Oh my! I love this classic romantic comedy. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. Is there anything not to like? This is another classic from 1934 and a pure delight. It Happened One Night didn’t do to badly in the Oscars, winning five in 1935. But that’s not a reason to watch the movie… The reason is the great interaction between …
Two More Books I’ve Read Lately
For those of you who like romantic suspense, go grab Kit Wilkinson’s latest novel Sabotage from Love Inspired Suspense while it’s available. Kit crafts a novel centered in Virginia horse country. When Emilie Gill’s groom turns up dead, she finds herself the focus of the investigation. Then more begins to happen and she finds herself relying on her temporary groom …
Some Summer Read Recommendations…
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted reviews, so I wanted to let you know about a couple books I’ve been reading that I really enjoyed. Very different genres, but you expect nothing less from me right? 🙂 The Mailbox, Marybeth Whalen’s debut novel, reminded me of a Nicholas Sparks novel from the opening scene. Teenage love is found and then …
In Harm’s Way and Too Close to Home Reviews
In Harm’s Way arrived at my house in March, and the next morning I finished reading it. If you’re a fan of a romance with a strong suspense thread, this story is perfect. From the moment Nick and Rachel meet — even though the circumstances are strained — the attraction is popping. Yet the prologue sets up the suspense thread …
Distant Melodies
In A Distant Melody, readers meet two young Americans, about to be separated by an ocean during World War II: Never pretty enough to please her gorgeous mother, Allie will do anything to gain her approval–even marry a man she doesn’t love. Lt. Walter Novak–fearless in the cockpit but hopeless with women–takes his last furlough at home in California before …
Dead Reckoning Review and Tour
Dead Reckoning is Ronie Kendig’s debut novel and an absolute page-turner. I’m already hearing rumors that her second novel is even better which I frankly find hard to believe. This book rockets to a quick start from the first chapter and is a race that travels through exotic locales in a race to stop a nuclear disaster. The characters are …
Abigail: a review
Abigail has always been a special Biblical character to me. A strong woman who saved her household because of her wisdom and faith in God. She was beautiful, but that wasn’t her primary value. No, to me, I’ve always wanted to have the wisdom and humility she showed. So I was delighted to receive a copy of Jill Eileen Smith’s …
Double Trouble: A Review & Contest Info
Are you looking for a spring break read? Then Susan May Warren’s latest book may be perfect for you. PJ Sugar is back and just as stubborn about telling anyone what the P and J stand for. But she’s also a heroine I love to follow. She has sass, she has insecurities, she has a hope to live up to …
Love is in the Air: New Marriage Books
It’s that time of year: you know, when we begin to think about love. Yes, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. This year I’m making an effort to read some books on marriage and these books haven’t been an effort. It’s Not About You. It’s Not About Me. It’s About US…A User’s Guide has a really long title, but …
Watch Over Me Review
Watch Over Me is a powerfully offering from Christa Parrish. She has quickly become an author whose books I will read — unusually since her books aren’t suspense, straight romance, or a historical time period I love. This one is classified as contemporary fiction, but with overtones of women’s fiction. Even so, Watch Over Me pulled me in from the …
