GOODREADS

Step into Rare Confectionery on New Bond Street, where three talented sisters create treats as delectable to the tongue as they are appealing to the eye. One taste is all it takes to be captivated...

Charlotte hasn't had anything go wrong in her blissful existence as a confectioner. Always smiling, she loves working with her sisters, and she adores her customers. Moreover, she holds a secret in her heart.

The Viscount Jeffcoat watches the joy disappear from the eyes of the most appealing woman he knows, as sweet as her marzipan creations. Desperately trying to right whatever wrong she is facing, he hopes to woo and win her, only to discover the unthinkable.

When it seems all she has ever cherished will be lost—and by her own carelessness—Charlotte turns to the one man who has promised her nothing while giving her everything. Can she and Lord Jeffcoat overcome betrayal and ruin to build a life of love and laughter?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Charlotte Rare-Foure makes the Marzipan confection at the family's shop in New Bond Street.  With her sisters' recent marriages more of the work has been on her shoulders. Everything is going well and Charlotte finds someone to help out.  When things start to spin out of control there is one person who she can think of to help her. 

Charles,  Viscount Jeffcoat has known the Rare-Foure family since his friend married the eldest daughter, and has always seen Charlotte as flighty and immature. He soon learns there is much more to her than he believes. 

The daughter of a shopkeeper is maybe not refined enough for a serious minded Viscount and barrister,  but her sparkling,  happy personality can't help but draw everyone to her. 

This is a fast paced sweet historical story that will be better if you have read the previous books in the series,  but still enjoyable on it's own.  

Really good fun.

Step into Rare Confectionery on New Bond Street, where three talented sisters create treats as delectable to the tongue as they are appealing to the eye. One taste is all it takes to be captivated…

Greer Carson needs a wife, and not merely any wife, either. She must be a titled British lady so he can claim his inheritance—a country estate all but abandoned for a generation.

Beatrice can make treacle toffee without a doubt, the best in London! Yet sometimes she dreams of doing more with her life. When a handsome American comes into Rare Confectionery seeking assistance, she grabs hold of the opportunity for adventure with both hands.

Join Beatrice and Greer as they infiltrate the highest ranks of London’s aristocracy searching for spouses. As they each get closer to their goal, oddly enough, only the impossible choice becomes the most appealing one.

Engaging characters, attention to period detail, and heartfelt romance — you’ll find it all in the stories by USA Today bestselling author of historical romance, Sydney Jane Baily. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Beatrice Rare-Foure makes beautiful treacle toffee in her family's confectionary.  They tend to keep her in the kitchen because she's not very good with some of the snooty customers.  This time though she's on her own because one sister is on honeymoon and the other has the sniffles.  Trying to keep her toffee from burning and serve someone who has no idea what they want is not best for her temper.

Greer Carson is a newly arrived American.  He needs to marry a titled Lady to qualify for his inheritance. Although he has more than enough money, the house and land in Scotland calls to his heart.  He has a lot to learn before any "Lady" will even look at him.  

This is a sweet historical romance filled with fun loving characters.  Our misfits have a connection that will let them have entry to events of The season, but will they be able to do what they want.  

This is the second book in the series,  and while it is better to read them in order you can read each on it's own.  

Great fun.

GOODREADS

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston is as tough as they come, and he and his K-9, Saxon, are hot on the trail of a major illegal gun dealer. But his best lead—the beautiful owner of the Dog Park Café, Andi Hardt––is not cooperating. Doesn't matter how sexy she is, or that his dog seems to be in love with her. She's a suspect and he won't cross that line. Ever.

Andi Hardt sank everything into her dream business—the Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as people. Now everything is in jeopardy because of one extremely frustrating, incredibly hot state trooper. Like it or not, she's in Nick's crosshairs, and he's calling the shots. Her only option: cooperate, or lose everything she's worked so hard for.

Nick and Andi are catapulted straight into the danger zone, forcing them to make life-altering choices, and face their desires. Risking his life for Andi is the easy part. Risking his heart is the toughest assignment Nick will face.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nick Houston  and his K9 partner are on the trail of a nasty gang of gun runners.  Nothing and nobody will stop them from getting the guns off the streets.

Andi Hardt owns a very special restaurant.  It's out in the countryside with a huge dog park attached.  People can run their dogs and have a nice place to eat or drink while the dogs play. She doesn't expect to be under suspicion of a major crime.  

A very exciting romantic suspense with fabulous characters ( some with 2 legs and 4) . This is the second book in the series but easily read on it's own.  I read this one first and am now going back to read the first one. I know the characters from it but not the story.  

I loved every page.
