Hello fellow historical romance lovers! April was a fun month for books. I read a wide variety of ARCs this month. In total, I read nine books, all ARCs
April ARC List
- The Design Of Dukes, book two in the Beautiful Barrington series by Kathleen Ayers
- The Young And The Ruined, a collection of various authors
- Winter’s Warrior, book thirteen in the Wicked Winters series by Scarlett Scott
- Charming Dr. Forrester, book one in the Garden Girls series by Jemma Frost
- Heiress In Red Silk, book two in the A Duke’s Heiress series by Madeline Hunter
- Letters To A Lover, book two in the Crime & Passion series by Mary Lancaster
- How To Train Your Earl, book three in the First Comes Love series by Amelia Grey
- Cocky Viscount, book four in the Regency Cocky Gents series by Annabelle Anders
- Lady Lawless, book five in the Notorious Ladies Of London series by Scarlett Scott
It was a slower month than April, I still didn’t get to my joy reading. So far May looks pretty slow for ARCs, so hopefully I will put a dent in my TBR stack! There is one book of the month, my favorite ARC.
Favorite ARC Of The Month

This was an easy decision. Cocky Viscount by Annabelle Anders shone a little brighter. This series caught my eye and all the books have been excellent. Cocky Viscount is my favorite in the series. Mantis and Felicity were wonderful characters. Their story resonated with me. The plot was excellent and engaging. The author created a story that grabbed my attention and never let go!

My Review
A Look Ahead
So far I have six ARCs planned for May, as always that is subject to change.
- A Harlot At The Highland Court, book twelve in the Highland Ladies series by Celeste Barclay
- Clad In Midnight, book eight in the Colors Of Scandal series by Sandra Sookoo
- Tempting Fate, book four in the Goode Girls series by Kerrigan Byrne
- Her Scottish Scoundrel, book seven in the Diamonds In The Rough series by Sophie Barnes
- Undercover Duke, book four in the Duke Dynasty series by Sabrina Jefferies
- How To Survive A Scandal, book one in the Rebels With A Cause series by Samara Parish
These are the non ARC books that are on my TBR list. A lot of these are catch up on series I have started in the middle. I really don’t like starting in the middle of a series, but it happens!
- A Spinster At The Highland Court, book one in the Highland Ladies series by Celeste Barclay
- All The Regency Cocky Gents series by Annabelle Anders I have not read. This includes: Cocky Baron, Cocky Mister, and Earl Of Temptest
- Marquess Of Mayhem, book three in the Sins And Scoundrels series by Scarlett Scott
- The Kiss Of A Viscount, book one in the Daughters Of The Aristocracy series by Linda Rae Sande
- Her Husband’s Harlot, book one in the Mayhem In Mayfair series by Grace Callaway
- Two Books I missed in the Time Travelers Highland Love series by Tamara Gill: To Conquer A Scot and To Save A Savage Scot
I had a slower reading month in April. I hope to do a lot of joy reading in May. I need to play catch-up on a lot of series. I hope it is an enjoyable, productive May!
