Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston While I read “Bite Me” first, reading the books out of order did not detract from their stories. These are fun reads with larger than life characters. They have all of the human problems well all face with the addition of animal/shifter issues and pack politics. I like that Ms. Laurenston doesn’t just tack on the fact that these … Continue reading Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston
I enjoy audio books when I’m too busy to sit down and actually read a book. This 2013 Brilliance Audio is one of my favorites. Macleod Andrews and Cassandra Campbell give an excellent performance. Robards weaves an exciting story set in the sultry heat of New Orleans where the rules, the music, the food and the way of life are all a blend of right … Continue reading Hunted by Karen Robards (audio)

Arabella Caufield who feels it is … Continue reading The Prince Catcher Series by Katharine Ashe

It is a story of strength, hope … Continue reading Kaleidoscope by: Hannah Meredith
My first experience with the writing of Louise Penny, Beautiful Mystery is akin to a religious experience. The beauty of the Gregorian chants echo through the haunting wilderness setting of Quebec’s wild forest monastery, Saint Gilbert Entres les Loups. Ms. Penny’s words are almost lyrical, as she describes the monastic life of the monks, giving a cadence and rhythm to the investigation as Jean-Guy Beauvoir … Continue reading Beautiful Mystery by: Louise Penny

I started with the lovely and lyrical novel, The Beautiful Mystery set in a monastery outside Quebec. With the murder of a monk and the beautiful mystery of … Continue reading Louise Penny
This Dare Island series is going to be awesome if this first novel is any indication. For a fictional island it feels like coming home.
