For Elise

This is another one that deals with a hard topic (rape) {Subject Matter} but it is handled tastefully and I did not have a problem with how it was presented.
It is a beautiful story of reclaimed friendship.
Sweet characters and great plot.
I would have no qualms recommending this book.

Drops of Gold

I remember from when I read this series years ago that this had been one of my favorites.
Rereading it was a pleasure.
I only give it the {Subject Matter} rating because it deals with suicide.  It is handled well though and I don't have any issues with my teenage daughter reading it.
Lovely characters and sweet story...as always from Sarah Eden
Easily recommendable!

A sweet story.
I didn't feel like I got to know the hero as well as I would have liked...his personality wasn't shown very well I feel.  There were also one or two loose ends that I thought the author would tie up at the end but didn't so that was a little disappointing.  However, I did like this book.  The inevitable misunderstanding was predictable and frustrating but maybe that's how these books are supposed to go :)
I could recommend this book without hesitation...nice and clean!

Friends and Foes

Sarah Eden always has great characters but I think this one in particular has such well developed and unique characters.  I like how the heroine has a very obvious physical frustration and the hero has a secret that not even his family or best friend are aware of.
Sweet, clean and easily recommendable :)

The Kiss of a Stranger

So technically, the next book chronologically is Romancing Daphne but it appears I have already done a post about that one.  I must have read them out of order originally because The Kiss of a Stranger is next and I don't think I've blogged about this one yet.
I don't know that I need to keep blogging about each of these individually because I feel like I say basically the same thing about them all.
Sweet, tender, completely appropriate, nothing offensive :)
...oh, and heartily recommend!

Glimmer of Hope

So, in the new editions of Sarah Eden's books there is a list of not only the order of her different series but a chronological list of all her related regency books...since characters do cross over in her two series and stand alones.
I guess I'm going all the way and not only reading all the Lancaster books but will follow this chronological order of all but two (from what I can determine) of her regency era stories.
This book is quite a heart wrencher!  I remember crying when I read it the first time and I was not immune the second time through.
Again, the characters are great, but the plot in this one is what really gets to you!
As always with Sarah Eden, it is very clean and sweet and I fully recommend it (if you don't mind weeping towards the end :)

Okay, so I guess I am going to read the whole series again...I'm okay with that especially since the first time I read them was before I was book blogging.
This is a sweet follow up to Seeking Persephone.
I love all the characters, the plot and the clean romance.
It's all just pretty perfect :)
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book!
