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 […]
The Bromance Book Club series has worked its way into the must read category. I really enjoy getting the depth on a new couple in each book but getting to see all the guys in the club and sometimes their ladies. The humor is the real deal. I was a little worried about a country […]
The Pink Carnation series edges ever nearer to the final book and in this latest, we get to see the Pink Carnation’s own second in command stepping reluctantly into the limelight for this latest spying adventure slash treasure hunt from Paris to Bath and into the English countryside. Full of frolicksome humor, a pinch of […]
Since the first book, the series has turned the focus from classic Scarlet Pimpernel territory of France for other locales, but after the brief and light distraction of the Mischief of the Mistletoe, The Orchid Affair plunges into a caper set right under the nose of Napoleon himself with the suspense taking up even more […]
My experiences with this author have been hit or miss but Vanishing Hour was a huge win. I enjoyed the characters, the dog who played a real role, the romance and the mystery. I liked the main characters, Ava and Grant. Ava has been a corporate lawyer in Houston, who after her father’s death, has […]

The Heirs of Chicagoland series continues with the next generation in Chicago.  I am enjoying learning about them as individuals. They have various strengths and issues. The characters are developed a bit more in each book. We see Elisa having more political skills to work with other species. I’ve been enjoying the stories and it […]
Nothing like the gift of a cruise to send four older female assassins out in style, especially since the company has decided that only a deadly termination of their employment will do. Deanna Raybourn has written some sparkling historical mysteries, but this dive into a modern day thriller with senior citizen protagonists grabbed my fancy […]
I really wanted to try this one because of who the author is.  The narrator being a favorite tipped me into trying the audio.  Rules of Engagement looked to be just the kind of romantic suspense I enjoy. There is a complex set of layers in this world and in these characters. The main setting […]
I always enjoy the books by this author. I realize now they have have some similarities. The characters are based in interesting science study or work. The female is talented, smart and has not had good experiences with men. She has focused on her intellectual life more than her emotional one. Sometimes they have good […]
