This Scottish historical romance series is fabulous! Lyndsay Sands is such a talented author and I have always loved how she adds humour into all of her stories! Her words never fail to get me laughing, and on top of that being able to throw love, loyalty, and a great adventure into the mix!
Highland Treasure is Rory Buchanan’s book! Out of all his brothers, Rory was the one who concentrated on his job as a healer rather than seducing the ladies! That is up until he meets Elysande... Her Mother has requested that Rory help get Elysande to safety! The story is their journey from England into Scotland! I was highly entertained by their travels and attractions to each other!
I did dock a half a star for this instalment because I felt a bit cheated that we didn’t get to have scenes with Rory around his family. In past books, I have loved the Buchanan brothers banter, and add all their new wives into the mix made it even more better. That was missing in Rory’s book because he was traveling. It would have been nice for the couple to have arrived at their destination sooner! Other than that I still loved this addition to an amazing series!!!...more

This is the third one I have read, and all three are deserving of five stars!!! I love how each book has not only love, sex, and friendship; but also humour too! The humour has added an important element into each story, and for me it pushed a four star read to soar into five stars! I don’t give five stars out easy anymore... but these stories have deserved them!!
This is Gabriel and Penny’s story and has been my favourite in this series! Penny is a lover of animals... not just plain animals.. but ones that are injured and unloved. She takes them under her wing and gives them love, health, and a home! The situations that go on in Penny’s home with those animals is hilarious!!! Then Gabe comes along and turns Penny’s world upside down. He is her neighbor, but there is way more to him then anyone can see. Of course Penny loves a challenge, and she certainly gets one with the grumpy guy!
I have said this in all three of my reviews... these are highly entertaining stories!!! I recommend them wholeheartedly! If you are looking for a wonderful read that will make you laugh out loud, as well as swoon... these are your stories! I so much have enjoyed this series, I am very eager to start reading the authors older books!!! I am very thankful that I have had an amazing start to my 2020 year so far! Thank you Tessa Dare!❤️...more

The two little girls in this story added such a refreshing and humorous aspect to it that without them it wouldn’t have been as good! I loved how the younger girl killed her doll every night so that they would all have to join hands and surround the bed to have a funeral for the poor doll!...more
I loved this novella, that brought together the whole Mackenzie clan for an intriguing Christmas season. This book not only gave us more insight into I loved this novella, that brought together the whole Mackenzie clan for an intriguing Christmas season. This book not only gave us more insight into the next generation of Mackenzie's..but also gave us an update on our favorite couples from this series. As usual, Ian and Beth are at the center of it all...I absolutely adore them both, and Ian will always be on the top of my favorite hero of all time list!! I am also loving the fact that we are getting to know Ian's son Jamie! My fingers are crossed that one day, he will get his very own romance! Ian's children, are just as interesting as he is!! It was a heartwarming read, and it had a little mystery thrown into the story.
All in all, a wonderful Christmas treat for the fans of the quirky Mackenzie family! I highly recommend it to all the readers who love this series! Happy Holidays!! xo...more
This is an anthology with a Christmas theme to it, and it includes three heartwarming, entertaining stories from a trio of well known popular authors This is an anthology with a Christmas theme to it, and it includes three heartwarming, entertaining stories from a trio of well known popular authors in the historical romance genre.
In “A Christmas Abduction” by Madeline Hunter, Caroline has taken it upon herself to abduct a man named Adam whom she feels has wronged her sister. Caroline has taken on the roll has her sister’s protector seeing as her parents are no longer with them. Unfortunately, not all is as it seems to be, and Caroline finds out quickly that she might have been just a little too impulsive when it came to stealing Adam! Luckily, the attraction between her and Adam ignites and this becomes a Christmas neither one of them will forget! I have always loved Madeline Hunter’s stories, and this one was no different! I loved the interaction between these two and when it came to their passion... I enjoyed every moment they were together as well!
In the second story: “ A Perfect Match” by Sabrina Jeffries, I was reminded of why I have always devoured any work of hers! She not only creates an exciting world, but one that has you rooting for the characters involved! I also love her humour... her characters have personalities that never fail to put a smile on my face! In this story, cousins Kitty and Cass get kidnapped by Heywood who was in the army with Kitty’s brother. If you were to ask him if he actually kidnapped them... he would say, “Heck No!!” He really was saving them from a villain whom was going to try and steal Kitty and demand she marry him! Heywood is correct... but I am thinking he may have gone about his saving them in a different way! He takes the ladies to his family home where he ends up having to explain his actions to his Mother and Sister!! I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and the whole time I read it I was grinning ear to ear! This has definitely made me want to dive into more of the brilliant author’s work again! An absolute must read!
Last but not least is “One Wicked Winter Night” by Mary Jo Putney who is a new author for me. I did like this story, although it wasn’t my favourite. It was a second chance romance between a couple who separated when they were younger, and meet again seven years later and find their attraction is still alive and breathing. Instead of any of the main characters abducting each other in this story... the hero catnaps Diana’s beloved Cat to make sure he gets another chance with the woman he loves! This was a cute and unique story and even though it wasn’t my favourite, I did enjoy it!
This anthology is definitely worth reading when you are looking for a low angst, feel good read just in time for the holidays! Thanks to the author for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion! The book has been released on September 24th, 2019! ...more
Wow! I devoured this book in less than 24 hours!!! I loved Cassandra and Tom’s love story! I was hesitant when I began because in previous books Tom cWow! I devoured this book in less than 24 hours!!! I loved Cassandra and Tom’s love story! I was hesitant when I began because in previous books Tom could come across as a real ass!!! Even when he first sets his sights on Cassandra, he comes across as emotionless and egotistical... The more he falls for her though; the more loving he becomes!!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and I am hoping there will be more! I am not sure if there is anybody left though, unless Lisa Kleypas starts with the next generation! Now that I have finished this series, I am anxious to reread the Wallflower series!!
I highly recommend this whole series to readers who love a feel good romance with a little angst thrown in!...more

