As you can see Summer has arrived.

 I have so many rand my review to write its insane. I feel horrible I haven't been on top of the blog and my excuse is summer with 4 kids.  We have been swimming every other day. Two went to camp, two went to grandpas and my hubby treated me to a getaway to my happy place Disneyland.  

Even though that pretty much happened all in the same week. The prep lasted almost two week add in lovely friend MCTD flare up.  I pretty much just survive each day.  since returning from my 3 days away from Motherhood life I am still dealing with a flare up but jus the tail end of it. Unpacking and washing all the clothing used or not used during came has taken up most the last two days.

I AM BACK!!

Until family reunion in a few weeks.  Which I believe will be a total of 42 people in one house Give or take a an adult, adult grandchild or baby grandchild. 

Pray for our souls or as my teenager would say "You don't have a soul to pray for." Pray we make it home in time for school starting last week in July.

Book Review: A Duke in Time (The Widow Rules #1) by Janna MacGregor

 

Title:  Duke in Time (The Widow Rules #1)

Author: Janna MacGregor 

Stars: 4

Review:

Imagine, if you will, being a recent window, whose marriage was not consummated, and finding out at the reading of the will that you are one of three wife's of the deceased. This knowledge is very hard to take in as one of the other two is very much pregnant. The deceased's older brother (a recently minted Duke) wishes to wash his hands of the whole matter as he considered his younger brother to be a scoundrel and a rake. Our heroine takes in the other two wifes and tries to avoid a scandal. Gradually the Duke begins to see the proverbial light and beauty of our heroine and nature starts to take it's natural course.

An enjoyable read which I would rate 4 stars. (Thank you Frank for your review!)

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Synopsis:

Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives.

Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is…problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he?
