I like to start a new book slowly, one or two chapters at a time until I get halfway through and jump in feet first. Not this time. From the very beginning, Highland Spy caught my interest and did not let go. The only thing that kept me from reading every spare moment of the... Continue Reading →
Dueling with the Duke – A Review
My, that was a lot of energy packed into a novella! My curiosity was piqued by the description and the story truly delivered. Georgie and Adam are strong, independent characters that work perfectly together as the plot builds and intensifies. I even developed a soft spot for Georgie's late husband. You'll see what I mean when... Continue Reading →
Ill Met by Moonlight – A Review
What a warm and wonderful story this was! From the moment Hugh spotted Stasia, I was hooked and enchanted. I was so enthralled that I could not put it down! My cat even tried to get between me and my Kindle, but she finally settled for draping herself across my arm so I could keep... Continue Reading →
Her Secret Rogue – A Review
What a wonderful and well-crafted story this was! I thoroughly enjoyed Her Secret Rogue with its perfect blend of history, mystery, and (of course) Romance! Freddie and Anthony's story captured my attention quickly and my heart soon followed. The third in Ms. Wright's Rakes & Rebels series, this book stands alone perfectly. The main characters...

The Witching Hour – A Review
The Witching Hour is a hauntingly lovely novella. It didn't take long to draw me in, wondering and questioning, as I came to care about Sylvie and James. The more I read, the more I needed to know, and I could not put it down until I reached the end.
Once Upon a Storm – A Review
When you've read as many books as I have in my years (we won't say how many years) it takes a deft hand at writing to be truly surprised. The depth of the characters, the intricate layers, and the compelling story drew me in and never let go. Once Upon a Storm is a book... Continue Reading →
The Heart’s Haven – a review
There are Romance books and then there are Romance novels. This is most definitely the latter. Written by one of my favorite Romance authors, Jill Barnett, Hallie and Kit's story has a depth to it that begs to be read the way one sips their first cup of Mexican cocoa. I settled in to "sip"...

Book Review: Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes by Colleen Gleason
Reading Stakes, Cakes and Mandrakes drew me in so deeply that when I got to a suspenseful moment (or two), I found myself closing my eyes like I would if I was watching a movie. Of course, that was counterproductive to actually reading the book, but there I was sneaking peeks at the next sentence before... Continue Reading →
Words and Imagination
At a young age, I knew in my heart I was a writer. There’s just something magical about putting pen to paper and watching the words flow into a story. Yes, I know, I’m typing right now. Let’s skip over that for the moment. About that “flowing into a story” thing. I was surprised to... Continue Reading →
The Current Current
The hum of our generator growls reassuringly, tucked in a corner just outside our back door. It’s been on since just after midnight. How do I know this? Because I was up until just shy of midnight finishing a book. The review for it was due today. (Yes it was worth the lack of sleep.)... Continue Reading →
