Priscilla

Paper Dolls Priscilla by Kara R. Hunt My rating: 5 of 5 stars We met Priscilla in Hunt’s first book of the series, and she was a difficult character to connect with for several reasons – read book one and you’ll understand.

Chasing Shadows

Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin My rating: 5 of 5 stars With everything going on in Ukraine, reading this account set during WWII in the Netherlands was just eerily similar to what we’re watching on the nightly news.

Avoiding Marriage

Avoiding Marriage: A Practically Married Novella by Karin Beery My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a fun read! I love it when minor characters from one book are brought back and fleshed out into their own stories. It’s even better when a not-so-admired character comes back to redeem themselves. You don’t need toContinue reading “Avoiding Marriage”

Practically Married

Practically Married by Karin Beery My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book! It’s a modern marriage of convenience story that works because the characters are engaging, practical, and have their personal issues to deal with. Loved the setting of Northern Michigan – of course! – but part of the story was setContinue reading “Practically Married”
