Aaron Fletcher's "Outback" Not a classic romance novel but covering the very rugged and different generations overseeing a homestead. Though I missed a romantic feel, it is a good novel and the author depicts the characters as I could easily imagine them to have been during the time period this took place. I appreciate this … Continue reading Book 25: “Outback”
Funeral Funk – The Aftermath
My very kind, funny and lovely Aunt Jennie is at rest...wait...somehow that doesn't seem to fit her. She was a vivacious, outgoing woman who always had cookies ready in case anyone wanted to come visit. I think she's likely cooking up a storm wherever she is and inviting everyone in. The funeral was nice, as … Continue reading Funeral Funk – The Aftermath
Book 24: “Magic”
Kimberly Cates’: “Magic” Where Jude Deveraux failed, Kimberly Cates knocks it out of the park! Of course, I am a sucker for Irish/Celtic legends so perhaps a bit biased but this story was much more epic and fabulous. Though not believable Cates made me want to believe it could have been true. A bit excessive … Continue reading Book 24: “Magic”
Book 23: “Frontier Temptress”
Patricia Pellicane’s “Frontier Temptress” This book was ok, the storyline was good until she lost her hate, I don't buy that. Also, don't buy that the Native Indians were so kind to her just because she had some spine and good looks. The basic story was fun and adventurous. I had a hard time picturing … Continue reading Book 23: “Frontier Temptress”
Funeral Funk
I'm sad to report I have a funeral to attend to tomorrow. My Great Aunt Jennie passed away last week. She was the last elder of my mother's family and for that reason mostly is where my grief and sadness lies since I really did not know her other than very fond memories of a … Continue reading Funeral Funk
Book 22: “A Knight in Shining Armor”
Jude Deveraux’s: “A Knight in Shining Armor” Not my favorite by any means. I usually like medieval stories but this one was a bit far fetched even for my imagination. This is unfortunately one of the instances where I wish I hadn't read other people's reviews before starting the book. The repetition using the character's … Continue reading Book 22: “A Knight in Shining Armor”
What do you mean less than 4 months to do everything!?!
Well we received our orders for the move to Japan in February! Yay! Now we start the process of getting everything in order. My passport expired some time ago but I'm finding out the Navy will issue me a free passport for the move and possibly a Visa if I need one. The biggest … Continue reading What do you mean less than 4 months to do everything!?!
Book 21: “Sweet Enemy Mine”
Ana Leigh’s: “Sweet Enemy Mine” The neighboring clan feud in Scotland, half-hearted kidnappings that end up being love affairs. What's not to love? 🙂 Truly enjoyed this one and it's nice to read about romance with a couple a little longer in the tooth even if they are kind of a sideline story. One of … Continue reading Book 21: “Sweet Enemy Mine”
Book 20: “Mirror Image”
Sandra Brown's: "Mirror Image" A pretty far fetched idea yet the author reasoned out every contingency and made it entirely possible for a woman to find herself in this dire situation. Intrigue and the who's gonna do it of it all was fun and kept me guessing a bit. Good stuff. The next book is: … Continue reading Book 20: “Mirror Image”
Book 19: “Rogue’s Mistress”
Eugenia Riley’s: “Rogue’s Mistress” Brilliant good story telling fun! I remembered reading this before and enjoyed it just as much. Though I do get frustrated with books like this where I end up silently screaming at the characters to just tell each other they love them and move on. But then we would miss all … Continue reading Book 19: “Rogue’s Mistress”
