I was a little in awe of the way the author maintained the voice of Worie in her speech and her thoughts throughout the story! Narrated in the first person, the entire story was told with an Appalachian accent. I have not often seen this done – it certainly worked […]
While not a completely new concept – the woman who grew up away from civilization – Mary Davis makes it fresh and new in The Damsel’s Intent. I really appreciated that she didn’t make Nicole out to be completely inept and unable to fit into society because of her isolation. […]
This was a fun series from a new-to-me author. I really liked the way the author spent plenty of time on each scene, developing it well and letting it come to its natural conclusion. There was plenty of time for real-life to take place. Norah was caught completely off guard […]
Finding the Road Home simply made me smile! It is everything a sweet romance should be. Heart-warming. Funny. Sweet. Add just a pinch of conflict and there you have it! I loved Mitch! This cowboy-police chief had sacrificed himself to raise his five younger siblings when their mom died and […]

I’ve seen movies about the Oklahoma Land Rush and have been fascinated seeing the motivations of the various […]

With women relegated to second place, daughters being forced to marry against their wishes, ladies discouraged from learning anything useful or doing too much reading. Yuck! When Emeline ‘s step-mother reveals her dastardly […]

She does not merely pen stories, she carefully crafts her words to create rich satisfying narratives that make me smile. Just in Time for Christmas is no exception. As a case in point, as […]
I don’t give five star reviews out without making the author earn it. Stories need to be more than just great in order to earn them. Because of this, many authors who write books I enjoy still don’t get all five star reviews. Davalynn Spencer is one author who has […]
“Did you see the snowy egret?” My friend, Jean, and I enjoy bird watching and know many of the Florida birds, especially the larger ones. We have so many different varieties of birds that enjoy frequenting the ponds here. Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Little Blue Herons, Anhinga, Wood Storks. […]
