Did you fall in love with The English Brothers? Were you hot for the Winslows?

For as long as Madeleine “Mad” Rousseau can remember, she’s been the “sweet” twin to her sister Jax’s “sassy.” But after an especially painful break-up, Mad decides she’s had enough of being sweet. Children’s librarian during the day, she begins visiting Philly’s seedier nightspots on a quest for adventure and experience.

Globug's Review

Katy Regnery has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I can always depend on her for heart warming happy endings. Her Blueberry Lane series continues now with Marry Me Mad.

Madeleine Rousseaus  has finally had enough of her cheating boyfriend. He's a well known psychiatrist that for the past three years has been able to fast talk his way out of  looking guilty of cheating. Mad is tired of being played a fool. Chance or maybe fate lead her to a bar and right into a blast from her past.

Cort Ambler has spent most of his life longing for Madeleine Rousseaus. She's been his forbidden love since they were teenagers on Blueberry Lane. Forbidden, thanks to girl/sister code. You can't date one and then expect to ever date the other. Poor Cort has suffered because of the girl code curse and now has a chance and hope to be able break the curse and claim the girl he always wanted. That's if he can convince Mad to choose him over her twin sister. 

I thought it was cool that Mad and Cort's story is on the same timeline as Jonquils For Jax. Cort has history with Jax that Mad is confused about. Cort is loyal and because of a promise he made to Jax he can't reveal truths that would overrule the girl code keeping Mad from giving him a chance. I loved Cort for his integrity but it made me want to hate on Jax a little. Mad and Cort are falling hard and it's painful to see her throwing it away.

I loved to see the sisters reconnect. Jax does what she can to fix Mad's heartbreak. I was thrilled with how Cort and Mad start their future together. I also have to mention that Cort's character is a musician. I very much enjoyed listening to the songs that he plays in the book. My favorite is the song The Luckiest by Ben Folds. I've included a link to it if you want to listen.

The Luckiest

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Now exclusively self-published, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; the Enchanted Places Series; and a stand-alone novella, Frosted.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s boxed set, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times bestseller.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

Did you fall in love with The English Brothers? Were you hot for the Winslows? Katy Regnery's New York Times bestselling Blueberry Lane series continues with The Rousseau siblings in Summer 2016!

Jacqueline "Jax" Rousseau is vivacious, rich, smart and beautiful…but that doesn't mean she's lucky in love: she's dated doctors, lawyers, actors and politicians who've all managed to end up disappointing her. In fact, she's on a self-imposed hiatus from love when she has an unpleasant run-in with her neighbor's gorgeous new landscaper, Gardener Lenox. Jax is not accustomed to gruff, ill-mannered men that can't be charmed, but when he saves her skin, she realizes that something about Gard intrigues her...and if she can find her way through the armor that surrounds his heart, she might finally find a love that won't let her down.

Globug's Review

J'adore Katy Regnery!! After finishing Jonquils for Jax I was ready to listen to it on audible. Of course it's not available yet on audio but just the thought of getting to hear Gardner narrate with his Cajun french accent had me begging the author to offer this book in audio.

From the outside looking in at Gard and Jax you would think they are from two very different worlds. After all he is just the hired help. But they have more in common than Jax realizes. The great thing about Jax is that she couldn't care less how different she thinks their bank accounts are. Even their french accents are different, hers being the pristine Parisian French and his the dirty rough sound of French Cajun. Regnery has an amazing way of writing these super rich characters that are so down to earth and humble.

My favorite parts of the story were the sweet moments they shared speaking in french. I totally swooned every time Gardner dropped a sweet line like "Your eyes. Tes yeux, j'en reve jour et nuit." The author includes most of the translations right after so you don't miss anything. I also loved that anytime Gardner needed to exclaim something he would start with "Glory Lord!".  It was so unique to him. I could go on all day about the things I loved about Gard.

Both characters are insecure with their current career choices and are struggling with the directions they want their lives to go. They slowly realize that if they take the path together they can find their way to a happily ever-after. It's a sweet and sexy ride with just the right amount of angst. Another spectacular book in Regnery's Blueberry Lane series.

Proposing to Preston {Review by Globug}

Looking for the best Book-Boyfriends in the world? You can find them in any of the books by Katy Regnery. I loved Proposing to Preston ♥

Proposing to Preston is the second of four books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome Winslow brothers who are all on the look-out for love.

(Except Brooks… he’s probably sailing around the world with Skye by now. And Cameron, who’s having too much fun sparring with Margaret to consider love. And Christopher, who’s only on the look-out for a congressional seat and absolutely. nothing. else.)

Preston Winslow has a heart as open as the sky and room in his life for someone special. When he falls in love with Broadway actress, Elise Klassan, he holds nothing back.
Elise, who has made tremendous sacrifices to forward her career, is swept off her feet by handsome, charming Preston…but the stage has been her first love for so many years, she doesn’t know if there’s room for Preston in her life. When the day comes that she must choose between her ambition and her heart, she profoundly hurts the one man who could have made her happy.
Two years later, Elise has become a world-famous actress and Preston is a very successful lawyer. But fame has not equaled happiness for Elise, and Preston is much too bitter and cynical to ever consider falling in love again.
Is it possible that the only person who can mend Preston’s heart is the one who originally broke it? Only if Elise can figure out a way to make him believe in love all over again

Globug's Review

Seriously!! Regnery writes the best, most swoon-worthy men I've ever read. As I began reading Proposing to Preston I had the feeling I was watching an old school black and white romance movie. There was just something so sweet and innocent about how Preston and Elise meet and begin their romance. It was like Pres was courting her. His intentions remained very honorable especially when he realized just how inexperienced she was with relationships.

Elise comes across as a strong and ambitious woman that left her family and strict religious background to pursue her dream of acting on Broadway. She was never looking for love or anything that would get in the way of her success but when Preston entered the picture it didn't seem at first that he would disrupt her course but more like he would support her while also relieve her of the heavy feelings of loneliness she was beginning to feel.

They have a whirlwind of a relationship just as Elise's acting career takes off. Through many of the challenges Elise faces Preston is a constant source of unwavering love and support. He's caring and protective and very sensitive to Elise's fear of love. She's never experienced love and as an actress she has always seen the pain that love brings when it's portrayed in the plays she has performed in.

I spent the second half of the book in tears. You know from the synopsis that it's all going to fall apart for Elise and Preston. I hurt so badly for him. Preston knew Elise was scared and when she needed him the most to support her ambition he pushed her causing her to run and push him away. I couldn't believe they stayed in limbo, separated for two years. Thank God they stayed faithful to each other during their separation or it would have killed the whole book for me. I could never really justify how Elise handled things. I didn't feel like she ever really redeemed herself but It only made me love Preston even more for the way he gave one hundred percent of his heart to her.

The biggest lesson Elise learns though it all is that it wasn't her ambition that pushed her as much as it was fear that drove her away from her family and the love that Preston had for her. After two years they are both finally ready to let their love be the priority. Such a great read! Regnery is the Queen of writing swoon-worthy men.