This is the second book in the Decadent Dukes Society series! I enjoyed Gabriel’s fall into love! He was a well known player, with no interest in marrThis is the second book in the Decadent Dukes Society series! I enjoyed Gabriel’s fall into love! He was a well known player, with no interest in marrying and settling down. When he comes across a mysterious woman though, all bets are off! She has caught his attention and won’t let it go. Unlike all the other women who fall at his feet...this one has an agenda and it doesn’t include the sexy playboy... or does it?
I was pleasantly surprised with Gabe.. I figured he was just a surface kind of guy, but he actually had a ton of layers to him. He was also so caring and sweet under his tough exterior. I loved how he wanted to make sure his lady was well taken care of- even if she ended up out of his life.
This series is about three Dukes who became friends when they were children and developed a bond that most people never experience. I have fallen in love with the first two Dukes, and the last is still to come. He’s a bit of a mystery as he holds himself back from everyone. We haven’t been given a ton of information on him just yet! I’m excited to start my ARC and find out what is underneath his tough shell!
A great, sexy historical romance series that I highly recommend!...more
This was the third instalment of the Decadent Dukes Society series... while it wasn’t my favourite out of the three books; I did st*** 3.5 Stars!!!***
This was the third instalment of the Decadent Dukes Society series... while it wasn’t my favourite out of the three books; I did still enjoy it. I have always loved the writing style of Madeline Hunter and her books were one of the first romances I started reading when I discovered this genre. She does a wonderful job writing a heartwarming romance, and including passion, friendships, and adventure into her tales.
In this adventure we get to follow the Duke of Brentworth’s fall into love with the feisty Davina. These two start out as enemies of sorts. Davina has reason to believe that one of the Duke’s properties is actually hers. First, she must find proof that her Grandfather was actually a Baron, and that she is entitled to the property in Scotland! Brentworth will fight for what is his; but he has secrets... and they are attached to the estate. He fears they will be revealed and that Davina will judge him when she finds out his past. Can these two ever see eye to eye? Their journey will test them both, and also have them find friendship in each other.
I did enjoy the story, but as I said... it wasn’t my favourite. I am not a fan of an enemy to lovers romance...as well as a slow burn romance usually frustrates me! I found the romance between this couple didn’t quite show up until the last quarter of the story. I prefer to have the romance be more prominent in the overall story as well. Even with that said, I do recommend this read... and I highly recommend the whole trilogy! The epilogue was fabulous and I enjoyed seeing how all the couples faired with each other in the future!
Thank you to the author and Net Galley for gifting me an ARC! This book comes out on April 30th, 2019!...more

