I was excited to try a police procedural starting a new series. I have not read this author previously. Misty Pines Mystery series starts with Sheriff Jax Turner at rock bottom. He lost his daughter to cancer and shut himself away from the world to try to stop the pain. Now a teen is missing […]
Clever Girls is the third book of the Driven Women series that combines romance with fast driving and stock car racing. Mia St James is a woman in a field dominated by men; she is great in her field but after her last boyfriend stole credit for her work and spread rumors about her, she […]
I have read all 3 books in the Parker City Mystery series now. The main characters are the detectives Ben and Tommy. So far, all of the books have two timelines, going back and forth from the current date and the past. The chapters are clearly labeled as to which period they are. I still […]
I really love Penny Reid’s characters and their unique, personal characteristics. The Three Kings world, based on stories about three talented guys who grew up in Texas and people they know, is fascinating. Each person has so much more to them than the face they present to the world. Character driven stories are great stories. […]
I have loved every Winston Brothers series book and now we have a new spinoff series, the Modern Folktales. The characters featured are friends and sort of relations to the Winstons. It began with Jackson James, the son of the sheriff and a sheriff’s deputy himself. Now we learn about the best friend of Beau, […]
I was surprised to learn there would be an audio version of the new addition to the Rebels & Redcoats Saga. Man of War is a prequel to the series. I truly wish I had read the blurb before reading, so I would know the setting was about 20 years before The Tory which happens […]
Wow. I really enjoyed Fool Her Once. All along, I thought I had ideas and knew what would happen and kind of kept waiting for it and then no, it was something else. These characters were all flawed and sometimes not very likeable. If you don’t like cheating, you won’t like it here. Jenna is […]
When I hear of Buddhism or Buddhists, meditation retreats, monks, Zen, or even see large statues of Buddha or Buddhist temples, I have a vague idea about the tenants and beliefs behind it. Karma, reincarnation, yoga, and mindfulness are part of our general society, but what is it all about? I was not interested in […]
The Boston Classics series are people stories, with the 80s just a fun aspect, much like the Shakespeare quotes or dogs in one of the books. Things started with Ben and couples have formed from those people connected to him. In Child of Mine, we learn more about Bella who is good friends with Jess, […]
The description of Twentymile intrigued me and I knew I wanted to read it. When I started reading, I was quickly absorbed into the world, the characters and story. I liked the setting of North Carolina. The main character, Tsula, is a federal agent, but grew up in the area, part of the Eastern Band […]
