We gave this historical romance a B+.
With a cast of characters straight out of the history books, The Highland Commander doesn’t shy away from using the ongoing political chess game of the time to heighten the threats against Maddie and Aiden’s future together. Readers should be prepared to lose their hearts to a brave couple who go through hell and back to secure a love that can withstand any risk.

This one isn’t perfect, but it’s an easy, enjoyable read.
Kat Martin’s Heartless has an interesting premise and intriguing characters. It doesn’t quite live up to its initial promise, but it’s an entertaining read anyway.
Ariel Summers is the daughter of a drunken, abusive peasant. At fourteen, she longs to escape her life of poverty and ignorance, so she makes a devil’s bargain with the Earl of Greville, who is known to have a taste for extremely young women. She proposes to become his mistress, after he sends her to school and gives her the refinement she needs to be a lady. When she makes this bargain, Ariel doesn’t have a very good idea what it will entail; but after four years at an exclusive finishing school, she understands very well what she offered the rakish earl, and she hopes to be able to repay him some other way.
Unbeknownst to Ariel, the old Earl of Greville is dead, and the man who has been paying her way at the school is his son, Justin Ross. Justin, the new Earl of Greville, is illegitimate and never knew a moment’s love from his father, but was officially adopted just before the earl died. He has enjoyed reading Ariel’s letters and following her progress through school, but since he’s not your typical Regency rake he has no intention of making her his mistress, regardless of the bargain she struck with his father. He changes his mind the moment he first sees her – in the arms of his most hated enemy, Phillip Marlin.

This has been on sale before. We love it.
Throughout the course of the story, there is a murder mystery playing out, so while Jill and Vincent are working through their own issues, they are also tracking a killer and that aspect of the story is equally enjoyable, including how Jill and Vincent work together and their individual roles in solving a crime that make them such good partners. I had no idea who the murderer was (they do solve the case by the end) so it’s well plotted and keeps some good suspense running through the story. Cuff Me perfectly blends family, work and romance into a delightful contemporary story.
