MONDAY MORNING – SEPTEMBER 12

HELLO, my glorious friends! I hope you are having a lovely day so far. I had quite the busy weekend. Busy only in that our toddler did not want to stop moving. Ever. Will was so busy this weekend. He wanted to do ALL THE THINGS. He wanted to play outside, he wanted to play inside, he wanted to chase the dog, he wanted to go up and down the stairs, etc. He was a lot. All weekend. Made worse only because my husband and I both got our COVID boosters on Saturday and whooo those wear you out VERY QUICKLY. We were exhausted. BUT now we’re boosted, and we should be feeling all better by tomorrow. How was your weekend, my friends?

This one comes highly recommended from a fellow reviewer! I love books set in Scotland (cough Outlander cough) so anything remotely revolving around that country I’m all for.

WAITING FOR A SCOT LIKE YOU BY EVA LEIGH

For a merry widow and a stoic major, it’s a bumpy road to love…

Adjusting to life in peacetime isn’t easy for Major Duncan McCameron. Escorting a lady on her journey north seems like the perfect chance to give him some much-needed purpose. That is, until he learns the woman in question is the beautiful, bold, reckless Lady Farris. She makes his head spin and being alone together will surely end in disaster.

Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, is finally free of a stifling marriage and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man. Ready to live life to the fullest, she’s headed to a week-long bacchanal and the journey should be half the fun. Except she’s confined to a carriage with a young, rule-abiding, irritatingly handsome Scottish soldier who wouldn’t know a good time if it landed in his lap. But maybe a madcap escapade will loosen him up…

Between carriage crashes, secret barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed, their initial tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected. But is there a future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will their differences tear them apart?

Here’s hoping you and yours have a great week!
