Good Story - Interesting Romance

Marriage or Ruin for the Heiress by Lauri Robinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another sweet story from Lauri Robinson. Joliet and Randal are made for each other but only if the get past several problems. It was fun watching them work hard to keep from falling in love only to have it win in the end.

Everything is Set Up

Insurrection by Nina Croft
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Rico and he is a side character in Insurrection, side but important. As this came to a conclusion everything is set up for Dark Desires to start that series. Of course it came first so of course everything is ready to go. Malpheas is staying to get his powers back and he needs a lot of help. Of course there is someone he must protect and one by one the rings that bind him fall off. Great story with plot twists that keep the story line moving. Loved visiting this group of characters and finding out how they knew discovered the immorality treatment. As big surprise there.

Clean Romance

Sleigh Bells Ring by RaeAnne Thayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Feell good story with two HEA's. The trip to the ranch was to be a final good by to their Grandfather and to the family ranch. Things did not go as planned. Between Christmas, two cute 6 year old twins and the heat between the characters you just know the ranch will stay in the family and four of the characters will be more than just fine with that.

Feel Good Story

Dinner on Primrose Hill by Jodi Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A typical Jodi Thomas story. This time there are three couples we follow through out the book. At first they have nothing in common but as time goes by their lives intertwine. Each faces a challenge as well as the danger that brings everyone together. I was sorry that it was over. I would have enjoyed seeing more of the three couples.

A Lot of Tension

Forgotten in Death by J.D. Robb
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Time it is mostly Eve who solves on one but two deaths. Each has its own unique flavor and requires time in both the past and the present. I really nice addition to the series. Plenty of tension as the plot develops and added information is added. Can stand alone but great if you started at book one.

Love Silver Creek

Strength Under Fire by Lindsay McKenna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dana and Colin are interesting characters who come from different backgrounds but share a reaction to events in their lives. I loved how there was a cross over from the Wind River books. There is all the danger, tension, and romance you in the plot. One thing for sure - if there was really a Silver Creek I would be packing and moving. A town almost too good to be true and full of great secondary characters.

Familiar Trope

The Christmas Wedding Guest by Susan Mallery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love Wishing Tree and would love to move there. I received the Xmas ornament from Susan as well as a card with a map of the town. That added to my pleasure in the story. Reggie and Dena were really interesting sisters. Each not looking for love but finding it anyway. The tropes were familiar but made the tension in the story more real. I did thing the ending was. a little abrupt but both sisters got their HEA's.

Worth Reading Again and Again

On the Brink of Everything: Grace, Gravity, and Getting Old by Parker J. Palmer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aa series of essays and new thoughts for helping cope with the later years of life. Best used in small doses. This was another zoom course. We did one chapter a week for eight weeks. After the course was finished I started over at the beginning and read a few pages a day. This one is well worth doing more than once.
