I’ve enjoyed Lynda Filler’s “Jet” series and was eager to read her book, “Target in the Sun”. Winning an autographed copy in a contest I never expected such a compelling story. The book is written in a very unique style; told from the perspective of three characters through using e-mails and journals as well as narrative. It’s much more than a romance; it’s the story … Continue reading “Target in the Sun” by Lynda Filler
I’m excited to announce my latest writing adventure, the erotic romance “Carved Wooden Heart”, is available for pre-order on Amazon. This is my first collaboration with new writer Starla Hartless and it’s been a pleasure. Although we describe the book as erotic fiction it is much more than that. It’s the sometimes romantic and sometimes tragic story of a young woman as she travels … Continue reading “Carved Wooden Heart” Pre-Order NOW!
“Boston” has never been so hot. Alexis Alvarez brings her spicy and romantic style of writing to the staid old city setting it a flame with Parker Minelli and Abby Michaels. These two characters are electric and I was immediately drawn into the book wanting to know what roads they would travel. From their first official meeting it’s evident Parker is a bundle of male … Continue reading “Boston” by Alexis Alvarez
Anita Kovacevic has taken the romance genre and turned it on its ear with her creative book “Average Daydreamer”.

The fact that her best friend, Petra, is getting ready for her wedding increases Priscilla’s search … Continue reading “Average Daydreamer” by Anita Kovacevic
In Beth Hale’s book Trusting Jack the author has created characters so realistic they practically walk out of the pages. From the first chapter where Emma Payne is betrayed by her cheating husband Ryan I liked her character. Although she was devastated by his infidelity and subsequent abandonment, she takes steps to pull herself together and move forward with her life. Supported by her gay … Continue reading Trusting Jack (Unexpected Emotion Book 1) Beth Hale
Let me begin by saying this is the second book I’ve read by author Beth Hale and she is fast becoming my favorite romance writer. In her book “Taming James” she once again creates characters that are so vibrant they seem to step off the pages. “Taming James” follows Liv (Olivia) Hughes as she pursues her career in London, England. Having left her home in … Continue reading “Taming James (Unexpected Emotion Book 2)” by Beth Hale
In his book “A Stranger Came Among Them” Donald Montano has created an historical Western that contains both action and romance. Set in 1866 in the Colorado Territory, this is the first book in this exciting trilogy. Montano effectively builds suspense as he weaves the tale of good guys versus bad guys with enough lust hold the interest of any reader. From the … Continue reading “A Stranger Came Among Them” by Donald Montano
Addressing the issue of domestic abuse is a challenge in fiction. Beth Hale handles the subject honestly in her romantic thriller “Magnolia Secrets”. From the first chapter in this compelling book I was firmly hooked. The story revolves around Lainey Holley, her husband Chief of Police Evan Holley, and newly hired Officer Walker Bell. Beginning with a hot sexual encounter between Lainey … Continue reading “Magnolia Secrets” by Beth Hale
I read this book on the recommendation of a friend. When I first started I’ve Loved These Days by Bethany Turner I was a little skeptical. The book begins with a letter to Jacqueline Onassis. That was enough to grab my attention. The following pages are notes from Dr. Alec Redmond. Dr. Redmond is the psychiatrist who is treating Abigail Phelps, the strange protagonist of … Continue reading I’ve Loved These Days: Abigail Phelps, Book One by Bethany Turner
From the first chapter in Moon Over Alcatraz by Patricia Yager Delagrange it’s obvious this romance will take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. What isn’t evident is the complexity of the story yet to come . With the still birth of their first baby Brandy and Weston Chambers lives are forever changed. Following Brandy’s heart wrenching loss as she tries … Continue reading “Moon Over Alcatraz” by Patricia Yager Delagrange
I write southern historical fiction, local history, and I've written a devotional book. The two novels I'm writing are set in Virginia and the Carolinas in the 1760s. My weekly blog started out to follow my journey as a writer and a reader, but in 2025 it has been greatly expanded to include current events and politics in the United States as I see our democracy under attack from within. The political science major in me cannot sit idly by and remain silent.