I absolutely love this series by Lyndsay Sands! If you have ever read one of her books then you know how she integrates humour into her romances! I love knowing that I am going to have many laughs while enjoying the situations the main characters get themselves into! Not only are there a ton of chuckles, there are plenty of blazing hot moments as well! Seeing as our hero is a sexy Highlander in a kilt... you can’t go wrong with this historical romance!
This instalment has Conran who is the fourth son in the Buchanan family. I have loved following these brothers throughout this series and each story includes a ton of interaction with the current main characters and the older ones too! You could read each book as a stand-alone but I wouldn’t recommend it. It is so much more rewarding to have the whole family history and knowledge of all the brothers and their wives!
If you enjoy Scottish Historical romances then I highly recommend this series! It is up there as one of my all time top faves!!! I can’t wait until the next book comes out... I’m thinking I have awhile to wait; but with this series I could reread it many times and still enjoy it like it is the first time!...more
This is the third book in the series and I enjoyed it very much! I love historical romances that give us a good description on what life was like way This is the third book in the series and I enjoyed it very much! I love historical romances that give us a good description on what life was like way back when! In this instalment we got to see what Halloween was like back in the olden days! Lol I was sucked right into their turnip carving ritual!!! Move over pumpkins, and bring on the turnips! I know I probably sound silly but I have always been a person that feels such intrigue by how it was in the past!!
Michelle Willingham does a beautiful job with all of her Historical romances! She includes interesting scenes about the daily life back then, and tells a fascinating tale about how her characters fall in love!
This third story is about an Irish Prince who blames himself for the death of his brother and nephew... and a lady named Joan who has been betrothed three times and had each man die before making it to the altar! Needless to say, both Ronan and Joan do not wish to marry because their fear is too much for them to let go. The trouble is they both are extremely attracted to each other and can’t control the passion that they feel for one another!
I loved their story and they were both wonderful characters who were so easy to like! I was enamoured by them both and the ending was so darn emotional!
Another fascinating story from Michelle Willingham that I definitely recommend!...more

This is the second book in the “Warriors of the Night “ series! I really enjoyed the main couple... they both had been promised to one another at birth. Of course, neither one of them wishes to be stuck with the other, and they both feel like they have no freedom... Rhys figures he can maybe give Lianna to his brother; but their first meeting happens and there is no looking back for either one!
My only problem with this story was that Lianna was way too hard on Rhys. He tried hard to give her time to adjust to the idea of marrying him; but she remained firm in her hatred. I will say this; Rhys and Lianna were explosive together in the bedroom!!! Woo- eeee!!! Their intimate scene were sizzling!
This has turned out to be a wonderful mini- series! I’m eager for the third and final book in this series! It is about Rhys’s sister who believes she is doomed to be alone for the rest of her life. Time to get started and finish the series!
For readers who enjoy historical romances, then definitely give this author a try! ...more

Another fabulous read! This was the 6th book of the series and I have enjoyed it most of all! Aulay Buchanan is the oldest brother of the 7 handsome mAnother fabulous read! This was the 6th book of the series and I have enjoyed it most of all! Aulay Buchanan is the oldest brother of the 7 handsome men; but he’s the one with the scarred face that everyone scowls at. No one can look at him with out disgust until he saves a lady’s life... when Jetta looks at him it’s with love and awe. He’s her angel saviour and she thinks he’s her husband! Jetta was in a bad boating accident that has caused her memory loss, and when she finally wakes up, she thinks Aulay is her beloved husband! To keep her comfortable the whole Buchanan family goes along with her beliefs so they don’t upset her!!!
Of course like all of Lyndsay Sands books, there are a ton of humorous situations that happen throughout the book! Also, there is an enemy going around trying to kill Jetta too. This read kept me hooked to the pages and I devoured it like the rest of the books in the series!
Now I have to wait until the next instalment comes out in January... It makes me sad but gives me something to look for! What an awesome series this has turned out to be!!!...more

I’m devouring these books like candy! I just can’t stop! In this one, it is about one of the Buchanan brothers again; I have to say that I find these brothers highly amusing!!! Their family dynamics crack me up!!! Even though they tease each other fiercely, they are loyal to each other and the love they have for one another is heartwarming!!! I can’t get enough, and I’m glad the next book is going to be about the oldest brother!!!
On top of all the family love... we get such humorous scenes through out the story! In the funniest scene in this book, it took place on the main characters wedding night!!! It was so friggen funny!!! That humour is always present in a Lyndsay Sands book!
I’m moving onto the next story right away, and then I will be done and have to wait. This makes me sad, But I am so happy that I have gotten to read all seven of the books right away!! I highly recommend this Scottish historical romance to lovers of this genre! It is more than worth it!...more

