The Duke Is But a Dream by Anna Bennett

I had a hard time with this novel.  It is a Historical Romance, yet there is no set time period for the book.  It kind of left the book floundering.

Lily Hartley writes an anonymous tell-all advice column for young ladies of the ton.  She delivers her column dressed as a boy.  When she decides to explore her freedom, she ends up in a tavern.  During a brawl, she is hit in the head.  Eric Nash, Duke of Stonebridge is in the tavern and realizes the lad is really a young woman.  When she is injured, he takes her to his house to recover.

Lily is left with amnesia and has no idea of who she is.  The only thing she knows is her attraction to Nash grows stronger each day.  As Lily and Nash attempt to find her true identity, their attraction grows to the point they may just lose their hearts to each other.

What bothered me was Lily had no idea if she was married, betrothed, or single.  Yet, within two days of being in Nash's house, they are engaging in some serious action.  It was much too quick. 

On the flip side, I did enjoy the book once I ignored my personal issues.  It was well written and Lily was a strong character.

When a Lady Kisses a Scot by Tara Kingston

This was an action-packed novel from the start.  When Rose Fleming faked her death, she left everything behind including the man she loved, MacAllister Campbell.  Ten years later, Rose is out of hiding because she believes she is safe.  When she runs into Mac, it shakes him to the core.  It is worse when he discovers why Rose was in hiding.  Will he risk it all to keep her safe?

This book was wonderful.  It moved from the first page and didn't stop.  The characters were strong.  Rose was a wonderful heroine.
