Scotland's Melody: A Regency Romance By Katie Stewart Stone- Book Review


 

Product Details

    Title: Scotland's Melody
    Author: Katie Stewart Stone
    Genre: Regency Romance
  • Publisher ‏ : ‎ Covenant Communications (January 8, 2023)
  • Language ‏ : ‎ English
  • ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 152442109X
  • ****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, book tours, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****


  • Book Summary

  • Melody Foster has been granted every luxury available save one: the ability to love whom she chooses. When her father reveals that she is to marry a wild Scot she’s never met, Melody defies him and declares she will never marry without affection. Her choice to marry Richard, a footman in her father’s household, prompts her family to disown her, and she goes to London to risk everything for love. But she is blindsided. Without a penny to her name, her love is worthless to Richard, and he decides to change tactics. Perhaps she could still serve a purpose—after all, her family can’t sit idly by while she is held for ransom . . .

    Desperate to escape the man she thought she loved, Melody finds allies to aid her: first, her old governess and then Cameron Findlay, a handsome stranger who is startled by the distraught young woman who catapulted into his life. Cam finds himself sympathetic to the young woman’s plight, so he and his sister agree to take her on as a servant in their household. Cam and Melody are powerfully drawn to one another, but can Melody ever trust her heart when it was so terribly wrong before?




My Review
Scotland's Melody has a very rambunctious female main character. Melody is nineteen, stubborn, naive, and running away with a man who she thinks she's in love with. Her father disowns her after Melody proclaims she's not marrying the stranger from Scotland that her father chose for her. Melody soon learns that "her love" was fake and he's after her and her family's money. 

This book has Melody running away a lot from men, her family, and her feelings. I truly loved Scottish brother and sister, Cam and Elsie. {I'm excited to know that Elsie's story will be the next one written. She had quite the personality and spirit.} They took Melody in when she needed help and taught her some things about life too. Soon Cam is falling for Melody but there are trust issues. I felt for Melody as she had already had her heart broken once and was scared to love again. 

The big "mystery" is soon revealed that causes much angst but is resolved well. Melody changes so much from the beginning of the story as an impetuous girl to a young woman. It's a fun journey to see her take and also it's wonderful once the setting settles in Scotland. One of my favorite scenes takes place with Cam reading a poem to Melody. I found a video of a Scotsman reading the poem and his voice makes your toes curl. I included this video with my review on my blog if you are interested. 

Overall this was a sweet story, easy to read, and I loved how Melody and Cam finally came together.

Secret of the Sonnets: A Regency Romance By Samantha Hastings-Blog Tour Regency Book Review and the Author Tells the Top 10 Reasons to read SECRET OF THE SONNETS

 





Product Details

     Author: Samantha Hastings

Book Summary

Miranda Hatch is a scholar, and at the advanced age of twenty-six, she is undoubtedly a spinster. Her single-minded ambition leads her not to seek a husband but to find the lost manuscripts of William Shakespeare. So when she discovers a connection between the Bard and the local dashing marquess, she pens a letter requesting access to papers that might secure her academic triumph.

Lord Robert Hamilton is drowning in debt and must turn things around or risk losing his ancestral home. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, he has little time to bother with a letter from an M. Hatch requesting access to ancestral papers―until he realizes there may be some financial merit in granting the request. To his great surprise, M. Hatch turns out to be none other than the lovely Miss Miranda. The pair soon embarks on the trail of a centuries-old mystery, drawn together not only by their shared goal but by their growing attraction. However, someone else is seeking the priceless papers, and they will not hesitate to remove anyone in the way of glory.
 


My Review

Secret of the Sonnets had my favorite kind of female heroine. Miranda was smart, bookish, witty, and confident. For this time period, most women wouldn't have been described this way. I also loved Miranda's relationship with her parents. Her father is a scholar and her mother was supportive of her husband and daughter. This isn't something you always see in Regency books and this family loved spending time together and the father and daughter had a heartwarming bond.

Robert's main focus was on his financial hardships. This brings Miranda and Robert together as Miranda and her father are on a hunt for the missing sonnets of Shakespeare. I grew to like Robert more once he began to partner up with Miranda. They had great chemistry and I loved every scene they were in together.

There are so many things to love about Secret of the Sonnets from the many references to Shakespeare's work, the ongoing hunt for the missing sonnets, the mystery behind who's trying to sabotage the Hatch Family's scholarly pursuits, the slow burn romance filled with frivolity and banter, and of course, let's not forget, the gorgeous cover on this novel.

 Author Samantha Hastings has written a unique story full of danger, mystery, humor, and of course sweet, clean, romance. Historical Romance readers will want to read Secret of the Sonnets.

The Secret Society of Salzburg By Renee Ryan-WW 2 Historical Book Review

   Welcome to the Takeover + Review Tour for The Secret Society  of Salzburg by Renee Ryan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!