Lindsay Sands always writes a story that is full of excitement, adventure, passion, and her signature humour that I have come to enjoy! I always know that her stories will include laugh out loud moments that I find is hard to find in a lot of books!
My favourite humorous moment in this story was when the Tom boyish heroine is trying to figure out if she is in love with her man! She has a discussion with her 7 brothers about it and you can just about imagine how men describe love and sex!🤣 Lol! It was an awesome part of the book and I won’t forget it!
I highly recommend giving this author a go! Her books are excellent and just so enjoyable! I’m moving onto the next one right away!!!...more
Another enjoyable read by Lyndsay Sands! I’m loving the “Highlander Bride” series! This was the second book in the series but it can stand alone.
The Another enjoyable read by Lyndsay Sands! I’m loving the “Highlander Bride” series! This was the second book in the series but it can stand alone.
The beginning starts off with Cam coming across a young boy who is being attacked by four big men. He rushes to help and becomes injured in the process. The young boy... who is actually a lady dressed in disguise... ends up saving Cam’s life after tending to him for three days after he becomes injured. You can imagine where this story goes from here!
I really enjoyed the couples journey to where they were going, and I do have to say I was a bit surprised with how fast they became intimate, it seemed like it was going to be a sexathon throughout the whole story; but it does taper off once the second half of the story comes into play! I did become a bit frustrated with their lack of communicating their fears to one another; but this kind of thing is common in romance land! Lol!
All in all, I find the series to be a light hearted, funny, and sexy read! I do plan to keep going as long as my amusement keeps being fed!!...more
I decided to dive into a historical romance as it has been quite awhile since I have read one. This one is written by Lyndsey Sands who is well known I decided to dive into a historical romance as it has been quite awhile since I have read one. This one is written by Lyndsey Sands who is well known for her PNR series that feature the Argeneu family of vampires. Her historical romances include her signature humour that she writes in all her stories! Actually, that is a big factor in why I love reading her stories! She not only is able to make me laugh out loud, but also makes me swoon with her sweet heroes, and squirm with the passion between the couples!
If you are looking for something that will give you a wide variety of emotions, then you must give these books a try! In this particular story we are transported back in time to the highlands, and the hero is a sexy Scotsman in a kilt! This is one of my weaknesses!!! If I could ever go back in time, it would be to find my own Scottish hero!!!
I really enjoyed Ross and Annabel’s story and it made me laugh more than a few times!!! There are six more books to go in this series but I do believe they are all stand alone! The only complaint I have is the lack of an epilogue. It would have been nice to have one to see a glimpse of their future. Other than that, I was satisfied with this read!!!...more
As I have said before in my other reviews for this series, I am enjoying the stories and characters very much! In this 4th installm*** 3.5 Stars!!!***
As I have said before in my other reviews for this series, I am enjoying the stories and characters very much! In this 4th installment, I will admit that there were parts that I became bored with. The story on the whole though, was enjoyable to me. So far, this one is my least favorite one; but only because I found there to be a lot of medical jargon, and stuff on politics. It all goes with the story, and therefore was important to be included. I just found my mind wandering at times when it wasn't about the main characters directly.
What I enjoyed very much was how DR. Garrett Gibson (our heroine), and Ethan Ransom ( Hero), gave us a different perspective on what we usually get when reading a historical romance. Our main characters are "commoners" and so we got to see parts of London that isn't usually seen by Earl's and other upper class society members. There were a few scenes that I loved and they took place while Garrett and Ethan wandered around town and saw all of the shops..etc.
I also am amazed by the knowledge that Lisa Kleypas has of all things back in that time period. She usually includes a summary at the end of the story about where she found her information, and in this case....certain medical procedures that Dr. Garrett had performed. I feel the need to give her a shout out for that considering that a lot of authors nowadays don't put that much research into their stories. I highly respect Lisa Kleypas for that, and I never fail to find it fascinating!
All in all, a wonderful read...even if it wasn't my favorite of the series. Oh, and I am extremely intrigued by the side character; West Ravenel. He is the hero in the next installment and I am so eager to read it! He was highly entertaining, funny, and sexy!! His heroine isn't going to stand a chance with not falling in love with him! I am pretty certain already that I am going to adore his book!!!...more
