Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
I don't like to read contemporary fiction, especially ones written as beautifully as this one. You know the ones: They tug at your heartstrings, pulling them like old-fashioned taffy you can watch from outside a store window. Then, just as you're sure those strings will snap apart, they start to warm and become stronger than... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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. 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 →
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 →
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 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 →
