Lord of Her Heart

Lord of Her Heart by Sherrinda Ketchersid My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love a good medieval read! What’s more romantic than knights, fair ladies, and castles? Sherrinda Ketchersid nails all of that, plus a bit of mystery, a dash of danger, and a hearty sprinkling of humor. This is not a dark, gothicContinue reading “Lord of Her Heart”

The Noble Guardian

The Noble Guardian by Michelle Griep My rating: 3 of 5 stars Full disclosure: I haven’t read the first two books in this series.

The Midwife’s Tale by Delia Parr My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this tale by Delia Parr, an author I haven’t read before.
