Duplicity by Ingrid Thoft
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my first Fina Ludlow. I won a copy from a blog (quite honestly, I had no idea I was entered). Anyway.
Thoft had me from the first page. Continue reading “Book Review: Duplicity”
2017 – Here I come!
For many years, I set writing goals. I looked back – I have graphics going back to 2013 and I may have done it before then. You may remember that I didn’t set any goals for 2016. To quote Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman”: Big mistake. Big. Huge. Continue reading “2017 – Here I come!”
Book Review: The Ex
The Ex by Alafair Burke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’ve read Ms. Burke’s books before and enjoyed them, so when this one popped up on a special, I figured it was a no brainer. I am a big series reader, but I enjoy a good stand-alone. And this one doesn’t fail to please. Continue reading “Book Review: The Ex”
A funny thing happened on the way to the first draft

But once I got it out of my car… Continue reading “Book Review: The Kennedy Connection”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It’s kind of a trope – people say the latest book an author wrote is “the best ever.”
In Hank Phillip Ryan’s case it happens to be true. Continue reading “Book Review: Say No More”

Book Review: The Bookseller
The Bookseller by Mark Pryor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For some reason I didn’t review this when I finished it.
I was introduced to Mark Pryor and Hugo Marston by reading the fifth book in the series, THE RELUCTANT MATADOR. It was nice to go back to see where it all started.

Book Review: Blood Always Tells
Blood Always Tells by Hilary Davidson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There aren’t many books that keep me guessing from beginning to end. This one did.
