I’ve been really enjoying the Well Met series with its setting in renaissance faires. In each book, we meet more of the regular performers who travel the circuit of faires.  One wouldn’t have to read the series in order, but I do because of the character developments and knowing more about the supporting characters. The […]
Bringing the ancient and mystical land of Egypt, during the time of the Pharaohs, alive, with a semblance of authenticity and a story to engage the reader, is no mean feat. I saw the title on this one and then read the blurb. I was compelled to read it and hopefully discover a new to […]
Always the overlooked, plain daughter, but what will she do with the chance to become something more? Lovers of underdog heroines, curious mysteries, and historical settings that bring the past to life need look no further for your reading pleasure. I was tickled to give this delightful debutant book in the series a go. The […]
I really enjoy the Life Fiction stories this author is writing. They are more authentic with more details and development of multiple characters than one finds in regular romance titles. But there is often romance in the story also. Always the Last to Know features a family with two daughters. They are authentic and flawed […]
When I spotted the title, I pictured a much different story- one that had a modern group of eclectic people sipping their wine or tea, discussing Austenâs works and eventually their personal lives. But, then I noticed the blurb and a spark of excitement leaped in me because this wasnât âaâ Jane Austen society (or […]
I finally managed to read this book I won in a giveaway earlier in the year. Fallen Mountains follows a few old friends since childhood in a small town when one goes missing. I love the way the characters are developed with none being perfect; they all have their human failings. It has a very […]
I have loved this series and these characters so much in the Book of the Ancestor trilogy.  I got the ARC but decided I really wanted to read this first on audio and was able to do so, although only barely by release date. I also forgot to read Bound, a very short novella set shortly […]
ICYMI is a post from my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks.  You can see the original review here. Ghost Layer is the second book in the Ghost Seer series  by Robin D. Owens. I loved the first book, Ghost Seer. I have to tell you a funny story about it. I got a package […]
Dry is a dystopian ecological disaster story based a little in fact and a lot in what if. Â It loosely reminds me of one of those blockbuster movies like 2012 and San Andreas where some things are just a smidge too over the top but you let it go because that is the movie you […]
This is what I was looking for in the last two books in  The Great Library series. In them, there were battles and they were on the run, and at the end of each book, it was kind of like a cliffhanger with a new life -threatening crisis location for the following book. The series should be […]
