I get this warm happy feeling when I pick up a Hill book
Review of Red Tide at Heron Bay by Gerri Hill Like most WLW readers out there, I’m a big Gerri Hill fan. I will happily read anything she writes and I am rarely if ever, disappointed. While Hill’s name on a book is enough to get me to read it, there is something about her […]

This book was a ton of fun
Review of The Noble and the Nightingale by Barbara Ann Wright This was a ton of fun. While I’m a Wright fan, I went into this book with my expectations lowered a bit. I noticed that some of the reviews were a bit mixed and for some reason, the cover bothered me. I can’t even […]
Great end to the Jericho Series
Review of Covenant by Ann McMan Covenant takes us deep into the hearts and souls of the people we have come to know and love in this Jericho series.
