Review:

"Saffron Nights"  By Liz Everly was a interesting contemporary romance and some mystery read that flowed along quickly giving us a good read with a happy ending.  The exotic food, add some hot chemistry and some mystery and you have this read all tied up.  The two characters Maeve and Jackson were very interesting.  I will leave it at that...well I will say that Maeve seemed somewhat selfish and Jackson at times too soft at times.  Now, this is where I will say you must pick up the read to see what you think.  At one  time I was somewhat confused with this mystery of it all and if I had the time I would reread but I will leave that up to you to read and see what you think.  Now, I do think that this was still well written I do think the chemistry and the love scenes were great. Would I recommend this read...YES...I definitely think it is worth checking out.

Review:

"Mr. Loverman" by Bernadine Evaristo was a delightful fiction love read.  I found that the author's narrators were splendid giving you such a touching and well written story that I found hard to put down until the very end.  The cast of characters were very humorous (some) as well memorable, defined and portrayed.  The area of this place in Hackney, London seemed like a place that was describe so very well making you think you were there while you are reading the novel.  Be ready for a read where you will find Mr. Loverman involved in his secrecy of what it really meant for him to be free where we find he lives a double life.  Who would have thought at a man in his seventies, who had been married over fifty years would have this huge secret that would come out the way it did? And just what was that secret? As I was reading thorough this novel I was kept…

Review:

"The Sentence" by Elaine Cantrell was one of the most amazing novels that was simply
a excellent read!  The characters were simply off the chart good!

For six months Clint was prisoner in the  ministers home, instead of 6 months in jail,  due to the fact that he had been accused of setting fire to their church.  Clint was there to help rebuild the church with the help of the other church members.  I did like the way this author was able to deliver to the reader truly the thoughts of the people...many were upset the the judges decision and you could see how they could feel this way however, there were a few people who showed love in the heart to forgive  and I believe that was really what this novel was about...'forgiving'....and that is what happened in "The Sentence."   Now, Clint is there working and  even  turning his…

Review:

"No-Name Baby" by Nancy Bo Flood was a very good read.The novel is of a teenager (Sophie) who was a Italian immigrant from Illinois after World War I. Sophie thought she had caused her mother to go into premature labour, since her mom had lost other babies...that was greatly on her mind. Then there was a aunt(Rae)... that seemed to cause great tension between her(Sophia). Just what was going on would soon be understood. Her aunt Rae tells Sophia of her bea (Alessandro). He had left for the War and he never came back .... he was shot down.... buried in Italy.

The author really brings out the characters with all of the work..doing chores, watching the baby, dealing with that Aunt Rae,seeing if her mom, Nonna, and her dad needed anything and
then there was the boy (Karl) next door. And then the big incident in the Orchard... What had happened betw…
