Ladies' Lunch: and Other Stories
by Lore Segal
"Vignettes designed to resonate with the reader"
Posted May 20, 2024

Lore Segal has the gift of gab and so do her characters. I often found myself participating in their dialog. Almost as if I were there, reminding them they forgot a detail. Doesn’t that seem so awesomely real? Well, that is how LADIES LUNCH is. Jam-packed Read more...

Still See You Everywhere
by Lisa Gardner
"Frankie Elkin is back and in rare form."
Posted April 7, 2024

Hang onto your seats. The action never stops. Each scene morphs into another possible variable of this case. Each character has a very defined role. Formidable dialog.

"Quirky, strangely addictive mystery"
Posted March 31, 2024

Well they’re back. Yes the threesome Sara, Kate, and Jack. And of course there is the requisite murder to solve. Old murder, new case and Sara Medlar and her group are on it. Gruesome discovery unveiled by accident, one would say, but not true in this case Read more...

Me Without You
by Kelly Rimmer
"Delving into what life has in store."
Posted March 8, 2024

Here’s the thing about Kelly Rimmer, she hits hard right from the get-go and kind of challenges you to hang on for the adventure of your life. A rather complex version of a simplistic scenario. ME WITHOUT YOU centers around Callum and Lilah.

"great fun from beginning to end"

The Women
by Kristin Hannah
"An amazing story told with reverence to those that experienced this time."
Posted February 2, 2024

Ah, the wonderful, innocent world of the early 1960s. I remember it so well. But then it strikes home: how wonderful it was actually? When we talk about the 1960s, we reminisce about the Beatles, JFK, and rock and roll. But this was a very turbulent time. We all Read more...

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. Reviews

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.
