All Through the Night was a book I picked up expecting to like, but not inhale the way I did. I enjoyed My Soul to Keep, and thought this book would be similar. Nope, this one definitely upped the meter on the suspense. And LOVED the hero and supporting characters. In All Through the Night, Davis Bunn’s latest book, broken …
Searching for Spice Review
Megan DiMaria’s debut novel Searching for Spice is a fun switch from the typical books I read. It was one I savored instead of racing through. Here’s a synopsis: Linda Revere longs to have a sizzling affair … with her husband — a practical, no-nonsense community college science teacher. Unfortunately, life isn’t scripted, and nothing goes according to plan. From …
Love Starts with Elle Trailer
This made me smile. I loved the book, but this is the first time I’ve got to meet the star of a book I enjoyed. Go get this book, folks! What do you like in book trailers? What makes you want to go buy a book? I’m still trying to decide whether to make them for my books…but this one …
Wiser than Serpents Review & Author Contest
Susan May Warren’s latest thriller Wiser than Serpents, is another page-turning, nail-biting, can’t-life-stop-until-I’m-done? kind of book. The third in the Mission:Russia series, this book from Steeple Hill stands completely on its own. Somehow I have book two but managed not to read it, yet didn’t feel like I missed anything that was important to this book. Yanna Andrevka infiltrates a …
Act Two: A Review
Act Two: a Novel in Perfect Pitch is a delightful offering from Kimberly Stuart. This is the first of her books that I’ve read, though I’ve heard great things about her books. Particularly from a friend of mine who happens to be her agent. Any thoughts he was merely biased evaporated as I read this book. New Yorker Sadie Maddox …
A Mile in My Flip-Flops: Review and First Chapter
I loved this book! Gretchen Hanover is stuck and decides to take on a house flip. A devoted watcher of HGTV, she’s decided flipping a house may be just the ticket to get her back into the flow of life. As a former HGTV addict, I could so relate to the idea behind Gretchen’s transformation. Of course, she bit off …
Calico Canyon Review
Mary Connealy has done it again. Calico Canyon is a book filled with humor, fun and romance. She’s taken a time period (late 1860s) and a genre (Texas cowboys) that I’m tired of and made it fresh. Where Petticoat Ranch was filled with girls, this book is filled with holy terrors otherwise known as boys. Grace Calhoun has run from …
Beloved Castaway Review
Every time I swear I’m going to slow down on reviews, I find a book like Beloved Castaway by Kathleen Y’Barbo. I hadn’t read any of Kathleen’s books prior to this one, and I wasn’t sure I’d like another pirate series, but decided to give it a chance anyway. I was not disappointed. Isabelle Gayarre is a desperate woman who …
Anathema Review
If you’ve read my blog or reviews, you’ve probably figured out I’m a fan of Colleen Coble’s suspense. They are all so good! Sometimes I wonder when — if — I’ll be disappointed. Her latest release, Anathema, tops them all. In Anathema, Colleen brings her fiction to Indiana for the first time, this time in the heart of Parke County …
Prince Caspian: Spiritual and Writing Lessons
Eric and I finally got to the theaters to see Prince Caspian this weekend. I guess having a baby the weekend before the movie opened gives me an excuse for the delay — but this was a movie I really wanted to see on the big screen. Then I was afraid — as we walked into the theater — that …
