I have a mental block about this book and it defeated me.

Miss Wonderful (The Carsington Brothers, #1) by Loretta Chase

May 4, 2023 by narfna 2 Comments

I first tried to read this book several years back on e-book, which I had checked out from the library. I had it out for months and never got past a third of the way through. I resigned myself to trying again later. Later came in March of this year because I wanted to get back into Loretta Chase, and this book was standing in my way. I got my hands on a physical copy and commenced reading. I started from the beginning, and things […]

November 27, 2017 by Emmalita 3 Comments

This was a good weekend for finding books on my Kindle. Malin and Mrs. Julien have done the lord’s work in convincing me to move past whatever reluctance I had about reading Loretta Chase. Miss Wonderful is my third Chase this year. I must say, she writes a great heroine and some excellent banter. Alistair Carsington is the third of five sons. His father has announced Alistair must find a way to support himself, or marry an heiress, within 6 months because he is expensive to […]
