I tried this author’s work for the North Carolina settings. The books I have read are historical fiction and deal with the aspects of racism and mistreatment of minorities, including women. The characters are well developed whether they are compassionate and caring or angry bigots. I was in suspense as I waited to see what […]
Dark Night is the third book in the Alaska Wild Mysteries. I would read the series in order as both the mystery plot arc and the personal relationships grow throughout the series. Each book has smaller mysteries in addition to, and sometimes tangled up in, the main series mysteries. There is some small town quirkiness […]
Testifying against a mob boss has put a woman’s life in danger and the only place she is safe is in the distant Montana mountains on a ranch with a former law-man. Donna Grant blends country charm with tension-wrought romantic suspense so well that I didn’t hesitate to grab up this latest set during the […]
A Reckless Match is the first book of the well names series Ruthless Rivals, which is a romantic spin on a family rivalry akin to Romeo and Juliet or the Hatfield’s and McCoys. Maddie and Gryff’s family’s have been at it for generations since someone stole a pig or possibly a woman, it has been […]
I was so done with Vampire books, like so over then. But then what happens is a favorite author of mine is like ‘hey I’m writing this book and it is about vampires’. And I TOTALLY fall over myself saying “What! I love vampire books, tell me more.” If I didn’t ultimately enj0y myself through […]
There were some open threads I was wanting to know after A Bad Day for Sunshine, which started this new Sunshine Vicram series from Darynda Jones. Sunshine is the new sheriff. Her parents live here. We have learned a little of her history, but there is some of her past she doesn’t remember. Her daughter, […]
In the final book of the Forgotten Empires series, I began with the feeling of desolation.  Things had gone poorly when Anure attacked. I had really hoped Lia, Conri and Ambrose would all learn to better use and control their magic but that was not the Fiery Crown. The couple did get to know each […]
Tempting Fate is the fourth book in the Goode Girls series. It can absolutely be read as a standalone as I had not read any of the other books prior to this one. Tempting Fate’s hero reminded me slightly of the Phantom of the Opera. A man who hid in the shadows for most of […]
Legacy is more Life Fiction than Romantic Suspense to me.  It covers childhood to present in the main character’s life, Adrian Rizzo.  She had some challenges with a detached single mom but luckily had supportive grandparents.  We get her thoughts as well as some others throughout the years. Adrian is strong and smart; she knows […]
The Princess and the Rogue is the third book in the Bow Street Bachelors series. The men of the book are war veterans who started a gaming hell after returning from war. Each so far has met their match when the right woman comes into their lives and now it is Seb’s turn to be put […]
