The Love Fix Certain authors can be read repeatedly. I search out anything penned by Jill Shalvis. Some of my friends don’t understand my devotion to some particular authors. If I get them to read anything by this amazing prolific creator they often tell me that they now understand.
Cruel Summer I remember the first time I heard the expression - swingers. Candidly I imagine folks who like going out, drinking, and dancing. Yep. Naive that was me. Then I found out I actually know some who are “swingers.” My next thought was yuck. Never could look at them Read more...
The Lost Book of First Loves This is the story about Juniper Connelly whose life takes an unexpected turn. June is head of marketing at Move Inc. A very qualified, driven, go-getter and has had much success in training interns in the company internship program. Her latest intern Alison has turned out to be Read more...
Sunset Sharon Sala’s talent overflows with imagination. She surely could have been a poet with her word scope and in SUNSET we are once again entertained and enthralled by the way she creates and describes scenes and characters, like poetry for sure.
Hidden Nature No one does characters and dialog better than one of my favorite go-to authors. Nora Roberts and I have had a long, amazing relationship and HIDDEN NATURE is a perfect example of why that is. Family traditions are front and center in this story. When their Read more...
The Wife Before Interesting look at a group of dysfunctional characters. None really sympathetic. Candidly not much to like about any of them. So at first, you may wonder just where the author is heading, and this is a story that has innumerable twists and turns. I consider myself a talented armchair Read more...
The Summer That Shaped Us Be prepared to be utterly charmed in this new story shaped, designed, and lovingly crafted in true Lori Wilde fashion. We are off on an adventure to Hobby Island where the atmosphere is one of encouragement, friendship, humor, creativity, and hope. The island is stocked with plenty of unique Read more...
Looking for Jane LOOKING FOR JANE – By Heather Marshall Have you ever read a book where you are consistently challenged to think about your opinion? LOOKING FOR JANE is definitely going to give you some time to pause. It’s about an awful time for women and girls Read more...
Only The Beautiful The title of this often heart-wrenching book ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL by Susan Meissner is an anomaly of being created in God’s image. As stated in the opening with a quote from Genesis you are want to wonder what happens when the creation is less than perfect Read more...
Dead Man's List Playing homicide investigator was never more challenging and candidly fun – in a grisly sort of way. Funny how you can get over the sight of blood rather quickly and dare I suggest easily once you are enmeshed in the search for a monster. Well, it must be a Read more...
Blood Moon The first thing you will notice is that there are several characters that would like the disappearance of a young girl to remain a closed issue. A young man was found guilty. There has never been a body, nor a motive for that matter. Two characters in particular Read more...
Rustler Mountain Pure entertainment by Maisey Yates. Just what you would expect. Now we are invited to research the outlaw history of the Wild West. The current rancher is one Austin Wilder. Austin has outlived all his male relatives. They’ve all been gunned down as murderers. Austin has never Read more...
To Sicily with Love Enmeshed in a lovely heartwarming story about self-discovery are pearls of wisdom interwoven in her characters’ dialog. Pretty ingenious and soul-searchingly wondrous. Exactly what we’ve come to expect from Jennifer Probst. Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Outcomes are somewhat random Read more...
Let's Call Her Barbie Right off the proverbial bat, you will identify with this look into the past. Toy manufacturing and marketing past. I often, and sometimes less than fondly, remember the doll craze of, you guessed it, Cabbage Patch dolls. My daughter was just the right age for that craziness time. Not Read more...
Brewing Up a Bad Boy BREWING UP A BAD BOY is a rather light-hearted tale by the very entertaining and creative author Katherine Garbera. You have to take the title as literary license once you catch on to the double entendre of the title and for that matter the storyline.
Order of Swans I vividly remember when I first realized that fairy tales were actually fashioned after some perhaps gruesome or extremely sad premises. Looking for a successful conclusion or happily ever after resolve, the stories themselves were rather steeped with possible harsh events. Most certainly life-altering for some characters. Think Read more...
Better Than Friends I knit because stabbing people is frowned upon. Yep, pure Jill Shalvis picking up something current and using it to her story’s advantage. Those of us who knit will immediately google how to get this T-shirt. BETTER THAN FRIENDS is about growing up in a smallish Read more...
Fall with Me Number four in one of the most entertaining series ever. Sexy and sassy humor fills every page of the last in a series that revolves around the Canadian hockey team The Vipers and their families. Read more...
Bad Seed Once again I am floored by the ability this author has to have you hanging on till the last gasp. This is the story of Harley Banks whose mission was to stop thieves Read more...
One in a Million Once again we have a novel written by a committee of folks dedicated to continuing the legacy of thoughts and plots by Janet Dailey. Her husband and daughter spearhead this committee. In ONE IN A MILLION, we are looking at a group of possible suspects in a crime drama 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. |
