I like a hero who’s solid and honorable but—not too perfect. Guys who definitely talk and act like guys, not some version of what we women sometimes wish they were. I’m not sure how successfully I accomplish that, but … 🙂 After five long years of war, Jedidiah (“Jed”) Wheeler is not just older butContinue reading “The Hero of The Counterfeit Tory”

Silas Marner
Silas Marner by George Eliot My rating: 3 of 5 stars A few weeks ago, I saw a copy of “Silas Marner” on the shelf in a used bookstore for $2.00. I hadn’t read it since high school when I wasn’t particularly thrilled with it. But … I wanted to read it again. And IContinue reading “Silas Marner”
The Scent of Lilacs
The Scent of Lilacs by Ann H. Gabhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this story! It was different than the type of story I normally gravitate to. It is historical, but not as far back in history as I typically read. It’s the story of people who face real-life issues, real-life hurtsContinue reading “The Scent of Lilacs”
The Culper Ring
The Culper Ring: The History and Legacy of the Revolutionary War’s Most Famous Spy Ring by Charles River Editors My rating: 4 of 5 stars We’ve started watching the TV series “Turn” and I wanted to bone up on the history. It was a good book for that. It gives an overview of the CulperContinue reading “The Culper Ring”
He Is Risen!
The Golden Vial
The Golden Vial by Thomas Locke My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is the third in a series. The first two are Emissary and Merchant of Alyss, both of which I enjoyed very much. The Golden Vial doesn’t quite reach their level. If you’ve read the first two, it’s worth reading this one toContinue reading “The Golden Vial”
A Refuge Assured
A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green My rating: 5 of 5 stars That moment when you’ve finished a wonderful book and you don’t want to let it go … so you read the author’s notes … and you find YOUR NAME in them. What!? Wow. I’d forgotten that Jocelyn Green had asked a horse questionContinue reading “A Refuge Assured”
Ain’t Misbehavin’
Ain’t Misbehavin’ by Jennifer Lamont Leo My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a great way to experience the Roarin’ Twenties! Leo does a bang-up job of setting the reader into the thick of gangster-ridden Chicago at a very volatile time in U.S. history. It’s a roller coaster of ups and downs that will keepContinue reading “Ain’t Misbehavin’”
A Most Noble Heir
A Most Noble Heir by Susan Anne Mason My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another wonderful story from Susan Anne Mason. This one is set in England and involves a young man who was raised as a servant – but becomes one of the aristocracy. It paints a good picture of the differences between thoseContinue reading “A Most Noble Heir”
Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans
Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans: The Battle That Shaped America’s Destiny by Brian Kilmeade My rating: 4 of 5 stars The story of Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans will always be remembered by Johnny Horton’s song. If you’ve never heard it, check it out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL7XS… Brian KilmeadeContinue reading “Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans”
