Sworn To Protect

"An engaging story that filled a craving for romantic suspense."
Posted May 5, 2013

I\'m a big fan of Jo Davis\'s Firefighters of Station Five series so I was thrilled when I heard she was returning to Sugarland, TN in a series featuring police officers. Even better, the series was starting with Shane Ford\'s story, a character who appeared in several Read more...


Lush
by Lauren Dane
"A perfect example of contemporary romance at its best."
Posted May 3, 2013

People sometimes tease me about reading romance. They are stuck in the bodice ripper mindset and think every book is about a virginal woman waiting to be rescued by a man who will then introduce her to the pleasures of his love handle. While the boy-meets-girl theme is Read more...


Anything But Sweet
by Candis Terry
"Candis Terry has moved to the top of my list of go-to authors for a small-town-America romance."
Posted April 16, 2013

I thoroughly enjoyed Candis Terry's Sugar Shack series with its small town quirks that included a deceased mother haunting the backseat of the old family car. With so many books in my to-read pile I must admit to wondering if I wanted to follow her into a new Read more...

Domino Falls
by Steven Barnes, Tananarive Due
"A gripping and suspenseful story of the struggle to survive."
Posted February 17, 2013

I should start by saying that young adult zombie apocalypse is not my preferred reading genre. In fact, until this series I had never read a zombie book. So, I'm not sure what attracted me to DOMINO FALLS. The cover? The synopsis? The authors whom I have heard other Read more...


Wolf With Benefits
by Shelly Laurenston
"One of Ms. Laurenston's most entertaining books to date."
Posted February 16, 2013

One of six children, and the middle daughter to boot, I very rarely got control of the television while growing up. So I entertained myself by reading, and found a passion that has lasted a lifetime. My love of reading comes from my love of language. Words fascinate me. David Tennant is my favorite Dr. Who, in part, because he regularly plays with words (Allons e!). My favorite book is The Time Traveler's Wife because I love the lyrical quality of the writing. I read many different genres, but lean towards contemporary romance, romantic suspense, cozy mysteries, and anything humorous. I can always be found with a book and never hesitate to pull it out if I have time to kill. In addition to my day job, I am a copy editor for FreshFiction, and co-host of the Fort Worth chapter of the DFW Tea book clubs.
