While I enjoy what I perceive to be good fantasy stories, it is not my go-to genre. When I read books like this one, I wonder if it’s the genre or me. I could see glimpses of a good plot and characters, but then they would disappear only to reappear later in the book. Maybe … Continue reading Gems of the Druid by Bradley James Simpson
Romance
Crossing Lex by Debby Caruso
Ms. Caruso pulled me into her book Merry Hanukkah (or what I call the story of my life!) so when I saw she had published another book I grabbed it. When I saw that it was over 600 pages, I confess I was happy – sometimes I like totally disappearing into a book and I … Continue reading Crossing Lex by Debby Caruso
Lost in Amber by Esther Rabbit
This is a light and easy read – light sci-fi, light romance, a touch of witty banter between characters (one of my favorites!) and a dose of a good storyline. The main characters Zoey and her neighbor who just happens to be an Ambassador (from another planet) are well done and adorable in that trying … Continue reading Lost in Amber by Esther Rabbit

Love Fiesta Style: 17 Texas Short Stories by Various Authors
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you notice that I rarely read and review romance. In fact there are only two romance writers that I automatically say yes to - one of them is Jessie Scott. Of course, when she approached me about reading this collection I said yes! Plus the fact … Continue reading Love Fiesta Style: 17 Texas Short Stories by Various Authors
The Gilded King (Sovereign #1) by Josie Jaffrey
If you want to get totally lost in a book, this would be a good one to jump into. There are several main characters and all of them are very well developed. There are several plot lines running concurrently and they are also well developed. And that’s not all as there are several subplots that … Continue reading The Gilded King (Sovereign #1) by Josie Jaffrey
Three Lessons In Seduction by Sofie Darling
This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. Conundrums: Enigmatical conceits from A Classical dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. Each chapter in this book starts with a word and definition from that dictionary. When I first started the book I could not get into it. I spent the first few chapters trying to … Continue reading Three Lessons In Seduction by Sofie Darling
Escape to Oakbrook Farm by Hannah Ellis Being Released TODAY – August 8

This story is a sequel to The Cottage at Hope Cove that I thoroughly enjoyed. The story concentrates on … Continue reading Escape to Oakbrook Farm by Hannah Ellis Being Released TODAY – August 8
Evidence of Desire by Jessie Scott
OMG – the first chapter pulled me in, surprised me and made me want more but all the other chapters kept me reading. If you read my blog you know I can be a little picky when it comes to really great romance. It is rare that I even read this genre but to have … Continue reading Evidence of Desire by Jessie Scott
In the Weeds by Ruthie Robinson
Full disclosure – I have read every book this author has written and you know I am incredibly selective in my romance reads – around 5% of my yearly reads. But if I see this author’s name – I’m sold. She is the reason I started reading Indie Authors as the quality of her writing … Continue reading In the Weeds by Ruthie Robinson
