We had a weekend storm here in New Zealand but nothing like the tornadoes in USA. Houses were damaged, trees came down and my driveway flooded but no one was killed- thank goodness. It was weather that saw me quite happy to stay inside and read.

I read several stories but the one I'll mention today is Vanessa Kelly's, My Favorite Countess. I won't say much about the book because later in the year Vanessa is visiting Regency Seduction's blog and I'll be talking to her about the story. What I will say is that I LOVED John, Dr. Blackmore, the hero. What a man. Wish I could find one like him.

Spirited, stubborn, and entirely irresistible…

She is difficult, demanding, and at times, quite fierce. And Dr. John Blackmore can’t take his eyes off her. The Countess of Randolph is the most striking woman he has ever seen…and the most infuriating patient he has ever tended.

Mired in responsibility, Bathsheba doesn’t have time to convalesce in the country. She should be in London, hunting for a wealthy new lover to pay off her late husband’s vast debts, not dallying with a devastatingly handsome doctor.

But it is only a matter of time until the good doctor and the obstinate countess will have to contend with the sparks that fly between them. Once their bodies surrender, their hearts may follow…

What did you read over the weekend? I'd love to hear from you.
