The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Monday, Grammy kept Baby Boy while, Husband, Mom, and I went to the house to clean up and get ready for the floors to go down in the bedrooms at the house. Husband didn't get the painting done that he wanted because there was too much clean up and prep work to be done first. The rest of the week was fairly normal. Little Boy and I went on a 1:1 date Thursday night to a local trampoline park. Friday, Grandma kept Baby Boy for a couple of hours for me while I taped off the baseboards to get ready for painting. The contractor we hired to do our bedrooms finished his part this week. Unfortunately the bedrooms weren't a part of the original contract so we haven't made much progress in the rest of the house this week. Things are moving so slow with us doing the work ourselves until we can get another contractor signed on. Thankfully, my dad has experience as he worked for my uncle's contracting business for many years. Saturday, we also had to take the kids to the ball field to get their uniform sizes and meet their coaches for baseball and softball. Little Boy is playing t-ball, and Little Girl is playing softball. This might not have been the best year to sign them up, but I didn't want to keep putting it off. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Goodreads description-- A passionate kiss from a handsome valet becomes a Regency Cinderella story when he is revealed to be an earl.York, England, 1819.
As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and living a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome. She’s instantly drawn to him, which is why, rather than stopping him from kissing her, she finds herself kissing him back, reigniting a nearly forgotten passion in her. But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales—never to an ordinary woman like her.
Still, she cannot stop thinking about Mr. Henry and the kiss they shared. The more time she spends with the earl’s valet, the more she knows she cannot in good conscience allow Mr. Timoltson to continue to court her, even though a marriage to him would provide her financial security and independence from her overbearing father’s control. The heart wants what it wants, and her heart wants Mr. Henry.
But while working in the kitchens during a fancy dinner party, she sees something strange: the valet—the valet she kissed—is sitting at the right hand of the baroness. She realizes that Mr. Henry is not the earl’s valet; he is the earl—Kenneth Winterton.
Heartbroken, angry, and betrayed, Rebecca isn’t sure she can trust Lord Winterton, much less accept his apology. But when Lord Winterton proves he is as kind and gentle as “Mr. Henry” was, she finds herself willing to give him a second chance. But will he still take a chance on her, when choosing a commoner means he might lose his inheritance?
Trust, love, loneliness, and passion collide in this story about a man who will risk it all to fight for the woman he loves and a woman who no longer believes in fairy tales—until she finds herself living in one.
