Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
Maybe it's the weather or the holiday season that's finally upon us, but I cannot help but compare Magic of Moonlight to a freshly made cup of hot chocolate. Not just any hot chocolate, either, but one swirled with caramel-like prose and laced with humor like little marshmallows floating in the mug. Alex and Trudy's... Continue Reading →
I love this author's writing style so much that I picked up this book without paying attention to the fact that it was the second in a series, figuring I'd enjoy this one. I was right! The Rake's Convenient Bride stands wonderfully on its own. Elizabeth and Jasper's story grabbed my attention from the start... Continue Reading →
Intelligently written, Marry Me, Marquess is a wonderful tale that kept me engaged from start to finish. It is filled with deep emotion and detailed information about the main characters' first loves—his is antiquarianism, and hers is botany. I tend to expect to be frustrated with the story based on a fake relationship. Instead, my... Continue Reading →
Let me start by saying I loved this book. However, my timing for starting it left something to be desired. This is by no means the fault of the author. I blame my husband. You see just as the sun was setting while we were away for a conference he attended, he declared that the... Continue Reading →

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...

I love when I get caught up in a sweeping historical novel, and this one was just breathtaking. Ms. Ware has deftly entwined a love story for the ages within the beautifully researched settings of Scotland, England, and the American Colonies in the 1700s. It begins in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1760, where we meet our... Continue Reading →
