This is a good story between two women who have to say goodbye to each. They have to find a new owner before she passes away, so they can continue in the traditions of the hotel that they started and built. It's a sad story, but a story that gives hope to those of us left behind. It's about giving a start to someone who may not have been able to do otherwise. How even through the death of a loved one we can continue to love and give to others.
This story starts up rather slow, but speeds up to a heart-stopping climax. The plot and story-line is great, and the characters are well-defined. There are inconsistencies in the operation of MI6 and how the CIA does or does not cooperate with England's Intelligence Agency. Otherwise, since I love action suspense novels with romance mixed in, I really liked this story, even with it's inconsistencies.
This is a nice love story with plenty of action. The characters need a little more development along with some more world building. We know that these shifters exist, but we have no idea how mating works, or what really makes them shifters, or even their abilities. The same goes for our healer. Is she just a strong psychic who can manipulate molecules or is she actually using magic? It's all questionable and the story leaves a lot in the air.
This story is a allegory of a sinner and how Christ finds us and takes away our sins. Unfortunately, the character's are stiff and feel unreal. The message is clear, but I lost the feel of what I should have felt at her final choice. I think the characters need more work and I was walking through faceless characters of evil intent.
This is an excellent fictional story about real life people. It's the love story between a preacher, Rowland Hill and the women he was in love with Mary Tudway. This story brings to life the reality of being unequally yoked. Rowland loves Mary, but puts off asking for hand in marriage, because one; he wasn't ordained, and two; he questioned having a wife that didn't theologically agree with him. Mary wants the social life of the aristocracy, but her heart is empty living that life. The author brings Mary and Rowland's life a love story of not only a physical and emotional love, but a spiritual love. The relationship between Rowland and Mary may be fictional, but the events that transpired during that time were real. It makes this story fascinating and even made be do a little research into the life of Rowland Hill and Bishop Twysden.
This is a really good book with some very eccentric characters. This has got to be the most colorful town in the west. Everybody is a different race, and almost everyone has some strange insecurities.The villain in this story is strange and they have no idea the secrets that the evil Earnest has or his plans for the town. The reader has no idea either, and the villain is left to terrorize this town for another day, or book 2 of this series. The story has some deep moments, but is very lighthearted in nature.
This is a strange tale about two twins, twins who came home to their mother laying dead at the bottom of the stairs. Chloe is training to be an FBI agent and Danielle is barely surviving as a bartender. This a great psychological thriller with many twists as Chloe navigates a case where Danielle is accused of murdering her boyfriend. I love how the author sticks to how a criminal investigation is navigated and Chloe makes decisions on fact and instinct. There is a lot of emotional and distressing situations, but the author handles the situation well, and the narrator uses the emotion to push the story emotionally for the reader/listener.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worn Sandals is a true example of how to live Grace. There are at least four moments when I had to stop reading to cry, tears ...
