The Millionaire's Nanny Arrangement by Linda Goodnight.

The Millionaire's Nanny Arrangement by Linda Goodnight. My face is sooo wet after reading this! My tears are just drying as I boot up my PC to start on this post..

What do I love about it? How Ryan and Kelsey fell in love. Those situations when they're together, just FALLING in love. ♥

And everything about Kelsey and Ryan's daughter, Mariah too.

You know, it's really the whole book. ♥
A supersuccessful businessman, the only thing Ryan Storm can't quite get a handle on is his daughter, Mariah. All she really wants is a mom. So he hires the next best thing…. Pregnant, widowed Kelsey Mason isn't Ryan's idea of the perfect nanny, but little Mariah bonds with her straightaway.

Even Ryan starts to fall under Kelsey's spell as she tempts the workaholic to take time off to enjoy his family—a family that might grow into something even more special if Ryan can open his heart again.…


A first chapter except at Amazon. Read it! I love how all three main characters (yes Ryan's daughter is a main character) are introduced. ☺

I think it's around the part where they got some important news for Kelsey, my tears just started to flow non-stop.

And I love Kelsey's line about how a woman without chocolate is dangerous. ☺ So just leave us to eat more of it please.

How I got to know Linda Goodnight is because of her free book at TryHarlequin.com. ♥

Maybe all authors should have a free book available for download. I got to know and love many authors because of free books. Abby Gaines, who once had a free novella at Books on Board, is one of them. ♥

And, is it really so hard to digitize all books so that no book will ever go out of print? Travelling cost (around the country to check out used-book stores) are eating into my reserve for romance novels..

The Snow-Kissed Bride.

The Snow-Kissed Bride by Linda GoodnightJust finished Linda Goodnight's The Snow-Kissed Bride. I really liked how John thinks. Especially when Melody was brushing dirt from her bottom. ☺

I definitely love how John and Melody gradually fall in love with each other. (Sigh.) Totally enjoyed this book. It's one of those small doses of extreme emotional type of read for me. ♥

I'm so glad Harlequin offered one of her books for free for their 60th anniversary. If not, I don't know how long would it take for me to discover her, if I ever was meant to.

It's really hard to find authors that write just the right things that you like.

Recent Reads.

Speed Dating by Nancy WarrenWhen I downloaded all 16 free Harlequin books (a 60th Anniversary thingy), it's no question that I will read Nancy Warren's Speed Dating first.

** I thought Dylan Hargreave is really slow in the head when Kendall told him that she loves him. **

Baby Bonanza by Maureen ChildThe next book is Maureen Child's Baby Bonanza, because it's summary got me interested. It involves twin babies, and oh I love reading about heroes melting when being around babies. I don't care much about the cover though. Thank you summary. Simple short read. Great for me.

A Very Special Delivery by Linda GoodnightNext up is A Very Special Delivery by Linda Goodnight. Oooh I really enjoyed that book. Especially the hero, Ethan Hunter. He fights for the relationship and gosh I lost count how many times he got turned down by the heroine, but he never gives up. I so love that in a hero. Whenever Molly (the heroine) says "no" to any of his invitations/dates/blah, whatever Ethan says in reply to the "no" always makes the awkward situation.. less awkward.

Ethan and Molly reminds me alot of the main characters in LaVyrle Spencer's Forsaking All Others, which btw, I loved, and got me digging into Ms Spencer's backlist, which is hard, as most of them are out-of-print, which means trips to many second-hand bookstores and libraries, which can get very frustrating (actually I've not been successful), but I digress.

Wait, I want to digress more. I have to add that second-hand bookstore are gems. And I also think that ALL OUT-OF-PRINT BOOKS SHOULD BE RE-RELEASED AS EBOOKS. NO STORY SHOULD BE DEAD. I don't care. I borrowed Forsaking All Others from the library, but for something I really like, I would love to buy it, let the author earn something out of it. Is anyone reading this?

Back to my reads, I love Ethan. And yea there's a baby in it.
