The Betrayal of the Blood Lily

The Betrayal of the Blood Lily by Lauren Willig


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Eloise is planning on enjoying her first Valentines Day with Colin and the only thing to make it better would be to get his little sister happily hooked up so they can have more time together and she can spend more time research the Pink Carination but during her research she discovers Colin's family has a secret no one will tell. Torn between wanting to know and wanting to respect Colin’s privacy, Eloise decides to dedicate herself to researching Penelope Deveraux.

In a moment of pure rebellion and stupid Penelope Deveraux was forced to marry Frederick Staines and the happy couple was sent off to India until the scandal they caused dies down. Only married life is not as mice as it seems and Penelope true to form gets involved in a mystery and the dashing Capt' Alex Reid seems to be in the middle of it. And Penelope can’t decide if she wants to flirt with the Caption or spy on him.

I love these books and this has been one of my favorites full of intrigue and exotic locations this book has everything you could want. Great fun to read, I have already started on the next book in the series.

The Temptation of the Night Jasmine

The Temptation of the Night Jasmine by Lauren Willig


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Charlotte Lansdown is a bookworm memebr of the Ton. Shy and overly romantic she is delighted when a very distant relative Robert Duke of Dovedale returns home to claim his birthright. Or did he? Robert has really come home to pursue the man who killed his mentor not to persue Charlotte. Soon they both realize that more is at stake than their budding romance. French spies are every where and they must undertake a dangerous mission to save King and Country.

I do enjoy this series and Charolette is one of my favorite characters in Pink Cranations growing list of heriones. And I do love to wrap myself up in the mystery and romance but the true reason I keep reading the series is so that I can follow the romance of Collin and Eloise. I want to skip ahead to those parts of the books just so I can find out what happens next time them. Its a story within a story.

If you are a fan of historical romances I highly reccomend this series.
