NEVER ADMIRE AN ADVENTURER, Fortune's Brides: Guarding Her Heart, Book 2, by Award-Winning Author, Regina Scott

Kristof Tanner’s new job looks too easy. He wants more—adventure, danger, and, oh, how he desires to live a life that his father would have been proud of. The honesty of his upbringing and his previous job as a Batavarian guard is challenged again and again—for the sake of honor.

Julia Hewett’s domineering father has gone too far by trying to pick a husband for her. One who is rich and titled and would crush her happiness. But there is hope and a plan to convince her father that the man he disapproves of is her choice. Her happiness.

The first chapter of this story hooked me! These characters are fun and adventurous to read! A pretend engagement adds plenty of conflict to all involved. What a great way to begin! NEVER ADMIRE AN ADVENTURER supplies unexpected dangers, mystery, highwaymen, and friendships, making this an excellent novel to read, along with the first Fortune’s Brides: Guarding Her Heart book. This novel was engaging, delightful, and full of surprises.

Regina is known for creating excellent characters and moving romantic plots adventures! NEVER ADMIRE AN ADVENTURER is a clean historical that is well written and grabbed this reader’s interest, holding me to the last word!

THE SECRETS OF THE ISLES Series by Christy Award-Winning Author, Roseanna M. White

7/8/2023

1906 THE NATURE OF A LADY, Book 1; TREASURE AN HEIRESS, Book 2; WORTHY OF LEGEND, Book 3, make up THE SECRETS OF THE ISLES series.

This splendid novel set introduced me to memorable characters who worked hard to solve mysteries concerning lost treasure, people, and sometimes hope! Roseanna shares such 3D characters that this reader feels she knew them through and through. Roseanna deals with her characters' tender hopes and seemingly out-of-reach desires as they chase difficult or dangerous situations and people. Or shall I say, as dangerous people chase them along this adventuresome series?

You may wonder if I have a favorite book out of the three, but I'd have to read these through a few dozen times more to possibly make a selection. 😊 Or how about a favorite character, you may ask? Elizabeth Sinclair, the Tremayne family, Maybena Moon, Casek Wearne, Lord Sheridan, Lady Emily Scofield, Lord Telford, and such an amazing grandma everyone calls Mamm-wynn! (When I grow up, I want to be a grandma like her! "What?" You ask, "Are you not already a grandmother?" "Yes!" I answer. For isn't that an incredible privilege offered us in this beautiful world!" These are some of the characters, but in my opinion—they all shine, as do the support characters. So I must turn away from the idea of even choosing a favorite character!

The Isles of Scilly sounded lovely. And since this is a real location, I've provided a website for you to enjoy! https://www.visitislesofscilly./

I highly recommend THE SECRETS OF THE ISLES series! Please comment below on how you love this series too!
