What a warm and wonderful story this was! From the moment Hugh spotted Stasia, I was hooked and enchanted. I was so enthralled that I could not put it down! My cat even tried to get between me and my Kindle, but she finally settled for draping herself across my arm so I could keep... Continue Reading →
Her Secret Rogue – A Review
What a wonderful and well-crafted story this was! I thoroughly enjoyed Her Secret Rogue with its perfect blend of history, mystery, and (of course) Romance! Freddie and Anthony's story captured my attention quickly and my heart soon followed. The third in Ms. Wright's Rakes & Rebels series, this book stands alone perfectly. The main characters...

Sixty-Thousand Mile Tune-up?
Or how to look forward to a tooth extraction? I tend to think of my body as a chassis for my soul. Most of you that know me know that I used to be an energy worker. (Okay, technically, I still am.) I assisted in teaching Tai Chi, practiced Reiki and more for many years.... Continue Reading →
The Witching Hour – A Review
The Witching Hour is a hauntingly lovely novella. It didn't take long to draw me in, wondering and questioning, as I came to care about Sylvie and James. The more I read, the more I needed to know, and I could not put it down until I reached the end.
Tools of the Day
My head is clear this morning! There are days when I have energy but can’t put more than a few thoughts together at a time. Or days, when I have energy and my head, is clear, but my left eye is a bit fuzzy. You get the idea, I’m sure. So, today I am debating... Continue Reading →
Once Upon a Storm – A Review
When you've read as many books as I have in my years (we won't say how many years) it takes a deft hand at writing to be truly surprised. The depth of the characters, the intricate layers, and the compelling story drew me in and never let go. Once Upon a Storm is a book... Continue Reading →
Disney Accommodation – part two
Okay, I get it. That last post about staying on or off Disney property was a cliffhanger. I can fix that. This post is about what I prefer. (The last one was trying to show some pros and cons, knowing everyone has different budgets, etc.) As someone over 60, who is also living with post-covid... Continue Reading →
The Heart’s Haven – a review
There are Romance books and then there are Romance novels. This is most definitely the latter. Written by one of my favorite Romance authors, Jill Barnett, Hallie and Kit's story has a depth to it that begs to be read the way one sips their first cup of Mexican cocoa. I settled in to "sip"...

Disney Accommodation – on property or off?
Whew! We’re back in New Hampshire after a week staying just outside of Orlando. It’s nice to be home and I really don’t miss the warmer weather…too much. As always, our house-sitter did an awesome job. The house did well while we missed some crazy-dangerous cold weather. Even the cats are still speaking to us.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes by Colleen Gleason
Reading Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes drew me in so deeply that when I got to a suspenseful moment (or two), I found myself closing my eyes like I would if I was watching a movie. Of course, that was counterproductive to actually reading the book, but there I was sneaking peeks at the next sentence before... Continue Reading →
