The Darcys Give a Ball

by Elizabeth Newark
- Rated 3 stars
“Just OK, there are definitely better ones out there, but still it was cute and nice to visit the Pride and Prejudice characters again. It was a little odd however that characters from other Austen novels made an appearance, but many times without introduction and very quick.”

To Wed a Wicked Earl

by Olivia Parker
- Rated 4 stars
“I would give the first half of this book a 3 because it was very slow moving and didn't contain the funny witty quips from the characters like in her first novel. The second half however gains momentum and it was hilarious. Parker's new book isn't as good as the first one but I will definitely read another one of her books when they come out.”

Lost in Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure

by Emma Campbell Webster
- Rated 3 stars
“This book is Pride and Prejudice but you get to make the decisions for Elizabeth. She could end up with Darcy, one of the other men from Austen's works, or fail her mission to marry. Fun, but time consuming because of keeping track of the scores and what not. Some of the decisions were slightly out of the ordinary but I still think it deserves 3 stars.”

I Had the Right to Remain Silent...But I Didn't Have the Ability

by Ron White
- Rated 3 stars
“Ron White on the stage performing is so much better. He is much funnier when he is telling the story. There are nice additions about his life though that I found very interesting.”

Desperate Duchesses

by Eloisa James
- Rated 3 stars
“I really wanted to give this book 4 stars, but I couldn't. I really liked the hero, Damon, but I found that James focused too much on the side characters. She was so busy setting up the story, that I didn't feel like Roberta and Damon got the book they deserved. I really hope the rest of the series won't feel like this. I have really enjoyed her other work and am willing to keep reading.”

The Virgin's Secret

by Victoria Alexander
- Rated 3 stars
“This book was just ok. I wasn't really feeling the relationship between Gabriella and Nate until the end of the book, and most of the middle was just about the mystery of finding an ancient seal. I hope that the rest of this series will be better than this book. ”

Snowy Night with a Stranger

by Jane Feather, Sabrina Jeffries
- Rated 3 stars
“When reading an anthology, I know to expect that I may not like a story, but I was really disappointed with Jane Feather's story. I was not interested in the plot and failed to continue the story after 20 pages. That said, I love Sabrina Jeffries' story and she had me laughing to whole way through. I also enjoyed Julia London's story, though the second half was much much better than the first half of her short story. Overall the anthology gets 3 stars.”

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

by J. K. Rowling
- Rated 3 stars
“I thought this was a little bit disappointing because it was barely 100 pages, if you want to call the pages full. The one story I did really enjoy was the one with the Three Brothers. Dumbledore's commentary was interesting enough, but I feel as if so much more could have been added to make this a much better book, even if it is intended for children. So I thought it was just average.”

Fern (Seven Brides)

by Leigh Greenwood
- Rated 5 stars
“This is the second book in the series. Madison and Fern were truly lovable characters as well as the rest of the Randolph family. I really enjoyed this novel and I look forward to reading the rest of the Seven Brides series.”
