Oh my! Grace was such a fun heroine!! A delightful blend of naiveté and knowledge, filled with sunshine and made almost everyone around her feel lighter merely being in her presence. Frederick was a wonderful broken hero. I loved the way he learned to see himself differently through Grace’s eyes. […]
At one of the companies I worked for, the guys loved to play practical jokes on each other. The one-upmanship was intense at times but always done in fun. I had never set out to partake in the fun – even after becoming a “victim” of their attention. One of […]
Everywhere to Hide was unusual because of the details that weren’t shared. Whitney’s face blindness rendered her unable to “map” faces and therefore she had no way of recognizing anyone’s face. It also meant that as she related her story, she didn’t describe anyone by their facial features or by […]
When a beloved author writes a in new genre, one that is a departure from what I have come to expect, I normally just get excited and dive right in. At least I have until recently. The True Colors series by Barbour is one that has me hesitating. These are […]
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 […]
There is such a beauty to Laura Frantz’s writing style that resonates with my soul. Slipping into her stories is like slipping into my coziest pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate. Evocative, beautifully descriptive, with the ability to transport me to a different time that is at once familiar […]
It’s hard to believe so many books have already been released in the Peacock Hill series! I have enjoyed getting to know this group of friends. This time, Claire gets to have her turn at romance. Deidre and Duncan’s younger sister has been enamored with Danny almost since she met […]
Something New follows in the grand tradition of all books by Joanne Bischof. You will feel the rolling of the ship in the storm; smell the wildflowers in the garden, ache with the labor of felling trees. And you will be drawn into a story full of longing and hope, […]
Vanessa and Topher have been like oil and water, constantly getting on one another’s nerves. Poor Sean (you do remember him from A Heart Redirected, right?), the wedding planner, had his hands full with the two of them, especially as they were both becoming quite popular for weddings. I enjoyed getting […]
I am a terrible liar, or so I’ve been told. Wait!! I’m not terrible as in I lie all the time. I’m terrible at telling lies because my facial expression gives it away. My friend, Don, is an amazing illusionist and he does a number of “mind-reading” tricks. The fun […]
I have been reading about Love and Other Mistakes on social media for a couple of months now and was looking forward to reading it. I had a mental image of it being lighthearted, humorous, Chick Lit set in Australia – after all, the author is from there. . . […]
Cold War. Double Agent. Assassins. Secret Identities. What’s not to love? I had never heard of H.L. Wegley until he contacted me to see if I was interested to read and review his book. In the course of our discussions, I discovered we have a common love of photography and […]
