The Librarian’s Journey: 4 Historical Romances by Patty Smith Hall My rating: 4 of 5 stars A historical romance collection themed around the packhorse librarians of the Great Depression.

Avenue of Betrayal
Avenue of Betrayal by Sandra Merville Hart My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sandy Merville Hart’s Avenue of Betrayal is a look into Washington City—now known as Washington D.C.—during the early days of the American Civil War. It was a city divided, with people who were staunchly pro-Union living side-by-side with those who were fiercelyContinue reading “Avenue of Betrayal”
Angelina’s Resolve
Angelina’s Resolve by Cindy Ervin Huff My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this “what if” story. Author Huff explains that the idea came about from “what if” Horace Greeley’s “Go west, young man!” had been answered by a group of women. And while it could have been a typical “I’m as good asContinue reading “Angelina’s Resolve”
Lumberjacks & Ladies
Lumberjacks & Ladies: 4 Historical Stories of Romance Among the Pines by Jennifer Lamont Leo My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a really fun collection to be a part of. First, I got to write with some of my favorite authors! Second, I got to set my novella in the collection right inContinue reading “Lumberjacks & Ladies”
A Heart Adrift
A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another lovely Colonial America story set at the beginning of the French and Indian War. There is nothing of the war itself in the book, but that geopolitical event is a large part of the tension for the characters. A second chance atContinue reading “A Heart Adrift”
Lost in Darkness
Lost in Darkness by Michelle Griep My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’ve read quite a few of Michelle Griep’s books, and I have to say, this is my 2nd favorite. It’s very different, and I think that’s part of why I liked it so much. It’s not the same-old/same-old that historical romance can sometimesContinue reading “Lost in Darkness”
At Love’s Command
At Love’s Command by Karen Witemeyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars I bought this book to read after seeing the social media flap about it. I couldn’t imagine half of the vitriol I was reading was true. It wasn’t. Other than the book starts with the massacre at Wounded Knee, nothing about the storyContinue reading “At Love’s Command”
Hell-Bent on Blessings
Hell-Bent on Blessings by Heather Blanton My rating: 4 of 5 stars I grew up watching westerns on TV like The Wild, Wild West and Bonanza and Gunsmoke. If you did too, you’re going to enjoy Heather Blanton’s books. And if you didn’t – you young whippersnappers – you need to read a few andContinue reading “Hell-Bent on Blessings”
Behind Love’s Wall
Behind Love’s Wall by Carrie Fancett Pagels My rating: 5 of 5 stars Behind Love’s Wall takes the reader on a double journey of intrigue and romance on Michigan’s Mackinac Island. Author Carrie Fancett Pagels does a well-balanced job in this dual-timeline story. From 1895 to 2020, the setting of the famous Grand Hotel immersesContinue reading “Behind Love’s Wall”
Undaunted Hope
Undaunted Hope by Jody HedlundMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Loved this story! Full disclosure, I’ve been to this lighthouse and love the setting, so it would have had to be a real goose egg for me not to like it, but I more than liked it. The characters are diverse and interesting, the plotContinue reading “Undaunted Hope”
