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.
Well this was spring break for us. Little Girl left Saturday a week ago to go to Tennessee with my parents. They went horseback riding, to a waterpark, zip lining, snow tubing, shopping, and ate all the goodies. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I dropped the boys off at my mother-in-law's house while I got a couple of hours in at our house painting. We were supposed to have bad weather on Tuesday, but it ended up not being as bad as predicted. Thursday, I took the boys to the zoo. We had a great day. The weather was perfect. The zoo had a moderate crowd--more people than I expected but not terribly busy. We took our time and spent more time there than any of the other times we've taken the kids. After, I grabbed a shaved ice treat for myself and got Little Boy a strawberry sundae. Saturday, Little Girl and my parents got back from their trip. We also had a fellowship dinner Saturday night. There's still so much to be done at our house, but it looks like we'll be moving back home. I am so excited because ball games start this week.

Goodreads description--She swore she would win the baronet’s heart in order to break it, never dreaming she would lose her own in the process. Millicent Wedgwood will never obtain her rightful place in Society, which means she will never have an advantageous reputation, marriage, or fortune. All because Millie's sister eloped years before. But there is a chance to rise above that disgrace if Millie will take part in a dare. If she can win the baronet who insulted Lady Olivia, and then shatter his heart, she will earn back her position in Society with Lady Olivia’s sponsorship.Sir Isaac Fox returned from war with one less arm and a weight upon his soul. Where once he easily charmed Society, he now prefers to remain quietly alone at home. With a failing estate to manage, Isaac is determined to be more responsible and less foolhardy, which leaves no time for romance. Certainly no time for the infuriatingly enchanting Miss Wedgwood.
When Millie realizes her game has put her own heart in jeopardy, she risks losing everything she has so desperately sought to replace in her life. And though Isaac refuses Millie's advances, he cannot deny her charm. But falling for Miss Wedgwood would mean reentering society and losing the peace he has found since the war. Can they find a way to heal their hearts together? Or will Millie's deception ruin them both?
