Part-Time Marriage by Jessica Steele

Part-time Marriage by Jessica Steele is an odd story, almost all about work schedules and such.

Part-Time Marriage

I just wanted to know how they will end up so I skimmed and proceeded to go to the end part. 😁

This was a part of my “to read old books crazy phase.”

Heart of the Outback by Emma Darcy

First things first, the name Emma Darcy is odd. Emma by Jane Austen who also wrote a book with a Mr. Darcy. Anyway,  though the plot needs a lot to be desired, the h who has spunk and is quite a personality and to be honest, she would probably do better without the H who cheated on his wife (alive and invalid!) and who made her pregnant. One thing though, she should not have been a bit harsh to the H’s daughter.

That getting blind though, it was a bit overboard.

The HEA seems forced. The H should have been made to work hard before he is involved in the lives of the h and their child.

A Throne for the Taking by Kate Walker

Alexei, heir to the throne of Mecjoria, sought by Duchess Ria to return to take his reign. He proposed marriage. They used to be BFF but Lexei was exiled from the country and was doubted whether he is the true heir to the throne of not.

A Throne for the Taking

Fake royalty and fake kingdom, this story didn’t resonate with me was quite forgettable. If perhaps it was the circumstances were different, this would have been an enjoyable read.

 

No More Lonely Nights by Charlotte Lamb

I have been a reader of romance novels ever since, with special mention on Mills and Boon books. It is in this regards that I decided to look for those 70’s-90’s published books. I mostly read late 80’s – 90’s books before, hah.

Charlotte Lamb‘s No More Lonely Nights is different from other romance books because the woman who supposedly is marrying the main guy is not like other b!tchy characters who are spiteful. Save for the main guy’s sis and the explosive chemistry between the two main characters and their suspicious nature in some instances, this is just an ok read.

Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid

The Duke’s Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid is a fascinating, fast-paced novella full of secrets, romance and intrigue. For two strong personalities with their own quirks, the story was sweet, hot, fun and an enjoyable read. To those unfamiliar with historical romance genre, this is a good initiation book.

Too bad it was a short story. It would have been wonderful to get to know these characters more.
