Review of ‘Ask, tell’ by EJ Noyes
This is a beautiful love story between two US army doctors (one the boss of the other) in times of the Don’t ask don’t tell policy. Written in first person and in present tense, it takes a couple of chapters to get used to but, despite the potential problems of this stylistic choice, the author […]
Review of ‘Becoming you’ by Michelle Grubb
I haven’t read anything by this author before except for her short story Hammersmith in the book ‘Girls with guns’. I have to admit that the only reason I chose this book was that it was set in Ireland, my home for the last eight years. I was hoping that the book would describe its […]
Review of ‘The right kind of wrong’ by PJ Trebelhorn
Sweet romance between two long term best friends whose relationship start to shift after a family health scare. The main characters are well rounded and lovable, easy to empathise with though sometimes a bit frustrating in their stubbornness. The secondary characters are also likeable and complement the plot neatly. My only issue with this book […]
Review of ‘Amounting to nothing’ by Karis Walsh
I’ve enjoyed a couple of books by this author so I’ve decided to give it a go. This book is number 3 of the ‘Tacoma Mounted Police’ series but there’s no need to read them in order. However, there are a few references to characters and events of the previous books that I couldn’t put in […]
Review of ‘Into thin air’ by Jeannie Levig
I have mixed feelings about this book and after reading other reviews, if this was the author’s objective, then she achieved it. My main problem is that there are two parallel stories involving the three lead characters in this book: one a budding sweet romance between Hannah and Nikki, and the other the disturbing story […]
Review of ‘A quiet death’ by Cari Hunter
I didn’t want to read this book. Despite the fact that I’ve previously read a couple of Ms. Hunter’s books and loved them, I tend to avoid gruesome stories and I normally go for romances or light mystery / action books. However, after seeing so many good reviews about this series I decided to take […]
Review of ‘The Butterfly Whisperer’ by Lisa Moreau
This is a sweet romance between Sophie, a butterfly expert who runs a sanctuary dedicated to the Monarch species, and Jordan, her former best friend who mysteriously left their town ten years before just to return with the sole purpose of selling the land where the sanctuary is located. I chose to read this book […]
Review of ‘In the direction of the sun’ by Lucy J. Madison
I read ‘Personal foul’ by this author and gave it a 3 star rating due to some editing problems and I have similar issues with this one. To start with, the plot resembles to the melodrama of a TV soap opera. I don’t mind a bit of angst and tension in a romance but this […]
Review of ‘Scissor link’ by Georgette Kaplan
Entertaining erotic romance story with some light BDSM scenes. The relationship is between Wendy, a 26 year old low-level employee in an aeronautical company, and Janet, her 44 year old recently divorced boss. The dialogues are witty and funny, though sometimes the punch lines seem too polished for a real conversation. However, the main characters […]
