Series - The Phoenix Club book 2

Genre - Regency/Romance

Rating - 5 out of 5 stars


This book was very well written and I absolutely loved it! It is definitely one you can read as a stand alone if you have not read the first book. Although I loved this one so much I am going to go back and read the first one called Invitation so I can catch up a bit.


This book is about a man that has a ward he knew nothing about thrust upon him with little notice. This man has been a rake for several years and when the ward comes for her first season in London he also decides it is time to settle down and marry. With a little nudge from his father’s will.


The ward herself is from a small country town and never expected to have a season in London, with the benefits that come with it. She has little interest in marrying and only wants to explore new things. She has a keen interest in maps and the parks where promenades happen. She has little skill on the dance floor that leads to some mishaps along the way.


All along the way there is talk of this “Phoenix Club” and talk of the hero of the story being a part of it. They even host assemblies where anyone who has a relative or sponsor that is a part of the “Phoenix Club’s” exclusive member list can come. It is the ward’s deepest desire to attend one of these. She gets her wish but at what cost.


Will either of the two find love in a society where it is so commonplace to enter in marriage with no love at all? Well I guess you will have to read the book to find out.

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
