I enjoy all this author’s series, which combine space opera adventures with romance. In the Starlight’s Shadow series, there is a new couple in each book. The style is urban fantasy with an overall story arc through the books. Eclipse the Moon sets up the next book at the end, just as the previous book […]
The Terrible Personal Shopper is the first book in a new series Surprised by Love that seems like it will be all about three sisters. While I totally like the concept and I’m a bit more excited about the overly geeky LOTR fan sister we have to get through the eldest, too clumsy to be […]
The Bodyguard is only the third book I have read by Katherine Center but I have been trying to get to more of her backlist. I had so much fun with Hannah and Jack. Hannah is a consumate and talented professional. Personally, she’s a mess. It’s not the same old story of a career woman […]
I have to tell you I was worried for Hannah from the start. She’s pregnant and all the stress isn’t good for her, plus she is digging into the past and bringing up things other people want to be finished. It’s not she’s TSTL but she pushes it.  She lets her emotions take her dangerous […]
Leave it to T. Kingfisher to take an Edgar Allen Poe tale and turn it on it’s ear to something very different and somewhat twisted. What Moves the Dead is a strange retelling of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. You do not need to have read The Fall of the […]
From the very first book, there has been something fascinating and different about this Bennet Wardrobe series that brings together time travel, fantasy, and Jane Austen’s best known characters. As the series moved into the final moments, my anticipation grew more acute and I was thrilled to arrive at The Grail and take this final […]
I chose the Kings Lake Investigation series because I love British mysteries and I own the first 3 books and the 4th one was just released in May.  It was a great choice. I really enjoyed listening to these with a favorite narrator. The overall story arc is the reshaping of the law enforcement […]
I’m trying out a few new genres this year to see if any really interest me. I’ve done some motivational reads, tried Billionaire Romance, Women’s Paranormal Romance and now Christian Romance. Much like any other genre it has been hit and miss. I’ve enjoyed the motivational or leadership stuff I’ve read, given a hard pass […]
The Eve Ronin series is one I would read in order as the personal and career developments build through the series. The focus is on the police procedural with a small background of personal life but the Hollywood scene is almost a character itself.  Eve is a new homicide detective in a misogynistic, political […]
I am really enjoying the Detective Alyssa Wyatt series. I’ve come to know the characters and members of her team and also some of their family members.  Alyssa is a head of a major crime team. She cares about family and her team is part of her “family.”  They are a bunch of good people […]
