A Groom of One's Own
Great story, well written. So happy to read a story that had a good proof reader, not having to wade through countless misspelled words. Look forward to reading the next book.
A groom of one’s own
This book was an okay read. Some parts were really good and some so boring I skipped over large sections. To much repeating of same telling...almost as if author was trying to stick to word counting instead of leading the reader along the way of the story. Characters “the double Duke” I found to be shallow and Ms Harlow seem to be uninteresting at times. I did enjoying reading parts with the Prince.
For me will have to say 1) quick read 1st time 2) Not put in a reread classification
Great Read!
Loved this book! This author had a great sense of humor and storytelling. Loved the romance and the drama. This was a great read for 99 cents! Couldn't put it down!
