Probably Not Recommendable

First of all, that cover!  I love it!!!

Secondly, I thought the story was unique and interesting, however, there were multiple things that bothered me in the book.

There were a few {Uncomfortable Moments} and a {Backstory} that is hardly mentioned but you know it's there.  The thing that troubled me the most though was the focus on their physical relationship {Too Much Passion}.  Their wedding night is written about, and then aside from that issue, (which, by the way, is always an issue for me :) the description of any other kissing or desire was too much in my opinion.

Again, I thought the plot and characters were interesting and well written but I would have a hard time recommending this book based on some of the content.

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to reading this one!

It was fun to put it in its place though as I reread the Jonquil and Lancaster series and it helped prepare me for the finale, Charming Artemis.

This is a cute novella that involves Artemis and Charlie's friends and sets the stage nicely for their own romance in the next book.

Super clean and sweet...as always from Sarah Eden.

I easily recommend this book with no concerns!

This is the long awaited conclusion of Sarah Eden's two family series.

I love that she brought them together in the end...and I think the title is really clever.  Artemis, of course is the heroine's name but Charlie is the hero's name and his little niece has called him Charming from the beginning of the series so this is just perfect :)

I thought it was a sweet story.

I felt like there was just a tiny bit more passion {Too Much Passion} than I was used to from Eden.  It wasn't offensive and would not keep me from recommending this book, but again, just a hair more than I have come to expect from this author.  Everything else was lovely and, I feel, a great ending to the Jonquil and the Lancaster sagas.

I will say that I had heard from more than one person that they became emotional during this book.  I fully expected to since I certainly have cried in the midst of Eden's other series Hope Springs.  I didn't put it past her to be able to bring me to tears, but alas, my eyes were dry.  (It may be because I have been more faithful with my antidepressants lately :)

Another great one in the Jonquil series!

I love how all the brothers are so different and have their own struggles.

Most of all, I just love how clean all of Sarah Eden's books are!

There was nothing in this book to which I objected and easily recommend it.

Back to Sarah Eden and the Jonquils...

It was a joy to reread this one...as is the case with the whole series.

I love the characterization of this brother with his shyness and unassuming ways.

There was nothing objectionable, of course, in this book.

I can easily recommend this one with no hesitation.

This was a cute story!

I liked the characters and plot (even though it wasn't a super complicated one)

I am a few days late posting about it though so my memory of the content has somewhat faded.

However, what I do remember was clean...I don't even recall any Uncomfortable Moments :)

I believe this is the first of Jennifer Delamere that I have read but I would be interested in reading the next books in this series and could recommend this one without hesitation.

I really love Elizabeth Camden's writing.

  She always tells a fascinating story that weaves in with real historical events.  This new novel was no exception.  However, a lot of her stories lately include characters with {Back Stories}.  In this book, one of the main characters has a minor backstory that does not play much into things but a minor character has a major backstory that does come into play.

There were one or two {Uncomfortable Moments} and a couple of times where the Lord's name was used in vain {Language}.  Overall, it was an interesting and fun story that kept me reading.

I might be able to recommend this to those who are not bothered by the type of things mentioned above but I am not be able to give it a squeaky clean review.
