Twisted Lies by Robin Patchen My rating: 5 of 5 stars Here’s “the rest of the story” on Nate Boyle from book #1, Convenient Lies. (Which is good, because I really, really liked him in that book.)

The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill
The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill by Julie Klassen My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love this type of historical. It’s not romance, although there is some romance in it.
