I do so love a great historical fiction tale. This book covered a period of history that I know little about and has led me to go looking for more. While the story starts with the main character as a young, naïve and sheltered girl, circumstance soon leads to her maturing and using her intellect … Continue reading The Stars of Heaven by Jessica Dall
Romance
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
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
Guess Who by Nesly Clerge & Joyce Shafer
I have read and reviewed two previous books from Nesly Clerge so when this one popped up, I paused. Why have a co-author? While I am still not sure of the why – I was pleased with the results. The main character, Tessa is a fish out of water, hard core southern girl trying to … Continue reading Guess Who by Nesly Clerge & Joyce Shafer
Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
Having read all of this series, so far (the last book, Five being anxiously anticipated), it is always a joy to return to the land of Jior created by Wendy Anderson. This author has a way of weaving what at the base is a family saga into a love story that crosses all the barriers … Continue reading Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
OCAAT Book Two by Ruthie Robinson
I have patiently been waiting (2 years!) for the conclusion to this story and it was definitely worth the wait! Two of my favorite characters and half-sisters Sydney and Shelby are back. They have matured and become strong women who are trying to find their way. Ruthie Robinson has a way of telling an intense, … Continue reading OCAAT Book Two by Ruthie Robinson
The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
As the Indie Author’s market is developing, I am seeing more and more books that appear just as professional as those coming out of the traditional publishing market. However most of the time the Indies have a better story and this is a perfect example of that. In the theme of great mystery authors, like … Continue reading The Coin by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
Happy Everything (Merry Hanukkah Series) by Debby Caruso
I fell in love with this author and her characters in her first book. It was as if she had taken some pages directly from my life (Rhonda with her list making, organization, always trying to make everyone happy and feeling guilty if they are not, hits way too close to home) – so I … Continue reading Happy Everything (Merry Hanukkah Series) by Debby Caruso
A Timed Wager (The Lost Trinkets Series Book 1) by Sherrie Lea Morgan
In August at the Indie Book Fest in Orlando, this author was offering this novella at a special price. Never one to pass up a deal I bought it and let’s just say it was a steal. Think a box of trinkets with a past, someone who can read the past and a twin sister … Continue reading A Timed Wager (The Lost Trinkets Series Book 1) by Sherrie Lea Morgan
Dear Lorna: A Love Story by L. E. Perez
I heard this author speak at the Indie Book Fest (now Orlando Reads Book Group). I go with my gut when I hear authors speak and I found this articulate person very engaging. She writes a wide variety of genres and I was trying to figure out which one I would like to read when … Continue reading Dear Lorna: A Love Story by L. E. Perez
