Time to tell the truth. When I get a free book for signing up for a newsletter, I rarely read it. But I signed up for Black Rose Writing, and they offered this read. I read it because I am a baseball fan. Not one of those, knows all the stats kind of fan, but … Continue reading The Fat Lady’s Low, Sad Song by Brian Kaufman
Book Review
The Ex: Book Two of the Rogue Warrior Series by Margaret Ferguson
This adventure read, with a touch of romance, was a quick-paced page-turner. Eddie Roark is a relatable main character who easily pulled me into the story and happily kept me there as he dealt with a plethora of sensational situations. With many lives at stake Eddie’s ability to categorize and deal with multiple situations and … Continue reading The Ex: Book Two of the Rogue Warrior Series by Margaret Ferguson
Void of Power: New Generation by Andrew C. Raiford
This book seriously made me want to change my name to Jennifer! Every character in this story is a fully developed person that I could easily have as a friend or neighbor. For a first time fiction author, this book was a very pleasant surprise in story development and keeping me intrigued. With two strong … Continue reading Void of Power: New Generation by Andrew C. Raiford
Marriage & Ministry (A Pride and Prejudice Novel) by Amanda Kai
Are you a curious person? I am, so when I heard this author speak at Patchouli Joe’s Books about her novel giving life to Charlotte and Mr. Collins, I was interested. I always wondered why Charlotte jumped into that marriage and what could be happening behind closed doors. This book quenched that thirst. Written in … Continue reading Marriage & Ministry (A Pride and Prejudice Novel) by Amanda Kai
The Damned Ones (The Damned Books #2) by Chris Miller
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, “Chris Miller’s books scare the crap out of me.” So why do I keep reading them? The man can weave a story! Twenty-six years have passed since The Damned Place, and life for the characters has been mostly normal. But you know it can’t last. This … Continue reading The Damned Ones (The Damned Books #2) by Chris Miller
Murder is a Dirty Business (Grime Pays Mystery) by Tricia L. Sanders
A few weeks ago, I went to Patchouli Joe’s to support an author I edit and to hear a panel of authors discuss publishing. (OK total honesty – it is also next to a dive bar the hubby wanted to go to and near a restaurant I have wanted to try – who knew there … Continue reading Murder is a Dirty Business (Grime Pays Mystery) by Tricia L. Sanders
Seeds of Desire: A Tales of Desire Novel by Jessie Scott
This is the second book I have enjoyed from this author. While they appear as a series, each book is a standalone story with new characters. A common theme connects them. The sex is not always perfect, the characters are not perfect, their worlds are far from perfect, and all of that adds together for … Continue reading Seeds of Desire: A Tales of Desire Novel by Jessie Scott
Relative Velocity by Cameron Harrie
The other day I tweeted that a 15-minute reading break turned into an hour with this book. I had started it a few days earlier and was reading it slowly. This author pleasantly surprised and entertained me with his first book, stories about people. And then there was silence for over 2 years until this … Continue reading Relative Velocity by Cameron Harrie
Blue Sail (The Iron Age of Piracy Book One) by Aaron S Gallagher
One of this author's most prominent talents is the development of his characters. They are fully formed people in every aspect and that is reflected his books. This time he outdid himself. The main character, Piter has a many faceted personality and his second, Gwendolyn – well, let's just say I know who she is … Continue reading Blue Sail (The Iron Age of Piracy Book One) by Aaron S Gallagher
Song of the Shaman (Songs of Steppe & Forest Book 2) by C. P. Lesley
I love Historical Fiction, especially when, like this book, the time period has been so well researched. However, I rarely find one written about the 16th Century that is such an easy read. This author kept to a more modern angle when writing the dialogue, and that will make this an excellent read for even … Continue reading Song of the Shaman (Songs of Steppe & Forest Book 2) by C. P.
