Review: The Art of Taming a Rake

The Art of Taming a Rake The Art of Taming a Rake by Nicole Jordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two years ago, Venitia Stratham was shunned from society for breaking it off with her fiance on their wedding day when he showed up escorted by his best friend, Quinn Wilde, fresh from his mistress’s bed. Venitia refused to accept a man that wouldn’t be faithful, regardless of money and a title, so she was shunned not only by society but her family as well. Now, two years later, she has returned to England from France, determined to save her sister from wedding a rake like Quinn Wilde.
This was a really good story. It’s part of the author’s Legendary Lovers series, which all in all, is quite a cute theme. So, as with the other stories, it’s definitely a story that has been told before but with the author’s unique twists. My favorite piece from this book was Venitia and her strong personality in a timeline where women didn’t have rights. She was determined to lead her own life regardless of what got thrown at her. I enjoyed watching her and Quinn go round for round, fighting her preconceived notions and his mistrust in feelings. I highly recommend.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
