The Stepsisters
by Susan Mallery
"Talk about a dysfunctional family."
Posted May 23, 2021

Okay, so two of the stepsisters make Cinderella look like a true fairytale. Evil stepsisters. Daisy’s sisters make them pale by comparison. I can’t even imagine where Susan Mallery’s mind was when she created these three steps. Two sisters, Cassidy and Sage, have Read more...

by Julia Justiss
"Starting over is seldom without challenges"
Posted May 21, 2021

Julia Justiss is such a romantic, which pretty much describes me as well. Additionally, Julia Justiss clearly has a love of cowboys – ditto for me, too. So, getting the opportunity to read and review THE RANCHER which is the Read more...

There are times when a story just touches you. Funny, endearing, and essentially rather simple. Life in Little Cove is simple. What it lacks in numbers it excels in characters. In the NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE, the author Damhnait Monaghan immerses the reader in the traditions, language, and Read more...

Picnic in Someday Valley
by Jodi Thomas
"An enthralling group of characters you'll love to learn their stories"
Posted April 27, 2021

What a ragtag group of characters Jodi Thomas has created in PICNIC IN SOMEDAY VALLEY. First impression is that living in this time and place is certainly no picnic for its folk. They work hard and seem to have difficulty making time for play. But one thing is for Read more...

The Bookstore on the Beach
by Brenda Novak
"Awesome tale of people living with life altering secrets"
Posted April 4, 2021

I’ve been a fan of Brenda Novak since I read Lightning Strikes way back in 2012. I had requested it as a reviewer and started reading it with the preconceived notion that it was just another romance novel. Needless to say, the story Read more...

by RaeAnne Thayne
"Immensely enjoyable story about family"
Posted March 18, 2021

Independence is a hard-fought achievement but at what cost to forming connections with people? Jess and her sister Rachel couldn’t be more different. For most of their youth, they had been a team, and then their team was ripped apart by the foster care system. Rachel Read more...

From the Shadows
by B.J. Daniels
"Riveting murder mystery"
Posted February 11, 2021

I truly can’t figure out B.J. Daniels does it. . . FROM THE SHADOWS begins with a rather benign introduction to a man spending time in an empty, abandoned-looking hotel that is known for ghosts. Yes, you read Read more...

Things We Didn't Say
by Amy Lynn Green
"Creative method of telling an important story"
Posted January 19, 2021

"Historical romance done to perfection"
Posted January 14, 2021

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.
