If I’m reading it, I’ll write about it here — scifi, fantasy, romance, mystery, non-fiction, or whatever my book club makes me read.
A Lady and Her Magic
This story caught my attention twice: First, by its description, which promised a blend of fantasy and regency romance (two of my favorites) and second, by the very first line: “If the Duke of Robinsworth had known it would be so difficult to raise a daughter alone, he never would have killed his wife.” Intriguing! […]
One Perfect Rose
Intense. But in a good way. This was an amazingly romantic story, honest and heartbreaking, and it kept me riveted from page one. Stephen, the Duke of Ashburton, has three months to live, six on the outside. After receiving the news, he fills two saddle bags with supplies and takes off alone to come to […]

The Goddess Legacy
Quite simply, this was the most entertaining back story I’ve ever read. 🙂 Disclaimer: I read this series out of order. I normally try not to do this, but circumstances conspired against me, and when I had a chance to read The Goddess Legacy before its release date, I jumped at it. The Goddess Legacy […]

The Goddess Test
I snatched this book up the instant I finished The Goddess Legacy, a sequel to this book which actually goes into the back story. The setup for this book fascinated me — poor Hades (Henry), who had suffered from millenia of unrequited love with Persephone, is alone and wanting to simply fade away. But before […]
