Review: Let Love Find You by Johanna Lindsey


 
Let Love Find You
(Reid Family #4)
by Johanna Lindsey

In her last two seasons, Amanda Locke has been passed by like a wallflower. Though she is beautiful and charming, there is something about her that causes all the eligible men to steer away from her. Now, her father, the Duke of Norford is prepared to take drastic measures to ensure that his daughter is well-cared for. As Amanda enters her third season, she is hopeful to find her true love.

Except she encounters Cupid instead. Cupid is a moniker given to Devin Baldwin, a horse breeder who has the uncharacteristic talent in matchmaking. After introducing several couples together that have resulted in a happy marriage, he has been deemed as Cupid. How fitting! The name irritates Devin, but it makes the story so much more fun.

To ensure that Amanda catches the eye of noblemen who are interested in horse racing, Amanda must learn to overcome her fear of horses. This is not an easy task for Devin, whose personality is not the most patient. But I loved how Devin pushed her. Lindsey is known for her battle of the wills storyline and LET LOVE FIND YOU is a classic. Devin does not pull any punches. He tells Amanda how it is and I think this takes Amanda aback.

The banter between these two was priceless. Lindsey is just so great at dialogue and with two strong wills, it’s always a competition to see who will reign. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about it, though sometimes I did feel like some dialogue went on for too long.

In the end, I’m looking forward to reading some more of Johanna Lindsey’s books. She is such a great storyteller! LET LOVE FIND YOU is a sweet story involving two people who believe in love, but just didn’t realize that they’d find love in each other.

Review: Love Me Forever by Johanna Lindsey

Love me Forever
by Johanna Lindsey
Sherring Cross #2

There are two reasons that I am pleased I have read this, one, because I haven't read any Johanna Lindsey in a while and it was nice to come back to her and two, it was number 21 on my to-read list! Which means that it has been on my reading list for ages if you have seen the size of my to-read shelf! So, double whammy!

This is the second in the Sherring Cross series, although it can be read as a standalone, the main characters from Man of My Dreams are in this alot, but you don't need to have read that book to understand or enjoy this one. Lachlan MacGregor is all the S's, Sexy, Scottish and unfortunately for him Skint, the only way out of his predicament is to marry a rich bride. Kimberley Richards needs to marry fast so she can leave her fathers house, the only requirement her indifferent father has is that he isn't Scottish...

I can never resist a Highlander, and Lachlan was no different, it helped that he was also big *drool* and brawny *grabs tissue for the drool* with a wicked sense of humour *screw the tissue, get me a bucket* so I liked this book straight away, but what I also thought was fantastic was Kimberley, she was funny and not afraid to stand up for herself. I like a book with a great hero but I love a book when you can also like the heroine.

The story was pretty standard historical fare, she didn't think he loved her, but they have to marry anyway, but ofcourse everyone but the heroine knows that's bull, but I found the whole book really entertaining and I am glad I have revived my love for Johanna Lindsey.
