Once and Again
A Return to Briarwood Novel
by Elisabeth Barrett
This book reminded me of the books by Mariah Stewart and
Debbie Macomber. The way the author treated the lead charters and intertwined
the remainder of the town into their lives was nothing short of brilliant. Carolyn and Jake’s story will be remembered as
I travel through other books like this one. This is a home run for me. Continue to write ms Barrett. learningaboutblogs-farley.blogspot.com
Paradise City
CJ Duggan
I am not sure if I liked this book or not. When I read the
description I thought I would like it and it would be a funny kind of story.
The story did move along fairly well but could have been a little more detail
oriented.
Nightwalker by Jacquelyn Frank
I liked this book as a continuation in the series. While it
could stand alone, it is better if you have read the others before it. The
story dragged at the beginning but got better as the book progressed.
The Closer You
Come
by Gena Showalter
This book goes on my “So glad I read it list.” Brook Lynn
and Jase are such a wonderful matched pair.
She completes him and he helps her to see her own potential. Her sister
Jessie although a screw-up loves her and is only trying to hide her pain by doing
the stupid things she does. West and Beck round out the story and make for
wonderful characters that help make the story complete. I love this story.
Blurred Lines by Laura
Layne is an interesting story that was a little disjointed but a good fast
read. Ben is a good hero. His and Parker's launch into casual sex turned into
real love make for a good love story. I am glad that Parker’s mother made it.
The author treated the cancer diagnosis in a kind manner. I would read this
author again.
Blind Spot by Tom Kakonis was an intense novel that kept the
pages turning. The father started out as mild and nondescript until his son was
stolen from him. He made a promise to his wife that he would bring the boy back
home. He suffered beatings, sleepless nights, terrors of the unknown while visiting
places he had only heard about in his desperate search for his son. In the end
he and his son were saved by the man who thought he was adopting a son so that
his wife would be happy. He died saving both of them. Well written story.
Code
of Honor
This story was stilted to my way of thinking. I was not sure who the main character was
until I got to chapter two. Pietro and Lucia are a good match. But for Pietro
to be so brilliant he was not believable in keeping his feelings for Lucia
hidden from her and her father. Although it seemed to be evident that the
father did not trust anyone but Pietro to watch over his daughter he seemed to
not know that Pietro was in love with her. The Mafia connection seemed forced
and really did not add a lot to the story. "I received
