEEN E. Or the sight of a happy couple being showered with confetti and good wishes. Nothing lifts our hearts like the joyous peal of wedding bells. In the years since, she’s devoted her life to being all she ought to be and she’s not about to let a man like Carsington entice her to do everything she shouldn’t.īut the rules of attraction can easily overpower the rules of manners and morals, and sometimes even the best behaved girl has to follow her instincts, even if it means risking it all. Early on, she learned a painful lesson about trust…Īnd temptation. Lady Charlotte is so beautiful, charming, and gracious that no one has noticed what an expert she is at Not Getting Married. He senses a crack under her polished surface, and finding it is a challenge he can’t resist. But there’s something intriguing, and not quite perfect, about faultless Lady Charlotte Hayward. He finds society’s ‘perfect darlings’ exceedingly boring.

And it now is my second favorite Loretta Chase book and it could be a re-read, along with my other favorite Egypt-set historical romance (and Swooniest Romance), As You Desire by Connie Brockway.Darius Carsington is a spectacularly handsome rake with a rare intelligence and no heart, a man who divides his time between bedding loose moraled women and writing scholarly papers. Loretta Chase wrote one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE ROMANCES, Lord of Scoundrels, so when I saw this one recommended for fans of The Mummy, I thought, um, YES PLEASE. Think Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones. I really enjoyed it, partially because, again, it’s a new -ish historical time period for me and also because the heroine is a F*CKING BAD ASS. I’ve been seeing recommendations for this author all over the freaking place and then last month, after I included Alyssa Cole’s medieval romance on my list, I went looking for more… and found this one had been praised all over social media. Another perfect beach read - think Sex and the City but for the Hallmark Channel (read: not quite as spicy.) I CANNOT WAIT for the next two books in the series and neither will you. The first in a new series, this book hooked me from the very start with its voice and sense of humor. This is a true romantic comedy and it’s a perfect release for vacation reading lists everywhere. This month on the list I have 2 new releases that are both contemporary romantic comedies and two older books that are historical romance.

It’s so interesting to look at these every month and look for patterns.
