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 →

Book Review: Wicked Company by Ciji Ware
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.

Book Review: The Forgotten Prince by Tanya Anne Crosby
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?

Book Review: Odds on the Rake by Sofie Darling
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...

Book Review: Highland Ruse by Madeline Martin
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 →
Book Review: Three Times a Lady by Eileen Dreyer
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 →
Book Review: Highlander in Her Bed by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
Mara and Alex's story in Highlander in Her Bed unfolds within rich and heartfelt descriptions of Scotland. The author's beautifully chosen words brought me back to times when I visited there and fell in love with the country. The book is filled with elements of fantasy (he is a ghost, after all). There were a... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Highland Echo by Willa Blair
Having read the first four books in the Highland Talents Heritage series by Willa Blair, I was ready for a good story. It was a great story. It was an on-the-edge-of-my-seat, oh-no-I-can't-read-further-but-can't-put-it-down and an oh-what-a-romance story. It was an I'm-sorry-it-ended-when-is-the-next-one story. It is important to note that Eilidh and Bhaltair's story stood beautifully on its... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Madness Through the Looking Glass by J.G. Sauer
When I realized this book was a sequel, I grabbed the first book: "New Year's Through the Looking Glass." It was so good I read it in two sittings and immediately jumped into "Madness Through the Looking Glass." What a great week of reading this was!Before I go any further, I highly recommend you pick...
