I just finished Sold to a Laird by Karen Ranney. I didn't notice any other romance books in this thread (not that I read all 205 pages), but I finished it this morning, it was released on Nov 24 and it wasn't what I expected. The protagonist is really well developed, and you can feel her grief when her mother, the parent that doesn't beat her in front of the servants, dies. The beginning was a bit of a tear-jerker which isn't often the case in romance novels. There is a happy ending though. I plan to start Dancing Shoes and Honky-Tonk Blues by LuAnn McLane next.
