The Paris Dressmaker by Kristy Cambron | Book Review

Mar. 16, 2021

This book is a tribute to the Parisenne’s who refused to give up on their city during the occupation. I typically enjoy this sort of books but for some reason I just couldn’t get into this book. Some of you though will love it. It is well written and I can’t put my finger why…

The battle of Culloden and strife of the Scottish takes the forefront in this book which is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. We get so much more than just a historical romance, we get plenty of action too. Annie (and her two friends, Jenny and Fiona) travel with Prince Charles’ troops…

Murder in the Piazza by Jen Collins Moore

Dec. 30, 2020

I really loved that Maggie was older than most heroines in books. At 55 she is a little closer to my own age which made understanding her a little better. She was downsized from her job so she accompanied her husband to live in Rome for two years. Now, unhappy with playing bridge and cocktail…

Protecting His Kidnapped Family by Leslie North

Dec. 30, 2020

As a huge fan of Leslie North I am always thrilled to get a new book of hers in my hands. I think was by far one of my favorite books of hers. As always the writing is captivating and will draw you right in. Poor Serena is being held for ransom that no one…

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run
into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a
different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where
Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in
love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t
falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
