Beach Dreams Review
Beach Dreams is Trish Perry’s latest book. Up front, there are a couple things you need to know. First, this cover is TOTALLY different from her first two. The reason: she’s finishing Sally John’s Beach House series. Hence, the title is Beach Dreams. Second, this book is Tiffany and Jeremy’s story, but the style is a bit different, I think …
All Through the Night Review
All Through the Night was a book I picked up expecting to like, but not inhale the way I did. I enjoyed My Soul to Keep, and thought this book would be similar. Nope, this one definitely upped the meter on the suspense. And LOVED the hero and supporting characters. In All Through the Night, Davis Bunn’s latest book, broken …
Searching for Spice Review
Megan DiMaria’s debut novel Searching for Spice is a fun switch from the typical books I read. It was one I savored instead of racing through. Here’s a synopsis: Linda Revere longs to have a sizzling affair … with her husband — a practical, no-nonsense community college science teacher.

Interview with Author of The Shack and Giveaway
Wednesday, I participated in a blogger conference call with William P. Young, the author of The Shack. This is greatly abridged; it’s just the notes I typed as quickly as I could. I tried to capture the highlights, and I hope that you can get a part of Paul’s (as he is called) personality. He is incredibly smart and humble, …

Wiser than Serpents Review & Author Contest
Susan May Warren’s latest thriller Wiser than Serpents, is another page-turning, nail-biting, can’t-life-stop-until-I’m-done? kind of book. The third in the Mission:Russia series, this book from Steeple Hill stands completely on its own. Somehow I have book two but managed not to read it, yet didn’t feel like I missed anything that was important to this book. Yanna Andrevka infiltrates a …
Act Two: A Review
Act Two: a Novel in Perfect Pitch is a delightful offering from Kimberly Stuart. This is the first of her books that I’ve read, though I’ve heard great things about her books. Particularly from a friend of mine who happens to be her agent. Any thoughts he was merely biased evaporated as I read this book. New Yorker Sadie Maddox …
The Edge of Recall Review & Giveaway
I have not read many Kristen Heitzmann books — in fact I think the only other one of hers I read was Halo several years ago. I wasn’t sure what to expect with The Edge of Recall, even after the first few chapters. The plot and characters slowly sucked me in until I couldn’t put the book down. I’d classify …
