ARC REVIEW: Unladylike Rules of Attraction by Amita Murray

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Unladylike Rules of Attraction is book two in the Regency romance series Marleigh Sisters by Amita Murray. Anya Marleigh is a court singer and sitar player who inherits a great fortune that comes as a shock to not only herself but also the family everyone assumed it would go to. The only catch is that to inherit, she must marry by the time she is twenty-five, or the money reverts to Damian Ashton, her trustee and a man whom very few trust. With only four months to find a suitor and marry, the ticking clock isn’t Anya’s only problem; Damian is both vexing and cold and oddly won’t stop plaguing her mind, and of course, the superior Budleigh’s are asking for the money that they believe should be rightly theirs, and everyone knows that desperate people will do desperate things. Will Anya come out of this unscathed? Will she crack Damian’s cold exterior? And will she lose the money that gave her hope for a different life?

REVIEW: Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Because of Miss Bridgerton is book 1 in the regency romance series Rokesbys, a Bridgerton prequel by Julia Quinn.

So when one cat causes Billie more pain than she bargained for, they are quite literally stuck with each other. Was that the first push they needed to notice that loathing each other was a complete waste of time?
