I fell in love with Flora Flowerdew in the first book: Flora Flowerdew and Mystery of the Duke's Diamonds. So, of course, I absolutely had to read Flora Flowerdew and the Mystery of the Purloined Papers as soon as I could get my hands on it. I was right. A wonderful Novella, it is light,...

Reading The Adventurer by Jaclyn Reding reminded me of the days when I used to do counted cross-stitch. Hear me out. At the start of a cross stitch project, most people start in the very center of the canvas. This story starts with the heroine, Isabella, at the center of the story. As the cross-stitcher...

Well-crafted and heart-touching, Delilah and Kaid's story was nearly impossible to put down. It's full of adventure with very strong female characters. Although... Continue Reading →
Oh my. I absolutely love Eileen Dreyer's writing style, and Three Times a Lady is no exception. Pip and Beau's story grabbed me from the very start and I did not want to let go. Now, I have to admit, I did not read the first two books in this series. Normally, if I'm going... Continue Reading →
Having read the first four books in the Highland Talents Heritage series by Willa Blair, I was ready for a good story. It was a great story. It was an on-the-edge-of-my-seat, oh-no-I-can't-read-further-but-can't-put-it-down and an oh-what-a-romance story. It was an I'm-sorry-it-ended-when-is-the-next-one story. It is important to note that Eilidh and Bhaltair's story stood beautifully on its... Continue Reading →
