Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Harlequin(37)

Sharing the same island hideaway with gorgeous Selby Farnsworth and his mischievous son wasn't Abby's idea of heaven—especially with all the chaos created by the two Farnsworth men. TLC was in short supply and Abby seemed destined to dole it out in large doses. Selby, in return, seemed determined to dazzle her with kisses. Slowly but surely, the island was becoming paradise. Until a throng of reporters showed up demanding to know what Congressman Farnsworth was doing there—and just who was the lovely woman with him? And that's when Selby told them Abby was his wife! I thought that this story was cute. Selby was the kind of guy who had been burned by love and was wary of trusting his feelings again but he was honest about that and he was cute when pushing his luck. Abby was a great FL. I loved that she was tall and feisty and how good she was with being openly affectionate with Harry. All in all, a romantic and sweet story with some good laughs.

Jayne Nelson's life lacks pizzazz. She wants adventure…she wants romance…She wants Garrett Charles! Since her new boss is a hunky ex-model turned entrepreneur, Jayne's convinced that the only way she'll have a chance with him is to become as model-like as possible. Considering she's short and curvy, this could be difficult! Garrett Charles is fed up with women just interested in his good looks; Jane is the first person to treat him as an equal. Too bad she's determined to change—Garrett liked the old Jayne…. If only he can convince her to forget about makeovers and think about marriage! This story was lovely. Garrett was that kind of special guy who liked Jayne for who she really was, klutzy mess, curvy, dowdy and all. Being someone who you aren’t to be with a guy (or girl) will eventually fail. Better to be yourself and find someone who loves you just the way you are.

Sister Tabitha was an efficient nurse, but when it came to matters of the heart she was less sure of herself. So when she fell in love, she had no idea how to deal with her feelings. Was that why the Dutch surgeon Marius van Beek called her Cinderella? If only Marius would ride up on a white horse and ask for her hand in marriage. But people lived happily ever after only in fairy tales, didn't they? The story was nice in a fairy tale kind of way. It had a Cinderella style theme with the villainous step mother, vain and selfish step sister, charming and wealthy doctor and ofc the FL was Cinderella. Nice if you want something sugary sweet to read.

The only person that can save Sister Eleanor Lewis, seriously injured and held hostage, is emergency consultant Rory Hunter! Rory’s the father of Eleanor’s baby, only he doesn’t know it, and he has to rescue them both before time runs out… I really enjoyed this story. Eleanor (23yo) was a likeable FL who grew a lot as a character in her time working the busy ER. The story did a great job capturing the moments of intense demands on staff, including the sorrow when a life can’t be saved. Rory (35yo) was a great ML, he was hard to fault really. I loved the epilogue, it’s great to see a FL work to get it all in life and have that HEA with a good guy.

A rogue draped in a mantle of savagery and civilization was the only way to describe Peter Desmond, she'd decided. But Marianne Trenton shuddered to realize she was dangerously intrigued, indeed, beguiled, by the very man she'd sworn to destroy! Marianne Trenton was a jewel of young womanhood, shining with an innocence that radiated its own sweet allure. She'd appeared in Peter Desmond's life at the turn of a card, then turned his heart around...and he vowed to make her his own!

Hugh Davenport is the brooding and judgemental uncle to his orphaned niece (who is in need of a new nanny). Rebel Griffith arrives at Davenport Hall seeking connection to her mothers old life and is mistaken for the nanny. The 2 MCs start their romance with a focus on the estranged niece who seems to be burdened with the sins of her mother. The story sweetly followed Rebel making a connection with the lonely little girl and opening Hugh’s eyes to letting his bitterness stay away from his innocent little niece. No sexy scenes, this was very wholesome.
