The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie

The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer and Anne Stuart - 410 pages

Sisters Dee, Lizzie, and Mare have been hiding from their Aunt Xan ever since the night she killed their parents for their powers.  Now Xan has come up with a diabolical plan -- she'll send them their true loves so that they'll want to give up their magic for love.

This was a fun read.  The idea of "true love" being your downfall was an interesting idea.  I also enjoyed all the movie references included in the book.

Once a Rake by Eileen Dreyer

Once a Rake: Book Four in the Drake's Rakes Series by Eileen Dreyer --- 386 pages

Eileen Dreyer is a St. Louis author I've encountered before. She has a background in nursing and her earlier books tended toward contemporary medical-based thrillers I quite enjoyed.  It seems she's currently working in the genre of historical romance, the classic Regency romance updated with a generous dollop of eroticism.

Mostly fun and froth, as a high spirited, downtrodden heroine and a Scottish berserker defending his honor join forces to rescue the Duke of Wellington from assassins and traitors.
