Doing Virtuous Business **Book Review**

Doing Virtuous Business  by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch is a book that looks at "Spiritual Capital" along with "Social Capital". 

I have had this book on my book shelf for a couple months now awaiting my review, and sadly it will be headed back to my shelf for the 4th time. I have tried to read this book 4 times and each time I just can not get in to the book and end up falling asleep.

I think that if I was a CEO of a company I would have been more into this book, however I am not. I think for having 2 kids I can read books fairly quickly, if I like them. Take the Twilight Saga for example, I have read that Saga 3 maybe 4 times in under 2 weeks. I will gladly miss a full nights rest and still be up the next day and do all my mommy duties just to keep reading that Saga. 

I was really hoping that I would have been able to get into this book, because the concept it great. Having faith in the work place can help you go farther, I just felt like I was reading that same thing over and over again. 

So if you are a CEO I would suggest taking a look at it, but it was just not for me. I did receive this book for free in exchange for my review, and as you can tell the above opinions are mine and mine alone:)

The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck **Book Review**

The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck  by Kathleen Y'Barbo takes place between London and Colorado in the years 1887 - 1891. I am one that is in LOVE with Historic Romance Novels, so when I saw this book to review I was super excited; and thankfully not disappointed at all!

Charlotte Beck is a menace! What she wants she manipulates and makes a creative plan until she gets its. The last thing Charlotte is looking for is love! She wants to prove that she is a grown up, not so she can find a husband, but so she can run her fathers business. In the 1800's this is not a normal thing...at all! 

She is at her "unofficial Debut" and falls into the arms of Martin Hambly or was it Alexander Hambly? From that point on every time she runs into Viscount Hambly there is nothing but trouble that happens, usually Charlotte's fault but she would not state otherwise of course. 

After numerous annoying run ins with one Mister Hambly, Charlotte and him make a truce to never see each other again.After one, no, two great kisses they may keep their distance but, neither is forgetting about those kisses! 

Hambly's family is in need of money and Charlotte wants to go to University to study Mathematics, what to do, what to do? Mr. Beck has an idea. Daniel Beck will give Viscount Hambly the money he needs in exchange, that in 4 years when his daughter is done with school they marry. Both reluctantly agree. Charlotte, thinks her father will forget the deal in 4 years and in those 4 years it is never again mentioned. 

Things are just not that easy though, are they? Read this great story to see what menacing things Charlotte does to try and get out of the marriage and what happens next!

I received this book in exchange for my review, however everything is my opinion and mine alone! I can not wait to read more from Kathleen Y'Barbo, she is an excellent writer and I really enjoyed this book!
