In the Shadow of the Lions is a book that will sweep you back in time to the days of Henry the VIII. I’m a huge history buff, and remember reading so many biographies as a teen on the wives of Henry and then on his daughters. There’s something captivating about royalty! As I read this book I could smell …
Review: Bon Appetit
I loved this book! In fact, I’m going back to buy book one… this book stands completely on its own, though it’s the second in the series. Bon Appetit is a delightful story about a young woman chasing her dreams — all the way across the ocean. Lexi Stuart lands in France to attend chef school so that she can …
Review: Back to Life
Lindsey realized when she married Ron, a man 17 years her senior, that the odds were he’d see heaven before her, but she never expected to be a widow at 35. There’s too much of life left for her to just sit around in mourning. But she can’t seem to kick start the rest of her life. That is until …
Review: A Passion Redeemed
Y’all know how much I loved A Passion Most Pure…that made me more than a little leery as I picked up A Passion Redeemed. Could Julie do it again? Pull me into a plot brimming with romance? And could she redeem Charity, the character most of us loved to hate in A Passion Most Pure? The answer to each question …
Review: The Faith of Barack Obama
As I’ve mentioned, this year it has been really hard for this political junkie to get excited about the presidential election. I think the fact that one candidate has clearly expressed his faith, while the other is such a maverick left me wondering what to believe. Plus, if I never received another one of those forwarded emails about Obama’s faith, …

Finding Stefanie Review and Contest
I was just reading a quote from one of those tear off calendars. It said, “some experiences simply do not translate. You have to go to know.” (Kobi Yamada — no idea who that is). This may seem like a strange way to start a review, but I’ve found that quote doesn’t hold true for Susan May Warren’s books. They …
Have I mentioned…
Have I mentioned that I’m an Olympics fan? Have I mentioned that in 1992 while I was in college I worked for the NBC affiliate in North Platte, NE? Yes, I know … It’s probably the smallest affiliate out there, but why do you think Dani Richards is a television journalist in Deadly Exposure? Anyway, back to the Olympics. In …
