This was an ER book and here is the review:

I thought this was a good book. The beginning started a little slow and then it improved somewhat but always kept me wanting more. It definitely had a lot of twists and turns. If you are looking for a mystery it is worth a try.

29. Formidable Lord Quentin: A Rebellious Sons Novel by Patricia Rice - 4 stars.

This was an ER book and here is the review:

In the beginning of the book I was not sure that I was going to like it but it turned out to be really enjoyable. I had not read the other books in the series like I normally like to do but I am not sure if that even played a part in this story. I liked the characters of Bell and Quent and the sisters and brother. If you are looking for a good historical romance I suggest giving this one a try!!! I am going to search out the others in this series.

This was an ER book and here is my review:

This was a very short story. It was really hard to get into the story line or the characters with it being so short. I really think if this one would have been longer and more developed it could have been a lot better.

This was an ER book and here is the review:

ER Book Review:

What a great book! It was light, fun, very entertaining, full of bright characters and just flowed right! Loved all of the different interactions between the characters and the different little tours. I cannot wait for the next one to come out.

66. Trusting Liam: A Taking Chances and Forgiving Lies Novel by Molly McAdams - 5 stars.

ER Review:

When I found out I was getting this book through ER I also realized it was not the first in the series, I hate reading out of order! So anyways, I purchased the first book Taking Chances and loved it! Then the second, Stealing Harper and loved it also! I then saw that Molly McAdams had another series and read Forgiving Lies and Deceiving Lies and really liked them also! When I finally got Trusting Liam I was so excited and I was not disappointed at all! I do highly recommend reading Taking Chances, Stealing Harper, Forgiving Lies and Deceiving Lies before Trusting Liam. I just found out that there is also Changing Everything that I have not read but will need to.

These books are really good love stories with conflicts, humor and sadness. The characters are great and books flow very nicely. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

67. Changing Everything: A Forgiving Lies Novella by Molly McAdams - 5 stars.

I read this book after reading Trusting Liam and loved it just as much. This book probably should be read before Trusting Liam but did not have to be.

ER Review:

ER book review:

I really enjoyed this book. When I found out I was getting it from LT Early Reviews I realized it was the third book of The Chances Are Series and I really do not like reading books out of order so I had to get the first two and read them first. This third book does have a few of the characters from the first two books but you really do not need to read the first two in order to read this one, however I am still glad I did. I do think I enjoyed this one the most. I look for other books from this author.
