I'm a reader, reviewer, and published author at Cobblestone Press. In this blog, I focus mainly on the books I read: primarily romance in almost every subgenre, with the occasional true-crime book thrown in for a little variety.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy preserving my photos through the art of scrapbooking. I also love scented candles, though of course I don't burn them too close to my books or scrapbooking supplies. :) I also enjoy watching A&E programs such as Cold Case Files and American Justice.

May TBR Challenge: Miss Wilson's Reputation

Since I enjoyed doing Keishon's TBR challenge once already and I have plenty of books TBR, I decided to read a second book.

1. Title/Author of Book
Miss Wilson's Reputation
by Martha Kirkland

2. Brief Synopsis
Harriet Wilson helps Rand Dunford after he is attacked in the street. He fights off his attackers but is injured in the process. Harriet brings him in and tends to him, not realizing that he is a baron.

3. Copyright Year
2002

4. Did you like or dislike it?
I enjoyed it very much: 4 out of 5.

5. Was it designated a DIK or Five-Heart book at any review sites?
No, actually, it received a 3 at The Romance Reader and C at All about Romance. I didn't buy the book based on reviews, though.

6. Do you agree or disagree with the reviewers?
Both AAR and TRR reviews talk about the overblown language. I noticed that at times, but it didn't bother me as much as it apparently bothered the reviewers. I enjoyed Miss Wilson's Reputation more than they did. I enjoyed the dialogue between the main characters and thought their romance progressed nicely.

7. Is this a new author for you?
Yes.

8. If you answered yes to question 4, would you read more by this author?
Yes.

Next month's challenge is to read a romantic suspense from my TBR list. With any luck, I'll be able to read two books for that challenge, too.

Nice. I wanted to do this challenge, but not sure if I'll have time to do one before the end of the month. Maybe I'll do a belated one and then do the month's challenge too. I've got plenty of romantic suspense books here to read.

I know I have several romantic suspense books to choose from. I like the TBR challenges; they are actually helping me do something about my monster TBR pile.
