Remember Me (Where There's Love #1) by Bree Wolf

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is one story that distorts time, but not for any reason you may think. The story is suspenseful and gets weird at various points doing the story, but becomes clear as we come to the climax and ending. This is a short story, but is very much worth the suspense.

A Lady's Dream: A Historical Regency Romance Novel Collection (Alice in Regency Wonderland) by Alice Acker

Rating: ⭐

I dislike the series and these two deserve each other. Edward is an immature and selfish boy. While Katherine is a naive and foolish little girl. The relationship between these two should never been promoted by their friends and the English side of her family. The only real relationship is been their friends Martha and Lawrence. These two have level heads and act with common sense over their emotions. This book is not worth the drama it puts the reader through.

Cruel Promises by Tori Fox

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story hits a lot of trigger points for some people, especially those with self esteem issues and the loss of a child. This story has some serious issues, especially for a rock star just to give up his drugs without withdrawal symptoms. I also don't like how the church was portrayed, but I was glad that her parents found a way to forgive her. This story will make you laugh, be happy and cry. Love doesn't always come in the form we expect, but we have to choose to accept when love is offered from the unexpected.

A Spinster's Sinful Temptation: A Historical Regency Romance Novel by Emily Honeyfield

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This has to be the lamest prank played upon the ton. Nobody fell for it and most just ignored her or played along. This Earl is a wimp bowing down to his mother until he realizes that he is the Earl and his mother is under his authority. This is when the true action begins and his mistress starts her antics. Ellie is too naive for someone that's been taking care of her sisters since she was fourteen. The characters are colorful and some of the characters are overdone. The story was well written even if the plot failed.

Secret Burdens of the Heart: A Historical Western Romance Novel by Aurora Hanson

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story starts out great and finishes well. The climax of the story felt so wrong for a man that is supposed to have changed. What Henry did is how an angry child and criminal mind would think. This just proves that Virgil was right about him. The gradual love story between Virgil and Isabel is well written. Did Virgil mishandle the situation? Yes, but at least he was man enough to admit his mistake. Henry wasn't, and shouldn't have been given his second chance, but love trumps whats earned and deserved.

 

The Daughters of Courage: Boxed Set (Daughters of Courage #1-3) by Donna Fletcher Crow

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a box set about three women who lived through days of struggle, loss and turmoil. The women live in the love of our Lord and Savior and find love in the family that they build and rely on. Kathryn built her strength and character on the building of a homestead in Idaho. Elisabeth built her strength and character through the depression and World War II. Stephanie found her strength of character through the Idaho political system, the free press and a man whose character would not crack. Their stories are poignant, sometimes sad, but most of all inspiring. May all women find their inner strength and grow to be women of courage.

The Perfect Lawyer (Ike Thompson Legal Thriller Series #1) by Gregg Bell

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ike Thompson is in a valley of self-deprecation only taking easy lawyer jobs and allowing his wife to take advantage of him. Everything changes when he hires Abby Blum as a new lawyer in his firm. A priest guilt him into taking on an impossible case and runs interference on a mobster harassing his lawyer. The writing is great and with the lack of real evidence, the lawyers' closing arguments are what is going to win this case. This change in Ike's life seems to be the catalyst for all kinds of changes in his life and his thinking. Ike may be dubbed "The Perfect Lawyer", but he is far from perfect and slightly off his game. It's a good legal thriller and worth the read.
