I have to admit, I was thinking of giving up on Deborah Smith. Though I loved A Place to Call Home, I haven’t been wowed by a book of hers since, and I was losing my enthusiasm for her writing. But I had this old Loveswept, Hold on Tight, in my TBR, and I thought,…
Don’t let the “Contemporary Women’s Fiction” label fool you; In the Midnight Rain is about as romantic as it gets. This is my first Ruth Wind, and oh my, how this lady can tell a tale. For those of you, like myself, who have memories of what it was like to send boys we cared…
On December 31, 1999, I watched the New Year celebration that took place on the Mall in Washington, DC.

And while it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped after hearing raves about author Angela Benson, it was a nice evening’s read. Our match-makers are two widowed fathers. Mathias Sanders owns a small Alabama daily with…
I enjoyed Beverly Barton’s Protectors series and thought I’d try one of her stand-alone books, so I read A Child of Her Own. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I was fully prepared to give it a 4 rating until just before the ending when one scene jarred me out of the mood and caused the…
