Teenagers fight in our wars. It’s easy to forget that since we call anyone over eighteen an adult but the fact is that we do send eighteen- and nineteen-year-old kids – teenagers- to fight in battles. Elizabeth Wein is doing a wonderful job of bringing the WWII young adult/teen battle front to life via her…
I did not realize when I chose this book to review that it was number 19 in a series. If I had bothered to find that out ahead of time, I probably would have passed this book by. I am glad I did not because I would have missed out on an enjoyable read. Sands…
Admittedly, I am a Nora Roberts fan. Several of her books, specifically those set in Ireland, rank among my favorites. So, when I saw she has a new trilogy starting that is set in Ireland, and it’s about witches (another favorite subject of mine), I was very excited. While Dark Witch is an entertaining enough…
In Goode’s End of the Innocence, one of the minor characters is Foster, Texas, sporting goods store owner Tyler Parker, who at nearly thirty was once a football star but whose pro career was cut short when his knee was severely injured. Matt Wallace, the youngest of Foster’s Wallace brothers football triad, crushed on Tyler…
Narrated by Kaleo Griffith Megan Hunter will be familiar to readers of Unlawful Contact as the sister of the hero of that book, Marc Hunter. I do think it is possible to enjoy Skin Deep without having read/listened to Unlawful Contact but, the experience is enhanced by Unlawful Contact (and besides it’s excellent). Skin Deep picks…
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor I thought Saving Grace was a truly delightful story and a thoroughly engaging character-driven romance. I admit that, yes, it did have rather an anachronistic feel to it and that both Lady Johanna and her Laird were a little too modern in their sensibilities, but I was so drawn into the story…
Narrated by Heather Smith Sophie Smith is a landscape architect who designs golf courses. She travels to Maverick, Montana in an attempt to persuade the Town Council and local Native American tribal council to acquiesce to the development. I Googled and it appears the Kooskia tribe is made up. This tribe is very wealthy and…
Narrated by Susan Duerden I found this rather a difficult book to rate, because it’s quite unlike most of the other historical romances I’ve read or listened to. At times, I almost forgot I was listening to a romance because there were so many uncomfortable moments that made it almost too realistic to be termed…
Narrated by Lauren Fortgang I knew Spider’s Bite was urban fantasy going in. So I wasn’t expecting a lot of romance, this being the first book in a long running series, Elemental Assassin. I have enjoyed other urban fantasy series where the romance takes a while to get going (Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels, Patricia Briggs’…
If there’s such a thing as the perfect beach read, it’s Summer is for Lovers. Not too serious, but engaging, fun, and sexy, it’s a lighthearted (if slightly imperfect) way to spend a few hours. Caroline Tolbertson is a very good swimmer, which in the 1840s is not at all the thing. As a young…
