Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
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 →
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 →
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 →
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.

White Mist is yet another well-crafted story by Jaclyn Reding. As with the first three books in this series, I was drawn in immediately and did not want to leave. This is a book to be savored and perfect for a weekend curled up with your favorite beverage. Be forewarned, though; you'll need snacks around... Continue Reading →

Art of the Chase is utterly charming and a lovely diversion from everyday life. Ms. Brogan's writing style is delightful. This is the first I have read of her work, and I will definitely be reading more! From the moment they met, I knew Chase and Jo's story would be a joy to read. I... Continue Reading →
I just closed The Duchess Gamble and jumped right into this review. I knew if I waited longer it would be harder to write because once I've finished a review, the story is well and truly over. The dialog between Celia and Gabriel, mixed with the feelings they don't say aloud builds perfect tension as... Continue Reading →
