Alaska for Christmas Have you ever been to Alaska? I highly recommend it. The most amazing place to visit and see first-hand just how life is in a place that is mostly winter, cold, snow, ice, bears, moose, and so much more. The folk that call Alaska home are impressively resilient Read more...
The Cowboy Cookie Challenge From stem to stern laugh out loud funny. Of course. THE COWBOY COOKIE CHALLENGE is vintage Lori Wilde.

Falling Stars FALLING STARS is delightful from beginning to end with some of the dare I say, cutest, down-to-earth characters I’ve ever met. And I think that was the goal of Fern Michaels. FALLING STARS is about living life to Read more...
The Road To Christmas TTHE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS is actually a family tale that has them all driving toward the same location in three separate vehicles. Three pairs, each having very different journeys.

Willed to Wed Him I find Caitlyn Crews' writing very humorous. Make me laugh out loud at some of the strange and quirky situations she thinks up for her characters. WILLED TO WED HIM is no exception. From the Read more...
The Christmas Spirit It began with a dare of sorts. Each man believed his job was tougher than the other and in many ways they were. Their jobs were certainly different. Pete was a pastor of a small-town church. His sister Grace his assistant, basically organizes his demanding schedule. Hank owned Read more... |
Sandra Wurman An avid reader for all my life and
reading is one of my passions. I’ve
been an independent reviewer for
several years now and have covered just
about every genre from a vast number of
publishers and authors. Another perk of
reviewing is getting a first glimpse of
new and upcoming works from talented
authors. As a reviewer I have had the
fortune to meet new authors and become
reacquainted with some tried and true
ones. One of the most rewarding aspects
of reviewing is having your work
acknowledged by authors and/or
publishers. The inclusion of one of my
reviews on a book jacket or on an
author’s website is a supreme
compliment and always appreciated.
With the advent and broad adoption of
the e-reader the scope of available
works to be reviewed has increased
exponentially making the job of the
reviewer ever more challenging as the
selection of works becomes vast beyond
belief.
My goal is simple – to deliver a fair
and honest review. I take this very
seriously as I respect my readers and
they can depend on my appraisal of
fiction as well as various crafts and
cooking. My main focus is fiction but
occasionally something from another
genre catches my eye.

Re: Heartache Falls (11:34am April 28, 2011):
Okay I'm hooked - definitely have three more books to add to my must read list. Dogs love us unconditionally - you can't really say that about anyone or anything else. My Maxwell will always have a special place in our hearts along with our Coco and Shani. Now we have a rescue grand doggie Annie who loves her little girl sooo much. |
