Short and Sweet Book Reviews #143 - Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase, Sugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thane, A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller

Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I missed this book when it came out. I read the first three in the Dressmakers series and was surprised to see that Lady Clara Fairfax was getting her own story after being a side character in the first books in the series. Lady is Clara is anything but a proper lady. It turns out what she needs is someone like Oliver Redford. What starts out as a simple hunt for a missing boy turns out to be very dangerous. Lady Clara has to keep reminding Oliver about the restriction put on women and how she does have a brain and knows how to use it. They are a match made somewhere besides heaven but a very fun match indeed. A nice addition to the series.  


Sugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another Caine bites the dust but not without some drama and uncertainty. Librarian Julia Winston is ready for change in her life. It comes with Jamie Caine renting her upstairs apartment at the same time she takes two young boys who need a temporary home. It was fun to see Jamie who never lets a woman get to close being drawn into Julia's life and wanting to stay there. I liked the way the book once again brought two series and the character in the two together in a very nice story. Pick this up for a nice Christmas story and a nice addition to the Haven Point series. It can stand alone but is more fun if you have read the previous books.


A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raine McCall and Mick Branson seem to be opposites and should not have any thing in common. Turns out that is wrong. Miller tells their story in two parts. One is a unfinished novel written by McCall's great grandfather. It is about a greenhorn and a independent western woman. Seems Raine is the independent woman and Mick is the greenhorn. It made for a fascinating story as Mick finishes the novel and he and Raine find that they have much more in common than anyone thought. I loved both Raine and Mick and it was great to see independent Raine finally get her HEA.
