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
Diary of a Single Wedding Planner (Tales Behind the Veils Book 1) By Violet Howe
Next week I will be attending the Indie Book Fest in Orlando (I know hot, humid, etc – I’m from Texas – it’s a normal day). This sponsoring author offered her book for free CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR FREE NOOK or (CLICK HERE FOR A FREE FROM THAT A PLACE) to read before meeting her … Continue reading Diary of a Single Wedding Planner (Tales Behind the Veils Book 1) By Violet Howe
Gems of the Druid by Bradley James Simpson
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
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
