Stacking the Shelves July 28, 2012

Welcome to my Stacking The Shelves post!  Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews so follow the link and check out what other stacked on their shelves this week.  

Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, I'm sharing with you my excitement over my newest books.

I had Ghost Country by Patrick Lee on reserve at the Library since I read The Breach.  It came in this week and book three, Deep Sky, was on the shelves so and since there is a .50 charge to reserve I checked it out too.   All three are Science Fiction and I have already finished the last two.  I also checked out A Lily Among Thorns by Rose Lerner.  I read In For a Penny in 2010 and really enjoyed it so when I saw this one on the new book shelf I could not resist.  And there are other books.

In For A Penny by Rose Lerner

Regency Romance

In For a Penny is the first published novel for Rose Lerner. I purchased the book after reading a recommendation on one of the Yahoo Groups I belong too
.
This is a very good first Regency Romance. There are a few flaws in the book but the story is so engaging they are easy to overlook. Rose Lerner has managed to bring a new twist to the rich manufacturing heiress marrying the destitute aristocrat. Lord Levinstoke needs a rich wife and Penelope (Penny) Brown fits the bill. She wants a marriage based on companionship and mutual esteem, he promises to give her that in exchange for her money. Both know what the other expects. As soon as they marry all of their troubles should be over. Of course when they arrive at Nev’s family home instead of all the troubles being over they just seem to multiply.

I think that Rose Lerner is an author to watch. For a refreshing Regency Romance be sure to pick up In For a Penny and watch for her next book Lily Among Thorns in January of 2011.

Leisure Books published In For a Penny by Rose Lerner in 2010.

I purchased In For a Penny from Borders.
