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.
The kiddos had ball practice Monday night. The boys and I played outside most of the day Tuesday while Husband had his annual checkup. Thursday my parents came to hang out with us. We played outside again. The weather was been so nice. Thursday night was ball practice again. That night's sleep was rough. Little Girl climbed in the bed with us shortly after midnight because it was storming outside. Baby Boy woke at 5:45 am and the whole house was awake by 6:20. I spent Friday yawning away. It also rained the first half of the day so we were stuck inside. Saturday we took the kids to a local indoor playground. Baby Boy had been gifted a trip there for his birthday and this was our first opportunity to visit. After that we met my dad and his siblings and my brother out to eat for lunch. My dad's siblings don't live nearby. One aunt lives in Colorado so it's only every few years that we get to see her and my uncle. It was so good to see them all. Time is passing and they are all aging--although I wouldn't point that out to them. The time we get to spend with our loved ones is so precious, and today made me so thankful for the influence that each of them has had on my life growing up. Oh, I love them so!

Goodreads description--An Irish miss and a duke's son have little in common, but Christmas at the castle has a way of bringing the most unlikely people together.Isleen Frost wishes her family had stayed in Dublin for Christmas but understands it would have been folly to decline an invitation to the Duke of Montfort’s Christmastide house party. Isleen refuses to allow the opulent castle and powerful duke to impress her. But the duke’s eldest son, Lord Farleigh, is another matter entirely.
Raised as the heir to a duke, Simon Dinard, Lord Farleigh, has learned to project a calm self-assurance despite an inner fear he will never be as confident a leader as his father. When a friendly wager and a spirited Irish lady challenge all his unspoken thoughts, he determines to prove her wrong—and ignore the growing attraction between them.
Christmas celebrations at the castle are always full of surprises, but Isleen and Simon are not at all prepared for the feelings the season inspires between them. An Irish miss and a duke’s son have no business falling in love. But the magic of sleigh rides, snow-covered hills, and mistletoe might change their minds...
This novel is a sweet Regency romance and can be read as a stand-alone, though readers of the previous books will enjoy seeing old friends again.

Goodreads description--If there is one woman Samson Rutherford, Earl of Riverton, can’t abide, it is his meddling sister. He has spent his whole life being a pawn in her plans and tricks, but when one of her schemes leaves him dressed in women’s clothing, he has finally had enough. He cannot beat her at her games, or even say no to her, his only option to save his sanity and pride is to run away--and fortunately, his solicitor knows just the place…Florence Wallace wasn’t born to be a governess, but with her family’s fall from grace, she has become one. A good one. However, when the chance arises to stay at her uncle’s home so she can care for his horticulture project while he is absent, she jumps at the chance. Leaving her position, she plans to gather her sisters together so they can be a family again--even if it is only for a little while.
But the last thing Florence expected to find upon her arrival was her childhood friend. Samson has sequestered himself at the cottage and claims to have been invited to watch over her uncle’s business while he is away. But Florence insists that’s what she’s been asked to do. The quiet retreat is what they both need, but who will get to stay?
Not Samson, because he has never gotten the better of a woman, not since… well, not since Florence let him kiss her years ago…
Come to think of it, perhaps it is time for Samson to win after all.
