I loved The Girl in the Tower  even more than the first book in  the Winternight Trilogy.  I was lucky enough to start listening to it immediately after finishing The Bear and the Nightingale.  I have it from Penguin Random Audio but I ended up checking it out at the library because I liked the Overdrive […]

I was correct –  The One Wild Wish series is currently available in Kindle Unlimited.  Licks is an amazing conclusion to the year of the three friends working on their wishes.  High school friends broke up badly and 9 years later, after Gwen’s mother’s death, August turns up again. Gwen had always wanted to find her […]

A tale of underwater changelings and the human who volunteered to be their science experiment. Bowan has been a character  I’ve had mixed feelings about in prior books of this Psy-Changeling Trinity series.  I didn’t get all of Bo’s motivations to put a dangerous experimental chip in his head that protects him from psy manipulation […]

This dark world is not a positive place for women. They are either confined in a convent or they are servants and brood mares for men. Even young girls are beaten and tied up at the whim of men. The world-building is vivid and historical. The characters are so well-developed. It is woven from Russian […]

My favorite historical romance ever, Celia Garth, is also by this author. When I saw this was narrated by Gabra Zackman, I had to have it.  These books are historical fiction, in addition to the romance, which I think is the fascinating part. They were written about 50 years ago so the style and attitudes […]
