The second in the trilogy. Love this series. This tale is a little darker than the first. Must read.

Second in Heiress series. Twists and turns as always but a good quick read!

This series is beginning to grow on me. I like the main characters more in this book than when I was first introduced to them in the first book. However, for me, it is the secondary characters who steal the book.

This is the 2nd book in the Celeste Bradley Heiress Bride Series and is just as wonderful as the 1st! I could not put it down, it was read in about 2 days!!!

Regency "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. It has some good moments, but I found the author's style pallid and the characterizations notably shallow.

I think I liked this one even better than the first! I didn't think I'd like Dierdre, but she's improves considerably upon closer perusal.
