Thin Ice

Thin Ice by Irene Hannon My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was different than most of my reads. The underlying romance is wonderful. Just the type of hero who grabs your imagination.

Fear is Louder Than Words

Fear Is Louder Than Words by Linda S. Glaz My rating: 5 of 5 stars This story had more twists, back trails, and turns than a politician’s promises.
