Vickie McDonough’s Romance in the Badlands series was re-released earlier this year as individual books. And, now it’s available as the full collection in “one” print book, which is always a great deal. These stories follow the McFarland siblings, and each one builds a little on the previous ones. While […]
Emma Grace had been in hiding for five years, having lived in fear for most of her life… Author Kimberley Woodhouse tells a tale filled with history, romance, and faith with a touch of mystery and suspense. Emma Grace’s feelings of being all alone in the world made my heart […]
What a wonderful story! Its pages were filled with stunning imagery, challenges, intrigue, faith, and romance. It was pretty amazing to picture Cora and Nathan ascending Mount Rainier (or Mount Tacoma, for those in that camp!) without the aid of the tools climbers today find indispensable. For the socialite to […]
One thing I enjoy about reading a series like Brothers in Arms is learning about characters through more than just one book. I was looking forward to reading Molly and Wyatt’s story… I was quite surprised to see how plucky Molly was! In the previous stories, she seemed content to […]
Hauntingly melancholic with glimmers of hope, The Gold in These Hills is a poignant story of broken lives mended. This time-split novel finds Johnny piecing together his shattered life and heart. And Juniper (June) struggling simply to survive. I would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite character. Each one was […]
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. […]
I have come to expect learning interesting tidbits of scientific progress during the Progressive Era when reading books by Elizabeth Camden. Her knack for weaving history with fiction in a compelling manner makes learning these things a pleasure. Patrick and Gwen were separated by centuries of wealth and prejudice. He […]
It’s only a hundred pages long. Yet, A Second Chance was the perfect length to tell Kira’s story. It is an interesting novella, packed with information about life, Samurai, and honor in sixteenth-century Japan. And, unlike Mussell’s other historical fiction, this one has the added element of time travel! Which […]
I have found that I have a fondness for stories of the men and women who did codebreaking during the Second World War. Instead of taking place in England as others I’ve read, The Cryptographer’s Dilemma takes place in the United States. And most of the story takes place outside […]
I have enjoyed these stories in the Dread Penny Society series very much! Just as in the other stories of the series, The Merchant and the Rogue is three stories in one. Two of them penny dreadfuls in their entirety. The author of one of them, Brogan Donnelly, is the […]
To Write a Wrong has an clever plot with humorous incidents. The interactions between Daphne and Herman were enjoyable. And Daphne’s penchant for swooning was cute and not overdone. Daphne’s attempts at disguising her identity as the wildly popular writer of mysteries only added to her charm. Whenever anyone began […]
Geneviève was a sweet, innocent young woman who has always done what her grand-mère expected – until she got the courage to run away to stop her brother from making a huge mistake! The courage she showed by traveling across the country alone was admirable. I enjoyed watching her blossom […]
