scary,
The Mosquito Tapes
will keep you reading well into
the night.

The Garden of Evil
- Chris
Holmes’s novel is a modern day cat and mouse, no...cobra and
mongoose investigation, with the stakes more personal and deadly as
the adversaries find themselves continually within striking
distance. The weapon – food – is one of man’s most basic needs.

treasure in the historical romance genre you’ll want to read for

Beats A Wild Heart
- In the
ancient, Celtic land of Cornwall, Emma Hayward searched for a myth
and found truth. The legend of the black cat of Bodmin Moor is a
well known Cornish legend. Jean Adams has merged the essence of
myth and romance into a fascinating story which catches the
imagination. I enjoyed the way the story unfolded at a smooth and
steady pace with Emma and Seth appearing as real people who feel an
instant attraction for one another. At first the story appears to
be straightforward, but as it evolves mystery, love and intrigue
intervene to make a vibrant story with hidden depths. Once you
start reading you won't be able to put this book down.

Down Home Ever Lovin’ Mule
Blues
by Jacquie Rogers - How can true love fail when
everyone and their mule, cat, and skunk know that Brody and Rita
belong together, even if Rita is engaged to another man? This is a
fabulous roll on the floor while laughing out loud story. Rarely do
I locate a story with as much humor, joy, and downright lust spread
so thickly on the pages that I am surprised I could turn the pages.
A treasure not to be missed.

When the Vow Breaks
by
Judith Leigh - This book is about a woman who fights breast cancer.
The storyline dealt with the commitment between a man and a woman,
with a true belief of God. The intrigue was that of finding a rock
to lean upon through faith in God. Not only did she learn to lean
on her relationship with Him, but she also learned how to forgive
her husband. This is a great look at not only a breast cancer
survivor, but also a couple whose commitment to each other through
their faith grew stronger. It is an easy read and one I highly
recommend.

A Heated Romance
by Candace
Gold - A fascinating romantic suspense tells the story of Marcie
O'Dwyer, a female firefighter who has had to struggle to prove
herself. While the first part of the book seems to focus on the
romance and Marcie's daily life, the second part transitions into a
suspense novel as Marcie witnesses something suspicious at one of
the fires. Her life is endangered by what she possibly knows and I
found myself anticipating the outcome almost as much as Marcie.

Rebel Heart
- Jannine Corti
Petska used a myriad of emotions to tell this story and the reader
quickly becomes entranced in the ways Courtney’s stubborn attitude
works to her advantage in surviving this disastrous beginning to
her new life. This is a wonderful rendition of a different type
which is a welcome addition to the historical romance genre. I
believe that you will enjoy this story; I know I did!

Brides of the West
by
Michèle Ann Young, Kimberly Ivey, and Billie Warren Chai - All
three of the stories in this wonderful anthology are based on women
who gambled their future in blindly accepting complete strangers
for husbands. It was a different era when a woman must have a
husband to survive and all three authors wrote exceptional stories
featuring fascinating and gutsy heroines and the men who loved
them. For an engrossing read with splendid original stories I
highly encourage readers to pick up a copy of this
marvelous anthology.

Holiday in the Heart
(Anthology)
- Stories that would put even Scrooge into the
Christmas spirit. It does not matter what
type
of romance
genre you prefer. This book has a little bit of everything. The
stories are set in the U.S.A. and Europe. Some take place in the
past, some in the present, and one story takes place in both! I
strongly suggest you put on something comfortable, brew up
something hot (tea, coffee or cocoa will do), light up a fire,
settle down somewhere quiet and begin reading this anthology.

Legend says that if you wish with all your

Angels may help, ancient spells may be broken. Even vampires will
find their perfect mate with the power of the blue moon.

during your commute to work. It offers historicals, contemporaries,
time travel, paranormal, and futuristic narratives to tempt your

recommend grabbing this book.

Love and Silver Bells
- I
really enjoyed this heartwarming anthology. The characters are
heart-wrenchingly human and hurting and simply looking for a little
bit of peace on earth. Luckily they all eventually find it,
although not without some strife. But we always appreciate the
gifts we receive when we have to work a little harder to keep them.
I recommend these warm holiday tales be read by the light of a
well-lit tree, with a lovely fire in the fireplace and a nice cup
of hot cocoa. All will warm you through and through.

Love on a Harley
is an
amazing romantic anthology. Each story was heartwarming, tear
jerking, and so perfect. Lost love, rekindling love, and learning
to love are all expressed within these pages beautifully. I
couldn’t ask for a better romance anthology; each author brings
that sensual, longing sort of love that every woman dreams of.
