I finally reached my goal! I didn’t finish all of the books in my TBR pile (I have 399 more…) but I finished all the books that didn’t fit in my bookcase. Every little bit helps!
A Family for Gillian by Catherine Blair
(2001, Regency)
Grade: 3.5
Viscount Prescott Avery needs a mother for his children, and Gillian Harwell needs to escape her scheming family. It seems like the perfect arrangement. But the children aren’t exactly welcoming, and Avery isn’t sure he wants a new wife…
This was a cute and charming book. Very reminiscent of Sound of Music. I wouldn’t want a steady diet of cute and sweet, but in small doses, it can be nice to read something different. It was a predictable book, and not all that romantic, but it was a nice diversion on a Sunday afternoon.
I’m not a big fan of cute children in romances, but every now and then I’ll make an exception.
