Book Review: Julia Quinn's A Night Like This

Anne Wynter’s job as governess to three highborn young ladies can be a challenge – in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he’s the first man who has truly tempted her, and it’s getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.

Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger, but that’s not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family’s annual musicale, he vows to pursue her. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending 

THIS BOOK THO.

Oh good lord, this book made me have so many feels for it. I read this before but I could never finish it (bad Brittany *hits self on hand*) but I honestly love this book. It starts with Daniel drunkenly shoots his friend Hugh in the leg after Hugh says, in a drunken way, that he cheated. Hugh’s father, Lord Ramsgate, threatened to kill Daniel and so it made him run to a different country. 

Two years later, at the (horrible) concert the Smythe-Smith girls put on every year (I had to cover my ears because it was that horrible), Miss Anne Wynter had to perform on the piano and then when Daniel’s coming home, he instantly falls in love with Anne and then the love between Anne (aka Annelise Shawcross) and the Earl of Winstead Daniel Smythe-Smith. Which ended me in tears in my eyes. 

I loved this book a whole lot. I had so many emotions that I ended up loving this book (as always). I really do reconmend this book a whole lot and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Book Review: Lord of Temptation by Lorraine Heath

Three young heirs, imprisoned by an unscrupulous uncle, escaped--to the sea, to the streets, to faraway battle--awaiting the day when they would return to reclaim their birthright.

Once upon a time, he was Lord Tristan Easton--now he is Crimson Jack, a notorious privateer beholden to none, whose only mistress is the sea. But all that will change when exquisite Lady Anne Hayworth hires his protection on a trip into danger and seduction. . .

Desperation brought Anne to the bronzed, blue-eyed buccaneer. But after the Captain demands a kiss as his payment, desire will keep her at his side. She has never known temptation like this--but to protect her heart, she knows she must leave him behind. Yet Tristan cannot easily forget the beauty--and when they meet again in a London ballroom, he vows he won't lose her a second time, as fiery passion reignited takes them into uncharted waters that could lead the second lost lord home. 

So I got done reading this book tonight and...I can't. This book made me cry at the end. I've pretty much been reading this book and I just couldn't put it down. This book was actually mailed to me by Avon Books and I just couldn't put it down.

So when Lady Anne Hayworth asked Captain Crimson Jack aka Tristan Easton to take her to her dead lover's grave, he accepts....but for one kiss. She agress and the both of them goes to her dead lover's grave thanks to the map given to Anne by one Florence Nightingale, who was called 'Lady with the Lamp' who worked at the Crimean War as a nurse and once she got to Scutari, she couldn't find her dead lover's grave, so she fell to her knees and cried, Tristan holding her in his arms. That night they made love and then for a while Anne wasn't feeling herself so Tristan took her to the Crow's Nest and she enjoyed it. 

Once they got back to London, Anne tried so hard to resist Tristan's advances but she couldn't and then when it came time to her wedding to Marquess Chetwyn, he confessed that he didn't love her and that she loved Tristan. So in the end they got married and had two girls. And weddings make me cry, so imagine me crying ugly tears. I really do recommend this book a whole lot because you will get feels for it.
