The Lady Travelers Guide to Larceny with a Dashing Stranger by Victoria Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fun romp that is a travelog as well as a romance. The book takes place in various locations in Europe and the info about each adds to the feel of the story. The relationship between Lady Wilhelmina Bascombe and Dante Augustus Montague' is a train wreck just waiting to happen so when it does it is no surprise. However how they still work together helps and in the end both realize what is the most important thing and what is not as important as it seemed at first. A nice addition to the series.

Dangerously Divine by Deborah Blake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book two in the Broken Riders series. That series is a spin off from the Baba Yaga series. I have not read any of the previous books and at times I did feel like I was missing some background. Even so I had no trouble keep up with the characters and the story line. I liked the two main characters. Gregory Sun is the ultimate strong and silent type. In his case that is not a strength. Ciera Evans has a very big secret in her past and she keeps to herself to protect that secret. The two keep trying to protect themselves by keeping apart. Does not work that well. I enjoyed the world building, backstory and plot. A very interesting romance mixed with a lot of danger and tension.

The Rule of Luck by Catherine Cerveny
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Felicia Savigny can read the future using her cards. Alexei Petriv plans to bring change to the world. Oh! This is the world of 2950 - a world left over and made over after sweeping changes to the planet. The world building here is top rate, the back story well covered and believable, and the plot tension filled and exciting. Cerveny has created a future and story line that starts off with a bang and does not let up on the tension until the last page. A cannot put down story.
