RRR presents... A Gentleman's Offer by Emma Orchard - REVIEW!


Ready for another addition to your TBR? Fan of Historical Romance with a dash of spice? Well then, lend me your ear, or rather your eyes, as we take a look at the title currently touring with Rachel's Random Resources and featured here today...



A Gentleman's Offer
by
Emma Orchard

About the book...
The gorgeous and spicy new romance from Emma Orchard, perfect for everyone waiting for their next Bridgerton fix!

June, 1817
Sir Dominic De Lacy – one of the season’s most eligible gentlemen – has recently proposed marriage… to a woman he scarcely knows. But his father’s choice for him, Miss Maria Nightingale, seems amiable, and at 29, Dominic cannot live the life of a bachelor forever. He hopes he can provide a happy future for her as they learn to care for each other.

Maria, however, has other ideas. Midway through their engagement celebrations, she confesses to Dominic that she is not Maria at all, but her identical twin sister, Margaret. Maria has disappeared, and Margaret’s been persuaded to take her place until she’s found – and for that she needs Dominic’s help. The pair quickly find they make a formidable team, but with just three weeks to avoid the biggest scandal of the season, time is against them.

But even if they find Maria, can they really hope the wedding will happen? Because, as they are starting to realise, chemistry can’t be arranged – and Sir Dominic might just be engaged to the wrong Miss Nightingale…





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Toted for fans of Bridgerton, I, myself, have not had the pleasure of watching the show (I know, I know... one day!), but I've heard the buzz like the rest, and I certainly have the book series on my never-ending TBR. As a fan of Historical Romance, this one caught my attention immediately, and I simply had to know more!  Mistaken identity (even if only for a short while), false pretenses, a missing person, and undeniable chemistry... THAT'S what you're in store for with this gem!  It certainly makes a case for the heart wanting what the heart wants... and these two definitely want 😉.

All in all, a great addition to the genre, and a fabulous tale. You'll revel in the setting, fall in love with the characters, get lost in the mystery, and wind up bookishly satisfied. 😌

About the author...


Emma Orchard grew up in Salford and was given tickets to the grown-up library at the age of 11 because she’d read all the children’s books and the librarians were sick of the sight of her. She became obsessed with Georgette Heyer and hasn’t stopped reading her novels since. She studied English Literature at university and went on to work at Mills & Boon and behind the scenes in television and in publishing.

AWARENESS TOUR: Alycat and the Copycat by Alysson Foti Bourque, Illustrated by Chiara Civati - REVIEW + GIVEAWAY!


Today, we welcome The Children's Book Review as we join their AWARENESS TOUR already in progress featuring the latest addition to a great kid's series you won't want to miss! Let's get between the epages of author Alysson Foti Bourque's recent release starring your favorite feline friend and mine...


Illustrated by Chiara Civati
Ages: 6-8 | 32 Pages
9781455628094
Pelican Publishing

The 8th book in the award-winning Alycat Series – Alycat and the Copycat

“Science doesn’t freak meowt!” Alycat is excited that it’s Science Fair Day, but why is her classmate copying almost everything about her, from the shirt she’s wearing to the project she’s doing? Soon Alycat learns, through patience and kindness, that two similar things can be better when they work together. This latest addition to the kitten picture-book series includes STEM themes; plus instructions for making your own glitter volcano!







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



This story had me freaking MEOWt! 
I love the STEM themes because, let's face it, we need more women in these fields. The love of the subject matter is shown through her volcano experiment as well as get attire. I love the vibrant colors used throughout the illustrated pages. They really capture the eye, while snagging your heart, letting you catch all the feels running around in this story. Speaking of feelings, we've got a great shot of confidence for wee ones embracing these harder subjects early on, and making them their own, plus encouragement from friends, friendship vibes in general, and learning that the things we love and the fields we extend our interests to are better for the extra attention from others than not. In this case, her "copycat" who really is just another kindred spirit that shared her interests... but I get it, it can be hard to recognize it as such at first glance... which makes it all the better that stories like this help introduce those ideas at a young age!

A great addition to the series, and a story that readers both young and young at heart will love.
