When the Duke Returns by Eloisa James

I really enjoyed the characters in this one. It's part of a loose series. By that I mean there are characters referenced and that play a small part in the book that are in the other books, but they are independent and sometimes overlapping storylines.

I don't think I have read them all so I need to find the rest.

Basically this was a good little historical with a decent plot and without too much unnecessary drama.

I will post about this one later...

Heart of Courage by Kat Martin

Third in Kat Martin's series about the Heart to Heart Gazette. This one was the brother I was looking forward to, and coincidentally fit in for my Eye Spy Challenge of a title with "heart" in it from the book group.

Of course I was already familiar with the characters before this one and enjoyed their romance immensely.

There were a couple of times that I laughed, a moment when I almost cried, and even a "oh my gosh they are not going to let that happen to her" moment.

There is something so attractive about the idea of a Viking - or an almost Viking - thrust into a world where he has to learn his way... or maybe that's just me.

Overall a very entertaining couple of hours. I would recommend it to those who like historical romance.
