SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN TEXANS JANUARY 26, 2017        Meet the seven Hart brothers of the 7-Heart ranch in central Texas. Each man is content in his independent life, without the responsibilities of a wife and children—until their father decides 1874 will be the year his grown sons finally marry, or they will be cut from his will. How will each man who values his freedom respond to the ultimatum? Can love develop on a timeline, or will it be sacrificed for the sake of an inheritance? MY THOUGHTS:          A sweet collection of seven novellas in which seven Texan men are on a timetable to get married in order to receive their inheritance. Filled with all ranges of personality, stubbornness, impatience but weaved into each book is longing, compatibility, manners, and of course, love! I truly enjoyable book.

JANUARY 24, 2017 I love to read Melanie Dickerson's books. She has the talent in bringing her characters to life.Whether it is her retelling of fairy tales or her Regency Spies of London series. You will not what to put any of the books down. So, grab the book and join Leorah and Withinghall as they search for the truth of who is trying to destroy him and if the stuffy viscount can win the heart of the lady. Blessings, Karen I received this book as a gift. All opinions are my own Rating 5* Leorah Langdon has no patience for Regency society’s shallow hypocrisy and unnecessary rules, especially for women. She’s determined to defy convention by marrying for grand passion instead of settling for a loveless union like her parents—or wedding a stuffy, pompous gentleman like Edward, the Viscount Withinghall. But when a chance meeting in the countryside leads to Leorah and Withinghall being discovered in his overturned carriage—alone and after dark—the ensuing gossip may force
