I am one of those people who claims to not judge a book by its cover. That is mostly true. However, when I saw the cover of The Innkeeper's Daughter and read the book description, I knew that I would be reading this book at some point in time. The time period that Michelle Griep's novel is written (Early 1800s England) is a period I enjoy reading. The cover art drew me in right away. I was sold. Joanna Langley, her mother Eliza, and young brother Thomas own and live in the Blue Hedge Inn in ...
A new design and a new service!
It's been quite a while since I've last posted, but I have been working on some major (as you can see) upgrading of my website. There are still a few tweaks to be made, so please bear with me. I plan to have everything tested and worked out soon. During the last few weeks, I've been doing some research and continuing education projects, found out I would have to have dental surgery (more on that in another post!), and I've been scrambling to get things ready for the official first day of the ...

Fatal Recall by Carol J. Post | Review
The more that I read suspense novels, the more I develop a keen interest in reading more. Carol J. Post is a wonderful writer who pours all of her effort into writing books with incredible settings and drama and believable characters. Fatal Recall is her most recent novel, and it didn't disappoint me. Tanner Brody, a police officer, was in transition from his job at one police precinct to another. He decided to use that dead time to have some fun. His kayaking adventure turned into an adventure ...
The Firefighter’s Twins | Review & GIVEAWAY
It isn't very often that I start out a review with a desire to simply—right away—share how much I enjoyed a book. Today is one of those days. I enjoyed The Firefighter's Twins by Heidi McCahan! I don't dole out five star reviews like candy; there are a few things that I'm looking for when determining how I rate a book (naturally, my opinion is mine alone and is subjective!). Author Heidi McCahan hit one of those "things" that I look for right away, and I didn't even realize it at first. The ...
The Backcountry Brides Collection | review
Love on Colonial America’s Frontier Travel into Colonial America where eight women seek love, but they each know a future husband requires the necessary skills to survive in the backcountry. Living in areas exposed to nature’s ferocity, prone to Indian attack, and cut off from regular supplies, can hearts overcome the dangers to find lasting love? Earlier this year I read a novella collection by Barbour Books called Small-Town Brides, and it was a great series of novellas. Now I've had the ...
