Jody Hedlund’s newest young adult series takes place in an imaginary country, perhaps during the Middle Ages. It is the story of three princesses who were secreted away to save their lives when their kingdom was conquered. Evermore has also been released and will be reviewed here tomorrow. Foremost and […]
The Dive Team Investigations series has come to a breathtaking conclusion with the release of One Final Breath. Wow! What an adventure! I have loved the couples in each of these stories. That they all played a significant role throughout the series made it all the more enjoyable. This exciting […]
Poppy took the New York Four Hundred by storm when her grandmother blackmailed her into coming for a Season. Unconventional, to say the least, she was constantly shocking the staid Upper Crust with her constant faux pas. I loved that she didn’t set out to brook convention. In fact, she […]
Sweet Melody is delightful and filled with romance. Lindsay was still reeling from the destruction of her parents’ dream closely followed by their death.

It seems there aren’t as many books about the time surrounding World War I as there are for World War II. And of those, fewer that take place here in the United States. I enjoyed seeing this coastal town in Oregon at the beginning of our involvement in the Great […]
