I love it when books cause me to picture scenes in them days after I finish them. Beautifully written, The Secret Gift is one of those books! I found it thoroughly engrossing and devoured it quickly. Days later, images from the story popped into my head randomly and made me smile. I did, however, have... Continue Reading →
When I read the description of this book, it grabbed my attention so much that I immediately read the first two in the series. I am so glad I did. Although A Touch of Magic stands well on its own, reading the first two added more depth to an otherwise wonderful story. Ms. Boucher's writing... Continue Reading →
I love Cynthia Wright's writing style. However, I was a little wary when I first started reading His Fiery Angel. When we first meet Camille, "fiery" is an understatement. To be honest, she drove me a little nuts…at first. Benedict had me intrigued at his first interaction with Camille. However, when he returned to his... Continue Reading →

I also make no excuse for the grammar issues, including mixed tenses within today's blog. I will take responsibility, however, for... Continue Reading →
No, this isn't a relationship post. Or is it? I'll let you decide that. That's what the comment section is for. As for me, I firmly believe in Magic. I don't mean the "abracadabra" type, but the Magic of everyday life. I also believe in the Magic of extraordinary day life. Let's focus on that... Continue Reading →
Hang on to your fedora. You're in for a page-turning adventure! Many years ago, I read the first iteration of Empire of Shadows, The Smoke Hunter. So, I had an inkling of what I was getting into when I decided to read this book. Or so I thought. When I started Empire of Shadows, it... Continue Reading →
After finishing the prequel to Charmless (Disenchanted), I was practically pacing waiting for this book to be released. The wait was worth it, and then some! Charmless picks up right after Disenchanted ended and is a perfect sequel. It has everything I love in a fairytale romance: adventure, magic, strong characters, unexpected twists and turns,...
