Sir Andrew and the Authoress

Like the rest of the books in this series, I didn't have any complaints other than nothing really stood out.  It was a sweet story but not earthshatteringly amazing!

I can't think of anything that offended me so I could easily recommend it based on cleanliness.

A Companion for the Count

I admit, I finished this a while ago and just never got around to writing about it so hopefully I am remembering everything correctly.

Basically, what I can recall is that there was nothing offensive but also, nothing really stood out to me to set it apart from every other regular, sweet story.

So, I can recommend it based on cleanliness but probably won't just because it wasn't that exciting to me.

I will finish the series just to have a sense of completion but I'm not super excited about it.

Mr. Gardiner and the Governess

This was a very safe, clean book...the only problem was that I found it a little bland :(

There are two more in the series and I had mostly decided I wouldn't read them but at the very end of this story it gives you a glimpse into what the next one will be and it caught my attention a little bit.

I will probably give the second one a try but if it isn't any more intriguing than this one then I will most likely not read the third.

Again, it was perfectly clean and above reproach...just not super exciting.

I could recommend it based on content but probably won't based on interest.

A Haunting at Havenwood

I didn't write this right after I finished the book so I am going off of my poor memory but, from what I recall, there was nothing offensive in this book.

For some reason, I have a tendency to like heroes who stutter :)  I think it's endearing.

(I suppose it's only fitting that I married the amazing man that I did...in his younger years, before I knew him, he had a bit of a stutter.)

I liked this book but it isn't one of my top faves...just a pleasant read that I could recommend if asked about.

Rescuing Lord Inglewood

Almost gave this one four stars!

I loved it with the exception of just a few {Uncomfortable Moments}.

The characters were relatable and the story was sweet.

I'm really looking forward to reading the next two in this series!

Miss Devon's Choice

This is the fifth in the Branches of Love series and I felt like it was probably the cleanest...the others had a bit too much passion but for me, but this one was fine in that way.  The only thing that I could find against it was a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments}.  I thought the story was very sweet as well...the idea of choosing to love someone is powerful and I felt like Sally Britton did a fine job of basing a story around that concept.

I could recommend this one whole heartedly!

The Earl and His Lady

Another sweet story, although I think I will still claim #3 as my favorite.

In addition to the one minor overly descriptive intimate moment (just kissing) there were also a few {UM} in this one.  None of it would keep me from recommending the book though...all of it is still quite innocent.

His Bluestocking Bride

Out of the three I have read in this series so far, this was my favorite!

The story is just super sweet and endearing.

There was one part at the end that I felt was a mite too passionate for my tastes but over all it was a very lovely book.

The Gentleman Physician

Easily Recommend

This second book in the Branches of Love series has a little more of a subdued tone as there is a death but it was just as clean (with maybe just a little {TMP} for my taste) as the first.

Again, not a whole lot of depth too it but it was pleasant.

The Social Tutor

slightly {TMP}

I was told about this series by a friend who said she loved it so I was super excited when I requested if from my library and they purchased it and it came in very quickly!

This was a very clean novel with the {TMP} rating simply because it's more than I personally would have felt comfortable writing had I written this book :)  But really, it was fine.

The only other possible complaint I would have is that it is quite fluffy...not a whole lot of character building or anything else like that going on but it was a delightful read and I am excited to finish the rest of the series.
