Oh my, I loved this book! How could I resist a book with elves, fae, magic, and a dragon? Ivy's story is one of adventure, betrayal, mystery, and so much more. She is joined by a cast of characters that kept me wondering about their motives throughout the book. Elven House of Ivy is action-packed... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Second Chance by Jaclyn Reding
Let me start by saying I have turned into a big fan of this author's work. While I rarely read contemporary Romances, I could not resist this one. It's a sequel to The Secret Gift, and although both were published once before (a number of years ago), they are new to me, and I am... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Countess of Stars by Kimberly Cates
When I pick up a book by this author, I know I am in for a great story. Countess of Stars was no exception. However, I did not expect the story of these characters in this sequel to Once Upon a Storm. Without explaining why (spoilers, darling!), I disliked Lucien so much in the first... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Haunted Warrior by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
Have you ever started a great book and had it interrupted by a cold or some other bug that sneaks up on you quickly? That was me reading Haunted Warrior. I started it just as I was starting to feel slightly under the weather. It was a perfect distraction until the fever kicked in, and... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Picket Fence by Kimberly Cates
I have never met a book by Ms. Cates that I didn't love. Yes, I mean "met." Her storytelling and story-building skills are so well-honed that I find myself quickly wrapped up in the worlds she creates. Reading Picket Fence was like taking a virtual hike up a mountain when I had no idea I'd... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Never Dare a Duke by Gayle Callen
You know that moment. You're watching a TV program, and the main character is about to do something so wrong or embarrassing that you can't look. You close your eyes so you don't have to see it happening, but you can still listen. As uncomfortable as it is, you don't want to step away. And, when... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Gingerbread Queen by Carrie Anne Noble
Admittedly, I am a big fan of books based on fairy tales, and The Gingerbread Queen is no exception. A true page-turner, I did not want to put it down! I even fell asleep reading just for that "one more chapter." This story of Hansel and Gretel as adults is simply captivating and filled with... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Secret Gift by Jaclyn Reding
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 →
Book Review: A Touch of Magic by Rita Boucher
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 →
Book Review: His Fiery Angel by Cynthia Wright
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 →
