A Lady Never Surrenders

In another beautiful priceless and timeless historical romance, Sabrina Jeffries wove us a wonderful tale in a Lady Never Surrenders, the 5th book in the Hellions of Hallstead Hall series. When Celia Sharpe was a wee one, she lost both of her parents to a brutal death. Years later, we followed her and her mission to discover the truth and to find a suitor to marry her before year's end under her grandmother's ultimatum--marry or lose her inheritance. Under her family's employ, they hired Jackson Pinter, an Associate Magistrate from Bow Street, who had some secrets of his own. He always wondered who was his father. Together, we witnessed them on this journey, when someone wanted to stop them to learn the story. Danger brought them together as they discovered they were meant for each other to profess their love. But their different classes might tear them apart. Only their hearts would lead them back to each other, despite their differences. You'll fall in love with this couple. Another winner!

This was a beautiful historical romance. I did love the 19th century backdrop in England to see how the other half lived during then.  I did feel bad for Celia who lost her parents at a young age. I loved how her family chipped in to help raise her. That was moving and brought me to tears. I hated that they came from different side of the tracks and that her grandmother placed pressure on her to marry. She already dealt enough tough blows in her life. As for Jackson, I thought he was a charismatic man, who was also a charmer. He and Celia had something in common, when it came to find out their family roots. I loved how they found each other and discovered the truth about it all. Danger, intrigue and plenty of suspense to keep you wrapped up in this book to the end.

Don't surrender! It's never too late to pick up a copy this weekend!

Never Seduce a Scoundrel

If you love a good historical romance, you'll enjoy a hot one like Sabrina Jeffries's Never Seduce A Scoundrel, the first book in the School of Heiresses  series. This kicked things off with Amelia Plume, an English heiress and a graduate from the school, that upon a dare, she met an American soldier named Major Lucas Winter, when she delivered a note to someone else in his lodge. From that moment on, both Amelia and Lucas run into each other. Amelia went out to seduce him, when she discovered he investigated her stepmother for a crime. Winter didn't see it coming, when she went out an adventure, and they go neck for neck, when she fell in love, and he succumbed to temptation. Later on, he revealed his dark past, while he fended off some bad guys. She later realized she loved him, when his secret ploy for vengeance was revealed, and love brought them together. A lovely historical romance to heat up your winter day.

This was a lovely introduction to this historical romance series.  This was a sense of intrigue and drama between Amelia and Lucas. But they both shared some emotional baggage in their past. I found Amelia a rare beauty, a passionate soul, and an adventure seeker. She was real interesting to read about. Lucas was the perfect match for her, when they ran into each other and discovered the passion between them. I loved the backdrop of 18th century England to set the scene and the heiress school as well. This would reel you in to keep you reading more of her work.

Don't get swept away? Hang on tight to a copy today!
