I’m always curious how much I will enjoy the second book by an author, especially when it is in a series. I have found that some authors consistently write books that I love, some authors consistently write books that I dislike, and some authors get mixed reviews from me. Esme’s […]
The List is such an amazing story! I have always enjoyed Biblical fiction and yet read it so carefully to make sure there are no flagrant errors in doctrine. I worry a little when I read about some of the more well-known Biblical figures, in case they are not represented […]
Full of quirky characters and mystery, The Art of Eavesdropping was a whole lot of fun! Elliot, having grown up in the jungles of Yerba (don’t worry, you won’t have heard of it – it’s an imaginary country in the Amazon jungle), lacked context for Americanisms and was quite out […]
When Brent and Diana reunited after four long years of separation, life didn’t simply return to normal. Too many secrets hold them apart and prevent the return to the intimacy they just started to build as a newly married couple. The imagery of a London blasted by Hitler’s blitz was […]
When accusations of treasonous behavior by one of his ancestors threaten Tucker’s campaign for Sheriff, he and his best friend, Penelope, set out to disprove the slander by seeking the treasure his family was accused of stealing. I was captivated from the start by Liz Johnson’s clever way with words. […]
I’ve read a few short stories by Regina Rudd Merrick in several of the Mosaic Collections and was interested to read a full-length book of hers. Romance with a hint of mystery? Sounds great! Nick and Lisa were wonderfully human, with normal insecurities and fears. Their plans got derailed when […]
My Thoughts The second book of the Empires of Armageddon series, Persian Betrayal continues Brain Mullaney’s adventures in protecting the US Embassy and the ambassador in Israel. Just as in Ishmael Covenant, it is filled with explosions, intrigue, and treachery. If you have not yet read Ishmael Covenant, be warned […]
Reading the synopsis, I wondered how much like The Parent Trap The Secret Sisters Club would turn out to be. While the overall theme is the same, the story is very different, much to my relief. Of the two girls, I much preferred Tillie. She was more a gentle rule-follower […]
Combining current events with Biblical prophecy and Jewish mysticism, Ishmael Covenant is a fascinating beginning to the Empires of Armageddon series. Brian Mullaney is a broken man. One who loves the Lord but doesn’t understand why his life is falling apart. When he is thrust into a cauldron of turmoil […]
By the time I was finished reading, I had a tear or two in my eyes from the sweetness of this lovely story told through letters, journal entries, and beautiful narrative. As much as I love boy-next-door stories, I especially love historical boy-next-door-stories! Not only is A Life Once Dreamed […]
I was so excited to see that Tammy L. Gray was releasing another book! It has been a while and I enjoy her writing very much! What fun it was sinking into the pleasure of Love and a Little White Lie! It was the perfect blend of searching, snark, friendship, […]
My Thoughts The beginning of a new series seemed like a great time to immerse myself in Kristi Ann Hunter’s Regency world. I have only read one of her stories, Legacy of Love from The Christmas Heirloom anthology. I enjoyed it so much I made note to read more by […]
