Miracles (The Westmoreland Dynasty Saga Book 4) Kindle Edition

I'm so disappointed in this book! After I completely fell in love with all of the other Westmoreland books, I was looking forward to Nicki's story. He deserved so much more. The book was too short and empty. No details, no romance and no story! Poor Nicki. 🥺

Some spoilers ahead...Oh Nikki.Okay, first, Hurray all her books on on Amazon in e format!But alas, this was the one book she could of written that I didn't want to be a novella or so short and it did indeed feel rushed. So lets get to it, Julianna was the ward that Stevens wife was coming for. That didn't happen obviously if you read that story. So Julianna is this writer and independent thinker because of her grandmother. He grandmother passes away but our h has lived on in the simple life ideals of her.Unfortunately for her, her mother is atrocious. Downright awful. Forcing a marriage, forcing her way into the ton, etc. Everyone hates the mom and Julianna couldn't give two cows, she wants to write, live small off her inheritance in London. Her mother uses Julianna to buy a season. I felt bad for her here she really thought she was going to escape. Alas, her Mother does everything she can with the connection Julianna has to the Westmorelands to trudge her way into the ton. It doesn't work, they HATE the mother. Honestly with good reason.At the last week of the season, Valerie (Nikki our H's on again off again widow mistress) hosts a masquerade and Julianna attends and comes up with the idea of getting herself ruined. She meets Nikki in a maze, etc, he accepts, and it all falls apart. She changes her mind, runs out, right into her Mother and an audience. Well of course Nikkis the most wanted man in England so her Mothers thrilled.So you can imagine....this is early England above all. Not only will Julianna be ruined, so will Nikki be called into question over being a gentleman. So....he marries her. Its awful, hes awful. Shes heartbroken. Its a disaster.Heres where this short book disappoints. JM puts a lot of time into one chapter telling us what comes next, how awful Nikki treats her, he basically dumps her off at his estate and doesn't even consummate the wedding. Hes just horrid. I know right? Our Nikki from the other books? No way, this just couldn't be what I was reading, it didn't feel right for his character.Fast Forward three months of being deserted, its Christmas, his mothers in ill health, they spend a week together pretending to be a happy couple for her sake, although we don't get to hear much of it, because again this is a fast book, and then his intention as soon as the parents leave is to desert her AGAIN. Good god.So she gives him as a gift some letters, like a diary, that she had continued writing to her grandmother, and alas youll have to read them and see what happens, but its all over quite quickly. I wont leave the ending.But I will say this, THAT was where the book SHOULD of started. In fact after getting thru all of that I could of read at least another 100 pages to find out exactly how that epilogue actually got to that point! All right mini rant over. JM is one of my all time favorite authors, Almost Heaven and Kingdom of Dreams are books I go back and read again and again. I wasn't crazy about Stephon and Clayton Westmoreland, but I was all about Nikki in those books so you can imagine my vast and utter disappointment for his story and my longing for how much better it could of been. He deserved a full length novel. So I would tell you going into this book, its not. 4 stars obviously because of the writing and the period history is spot on. But oh, Ive never had a book read where I just wanted so much more!

Interesting predicament and well written, Judith McNaught can hold one’s attention as she weaves her story ending in a sweet twist

Great short story. I thought the story could have been a little more developed by including some interaction with Whitney and Sheridan. And what happened to Julianna"s parents??? Did they get the "cut direct" by Nicholas or Julianna?? Just some unanswered questions..... But it was a quick read and entertaining.

Many years have passed and I've read a lot of good books since I first read Whitney's and Sheridan's stories, but seeing their names brought them to mind. Those are truly unforgettable books that must be read. This was much too short. Nikki deserved better as did Juliana. This reads like a synopsis of their story, a rough first draft, begging to be fleshed out.

I've read this short story in the "A Holiday of Love" anthology.Then, and also now, I've laughed and cried with the lovely story of two misshapen lovers. Happily, it ended well, as all self-respecting love story should be.Monica Beltrami, from Montevideo, UruguayThe inverted heart in South America, between Argentina and Brazil.

The only thing wrong with this book is that it wasn't long enough! Once again my new favorite author drew me in with her skill at creating a delightfully strong female character.

I really thought this was a new book by Ms. McNaught, so I was anxious to read it because she is one of my favorite authors! To my dismay, it was a short novella that was published some time ago with other authors in the book too. I enjoyed reading this book again even though I have the original (with a different title) in my library. I dislike it immensely when an older book is rereleased under a different title! At least they should add a footnote that it is a previously published work! Nevertheless, it is a good story, Ms. McNaught knows how to spin a romance extremely well. This is a spinoff of one of her other characters from the Westmoreland books, Nicolas DuVille who finds himself trapped in a marriage he does not want and the problems that brings. Any romance reader will love this story!

Essa novelinha é cheia de situações engraçadas e imaginativas. A protagonista é uma doçura, inteligente e cheia de vivacidade. O protagonista segue o padrão Westmoreland de orgulho masculino , mas é mais esclarecido e torna a trama mais leve.

Bueno

I fell in love with Judith Mcnaughts books. (Whitney my love, Something wonderful and Until You) I read them when first released in the 90's. I enjoyed this one too. I have given 5 stars but I wish it could have been longer.It has made me want to read the others again.I wish Judith would write more books for this series.

Molto bella la storia peccato che sia davvero corta!poteva essere sviluppata in modo meraviglioso.in ogni caso merita di essere letta

I have read all Judith Mcnaught' s books, so when I saw this one I downloaded it instantly! It is the same brilliant writing that we expect from her. Wish it was much longer..! I have been looking for her book "someone like you" aka "can't take my eyes off you" but can't seem to find it anywhere..help!!
