Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
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 →
One of my favorite things to do is pick up my grandson after school once a week. I bring a different book with me every time, whether it's new or from our home library. When I ordered Merriam-Webster's First Dictionary on Amazon, I had no idea how much fun the ride back to my house... Continue Reading →
Take one blind Viscount whose pride drives him to be independent and not a burden on his family. Add one strong-willed heroine, determined to make her own way in the world while helping others. Mix in a wonderful cast of secondary characters. Yield: one book I loved a lot! The third in Gayle Callen's The... Continue Reading →
From the High Street of Edinburgh, Scotland to the theatrical world of London, this is a story to be savored. With a strong female lead, Wicked Company takes the reader on a saga reminiscent of a series like Poldark. No matter what is thrown at Sophie, she perseveres. I found myself so engrossed in this book,... Continue Reading →
It was 1 am. I'd finished reading The Forgotten Prince a few minutes before. My cat was asleep against my left shoulder my husband was asleep against my right side. And me? After I breathed a contented sigh for a story well done, I had to refrain from the impulse to stomp my feet because... Continue Reading →
What a wonderful and heart-warming story! I started Odds on the Rake right before leaving for a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. If not for that, I'm sure I would never have put the book down until it was done. It was that good. Ms. Darling has woven a story with great characters and well-plotted twists. It has...

I used to consider myself a book snob. If “everyone” was reading a book, I didn’t touch it. When high school friends were reading Romance novels at the lunch table, I looked the other way. Well, almost. I read Jaws. I read Anne McCaffrey. I even read Gothic novels (oh, Victoria Holt, how I read... Continue Reading →
Absolutely! What, you wanted more? I love both! However. They both don’t love me. Of all the things I thought I’d have forever, it was the luxury of going to a library or bookstore, picking out what I wanted, and curling up to read it. There's just nothing like the scent and sound of turning... Continue Reading →
After having read Hyland Spy recently, I could not wait for Highland Ruse to come out. Oh, and I was not disappointed. For, as wonderful as Hyland Spy was, Hyland Ruse was even better! 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 →