 I LOVE this beautiful cover! I wanted to read this
book even before I read what it was about. Covers
can really sway readers whether or not they'll
purchase a book. This cover is AMAZING! 

 Book Details

The Secret Society of Salzburg 
Title: The Secret Society of Salzburg 
Author: Renee Ryan 
Publisher: Love Inspired Trade 
Release Date: December 27, 2022 
Genre: Historical Inspirational WW2 Romance

****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, book tours, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****



Book Summary

From the author of The Widows of Champagne, and inspired by true events, comes a gripping and heartwrenching story of two very different women united to bring light to the darkest days of World War II.

London, 1933 

At first glance, Austrian opera singer Elsa Mayer-Braun has little in common with the young English typist she encounters on tour. Yet she and Hattie Featherstone forge an instant connection—and strike a dangerous alliance. Using their friendship as a cover, they form a secret society with a daring goal: to rescue as many Jews as possible from Nazi persecution. 

Though the war’s outbreak threatens Elsa and Hattie’s network, their efforts attract the covert attention of the British government, offering more opportunities to thwart the Germans. But Elsa’s growing fame as Hitler’s favorite opera singer, coupled with her secret Jewish ancestry, make her both a weapon and a target—until her future, too, hangs in the balance. 

From the glamorous stages of Covent Garden and Salzburg to the horrors of Bergen-Belsen,  two ordinary women swept up by the tide of war discover an extraordinary friendship—and the courage to save countless lives.

My Review
I love when I find a new-to-me author. Renee Ryan has a beautiful writing style that draws you into the story within the first words read.  I want to read more from this talented author. The characters are written well, and you grow to know and love them quickly. I couldn't read this book fast enough.

The novel tells the story of two English sisters that love opera and an Austrian Opera singer. Their friendship grows and turns into a secret organization in order to save Jewish lives. 

What happens when you are in the heart of Adolph Hitler's den of minions? Elsa Mayer-Braun finds her life wrapped up in the Third Reich because of her husband's connections. Artist Hattie Featherstone has a huge heart that will sacrifice much to help others in need. No matter how many stories I read based on WW2, I'm always amazed at the bravery and courage of people. This gripping novel was inspired by true events brought to life in this powerful story. There was never a moment I didn't feel strong emotions while reading this story ranging from pure happiness to devasting heartbreak. I will admit, there were some tears shed at many points while reading this book.

The Secret Society of Salzburg is an inspiring work of fiction that highlights the strength of friendship, courage, and resiliency. What a great read to start the new year. It's one that I won't forget for a long time.

20-40-60-Minute Dinners: Meals to Match the Time You Have by Kate Otterstrom-Cookbook Book Review


 

Product Details

     Title: 20-40-60-Minute Dinners: Meals to Match the Time You Have
    Author: Kate Otterstrom
    Genre: Cookbook
  • Publisher ‏ : ‎ Shadow Mountain (April 4, 2023)
  • Language ‏ : ‎ English
  • Paperback ‏ : ‎ 176 pages
  • ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1639931090
  • ****I received a complimentary ebook from publishers, publicists, book tours, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****


Book Summary
Whether you only have twenty minutes or an hour—or something in between—you can deliver a delicious entrĂ©e and side dish to the table with these quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing recipes. Organized by “available time” rather than by “kind of dish,” this unique cookbook is designed to help the time-conscious cook with dinner planning.
 
Enjoy “Mac and Cheese with Candied Sausage and Green Peas” from the “20-Minutes or Less” section. You can create a hearty “Vegetable Stew with Blue Corn Chips and Poached Egg” in forty minutes. If you have sixty minutes in the morning to prep, you can make “Sweet and Spicy Turkey Taco Salad” in a slow cooker. And if you’ve got more time, plan ahead by making easy-to-freeze dinners on the weekend for a quick bake-and-serve weeknight meal.
 
As a busy mother of four, Kate Otterstrom also makes dinnertime fun with recipes you might not expect could work for dinner—including “Toothpick Appetizers for Dinner” and breakfast favorites like “Slow-Cooker Cheese, Sausage, and Mushroom Strata.”
 
With the ingredients paired side-by-side with the instructions, it is easy to learn a new recipe or pick up where you left off after an interruption. Since Kate is gluten-intolerant herself, each recipe also includes instructions on how to adapt it for a gluten-free option, along with a dedicated space for you to jot down notes for additional variations.
 
In today’s busy world, time is precious, and this cookbook can help you get dinner on the table with however much time you have.
 

My Review
20-40-60-Minute Dinners: Meals to Match the Time You Have is a good mix of any kind of recipe you may be looking for. The recipes range from very, very easy to somewhat harder. The best thing is that those who don't have a lot of time to fix a good meal after work will find recipes and ideas in this book. 

