The Bucket List Dare by Angela Breidenbach My rating: 4 of 5 stars A collection of stories involving four friends from college who agree to check something off their bucket lists before they turn thirty. What a fun concept! It’s hard to review collections, so I’ll do what I usually do and pick one ofContinue reading “The Bucket List Dare”

Where Two Hearts Meet
Where Two Hearts Meet by Liz Johnson My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the second in the “Prince Edward Island Dreams” series. The first is “The Red Door Inn.” It’s not essential to read them in order, both serve well as stand-along books, but it never hurts to know more of the backstoryContinue reading “Where Two Hearts Meet”
Waves of Mercy
Waves of Mercy by Lynn Austin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Could not put it down. This story – although it’s actually two stories told alongside each other – gripped me from page one and had me wishing it didn’t end at page 376. I think Lynn Austin left the door open for aContinue reading “Waves of Mercy”
Tangled Webs
Tangled Webs by Irene Hannon My rating: 4 of 5 stars The last in the “Men of Honor” trilogy, “Tangled Webs” is a nice wrap-up of the McGregors brothers series. Plenty of drama, tension, and personal struggles to keep the reader turning each page. A little bit predictable, but worth reading for the insight intoContinue reading “Tangled Webs”
Mattie’s Pledge
Mattie’s Pledge by Jan Drexler My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’ll admit I’m growing a bit weary of Amish books in general, but Jan Drexler has gone back in time and gives us an account of the Amish in the mid-1800s. “Mattie’s Pledge” continues the story started in “Hannah’s Choice.” There are a lotContinue reading “Mattie’s Pledge”
A Lady Unrivaled
A Lady Unrivaled by Roseanna M. White My rating: 4 of 5 stars Great finish to the series! I enjoyed seeing all the previous characters come back for a final appearance. “Ladies of the Manor” is definitely a series to read in the proper order. “The Lost Heiress” is first, then “The Reluctant Duchess.” In “AContinue reading “A Lady Unrivaled”
This Road We Traveled
This Road We Traveled by Jane Kirkpatrick My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another wonderful story based on real pioneers who suffered to build the United States of America. Jane Kirkpatrick brings these characters to life in her own insightful way. The reader journeys with the characters, surviving things we present-day hot-house lilies would not.Continue reading “This Road We Traveled”
The Lazarus File
The Lazarus File by Donn E. Taylor My rating: 4 of 5 stars Political intrigue isn’t generally my favorite read, but this one caught my eye. It’s set back in the 1970s, so that’s a bit of a twist. No cell phones. No computers. (Anyone else remember this as the good old days?) Back whenContinue reading “The Lazarus File”
The Bonfires of Beltane
The Bonfires of Beltane by Mark E. Fisher My rating: 4 of 5 stars This story is set WAY BACK in time, before the Middle Ages, in ancient Ireland. The hero, Taran mac Teague, rebels against the Druids and their demonic gods. He’s banished from his clan’s island and set adrift to die at sea.Continue reading “The Bonfires of Beltane”
Magnolia Moonlight
Magnolia Moonlight by Mary Ellis My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the third book in the “Secrets of the South Mysteries” series. I’ve enjoyed each one, even though mysteries are not my go-to genre to read. Private investigator Nate Price and Isabelle finally get their chance at a honeymoon, but it doesn’t turnContinue reading “Magnolia Moonlight”
