Okay, so this is another perfect regency romance from the great Barbara Metzger. Melody Ashton is a hilarious heroine who may be young, but boy does she have spunk! Meanwhile, Corey is hero of all heroes. He is brave, manly, but just sensitive enough to care deeply for his sister...and loves children even if he won't admit it at first.
The secondary characters are a hoot and the plot is well-thought out. At no time was I bored. I read a lot of books, so I have an awful habit of skimming when things slow down. But this book I devoured word for word.
This book takes the place of Miss Lockharte's Letters as my all-time-favorite Metzger book. And I really loved that book.
5 Stars plus 10!!!

Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt
Elizabeth Hoyt is definitely one of my auto-buys. I really, really like the Maiden Lane series and strangely enough, I am not yet bored and was surprised that this is already book 5. Each book is centered around the same theme of the Ghost of St. Giles, but through Ms. Hoyt's writing skill, each book seems completely fresh, each introduces interesting characters, and I am always surprised at the ease she closes each book without it feeling rushed.
In this case, Godric (love the name) and Megs are two people with a heartbreaking past love story. What is interesting is that Megs is the one who wants to move on and live, while Godric (again, LOVE the NAME) just is pursuing his cause with a tenacity that will surely leave him dead.
While this book is definitely steamy, it is also full of great dialogues, surprises, and interaction with characters from the previous series. Everyone stays in character and Ms. Hoyt pretty much accomplishes a rare feat...she successfully introduces the characters in the next book. And I can't wait until November!!!!!

It Happened One Midnight by Julie Anne Long
Wow is all I can say about this latest book from Julie Anne Long. This is book #8 in her Pennyroyal Green series and I can seriously say this one is very close to the wonderful book #1 The Perils of Pleasure.
Tommy is a great, do-it-herself kind of girl who is not only beautiful on the outside, but downright amazing on the inside. Her life story is one of trial, success, sacrifice and finally...reward. I want to be her. Jonathan is the seemingly complete opposite, except for the beautiful part. He has been raised in a wealthy household, but also needs to fight for any respect.
Their first meeting was a scene I will look forward to reading every time I pick up the book. For this one time, I am not going to detail all the aspects I liked or disliked. I just recommend you buy or borrow this book from a library. It is that good.
Five Stars!!!!