My thought as I perused the pages of this cookbook, is this would make the perfect gift for kids going to college or moving out on their own. This would also make a great wedding present for newlyweds. There is an array of categories in which you can find something that everyone will like. 
  • College-Style Dinners
  • Quick-Prep Dinners
  • Slow-Cooker Dinners
  • Frozen Dinners
  • Time-Consuming Dinners
  • Breakfast
  • Baking and Candy
I really liked the author's stories as she told of why she baked or cooked certain things for her family. It was fun to have a story with the recipes. It felt like reading a novel and not just a cookbook. I also liked how Prep Time, Cook Time, and Servings are also included with each recipe. There are also beautiful photos to go with the recipes. Also included are special instructions and guidelines for those with Gluten Free needs. My favorite recipe I enjoyed in the book was the Asian-Style Chicken Salad Bar with the Tortilla Soup coming in a close second. My favorite activity the author talked about is how to engage in "Table Talk" with your family and keep everyone at the table to eat and talk. 

If you are looking for a gourmet cookbook you won't find it here. If you are looking for some quick and easy recipes and meal-planning ideas, 20-40-60-Minute Dinners is the cookbook for you. 

-Thanks NetGalley and Shadow Mountain for the review ecopy.

Book Summary
Following a knee injury during the final Stanley Cup game, professional hockey player Miles Donnelly finds himself sidelined in the hospital with his career hanging in the balance. His only hope is to work with a doctor to rehab and rebuild the strength in his knee. The catch: he has to remain in New York City for the next two months rather than return home to Montreal.

After her father is incapacitated by a heart attack, Manhattan socialite Linda Bancroft trades house parties in the Hamptons for taking over management of the family’s real estate empire. But her first day on the job, she faces imminent disaster after an unscrupulous employee is fired. She needs a new apartment manager, and fast. The unlikely solution to her problem comes in the form of an injured—and dangerously handsome—hockey player looking for a place to stay. Thrown together by chance, Miles and Linda quickly realize there is something deeper between them than just friendship. But when outside pressures begin to strain their relationship, they must confront an impossible question: Can two people from entirely different worlds truly build a future together?


My Review
The Dream's Edge series has really become one of my favorites. Between the novellas and the full-length novels, I can't get enough of these characters and how they are all connected. The Best Mistake once again takes readers into the past, the 1950s, to tell the story of beloved characters Miles and Linda. Up to this point, we've seen them as wonderful family friends to main character Amaliyah from An Unlikely Pair(Book #1), Dreams of Gold(Book #2), and the upcoming Worlds Collide (Book #3).

I loved seeing how Miles and Linda met and fell in love. It is one of those magical love stories where people from two different worlds fight all odds to be together. Miles is an injured professional hockey player who meets high-society Linda, the daughter of a real estate mogul. Once they meet in the hospital their instance attraction can't be denied. This novella wrapped up a full-length novel plotline with many elements of romance and suspense. Corporate espionage keeps things interesting and full of intrigue. I absolutely loved the way that Miles seemed to always be there to defend and support Linda. 

Anyone that has been loving this series must read The Best Mistake. If you haven't read any of the books yet, this book would be a great place to start and then jump into the others. Traci Hunter Abramson has another winner in this sports romance series.

Book Summary

Tallie Brown has spent a lifetime hiding from the ghosts of someone else’s past. Raised by a paranoid woman on the run, Tallie learned from an early age how to disappear. Now she must employ her unique set of skills to track down hundreds who have simply vanished, so when an Amber Alert wakes her in the night, she is the first to respond to the call. But tracking the missing girl comes with unexpected consequences, leading her down a deadly path paved with lies and personal loss that ends in a single devastating truth: General Cai Kaswell, the father she just discovered and the world’s best hope for peace, is among the vanished.

As she struggles to find General Kaswell, Tallie is drawn into a conspiracy that links her past to the string of unsolved disappearances. Her search for answers sends her around the globe, but when it nearly takes the lives of her trusted friends and leaves her alone, she is assigned to a charming operative she doesn’t fully trust. Forced to watch her own back as she searches for General Kaswell and the others, not only does she discover she is the unwitting catalyst for the disappearance of the missing people but she and her father are also lured into a plot that threatens the Constitution and the balance of world power.





My Review
Revenge Never Rests is book two and the sequel to Secrets Never Die. This second book starts right after where book one ended. Do yourself a favor and read book one before diving into book two. 

Speaking of diving into something, Author Laurie Lewis does exactly that. This novel starts with an Amber Alert waking her in the middle of the night. With Tallie's background, she races off to help look for the missing girl. This incident is the beginning of more adventures filled with conspiracy and lies. Tallie has always lived that way not fully trusting anyone around her. My heart aches for Tallie as she has already had so much taken from her and now her birth father is missing. Tallie is such a brave and resilient character. I like her even more in this second book.

This mystery-suspense novel has a little bit of romance but is loaded with action. Plan plenty of time to read this one. Once you are pulled into the kidnappings, conspiracies, and untrustworthy people, Revenge Never Rests will need to be read until the exciting conclusion.
