This was a good second installment in the Norfolk Coast series. Another suspicious body found means another crime to solve. Like the first book, there are many potential suspects and numerous interviews. This time around, I felt I knew the main players on a deeper level. We continued to explore the relationship between Kate and […]
Sweet This was a short and light read. Really no angst. Just the story of a group of people staying in a hotel for Christmas vacation to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. All are coupled up except for a London restaurateur and a southern banker who likes to garden. They get to know […]
Happy Place Reading this was a happy place for me. A reporter is assigned to tell the real story behind an actress after someone attempts a smear campaign. The characters were well developed. I really liked them all. The relationship blossomed with authenticity. I sincerely believed in their feelings and insecurities. The book was lengthy […]
Changing course Karen is suddenly drawn to a deceased singer from the past. Obsessed, really. She doesn’t understand why. She gets an unusual opportunity to find out. I absolutely loved the concept. Apart from the first person POV (which was necessary for this story) and the incessantly long monologues (often less necessary), I still was […]
Good action sequences A woman leaves behind her life in NYC by moving to Australia for a better existence. She runs into a local coast guard helicopter pilot whom she immediately dislikes. They continue to cross paths. This was a good story. There were a few ‘action’ scenes that were well written as they truly […]
Won’t you be my neighbor? I don’t know why I decided to read this one. I’m not a huge fan of erotica. But the reviews said there was more of a storyline and people seemed to enjoy it so… Glad I did. There was definitely something exciting reading about the workshop encounters that played out […]
Emotional This story spans a lifetime and at times, the pace felt like that too. This is a long one. But necessary for the length of time it covers. Starts sweet as two girls navigate feelings in high school. Quickly gets very angsty. So read this if you are in the mood for that punch […]
More than a love story A doctor relocates to a small town to take over a clinic who’s previous Dr has gone off to war. She meets an outcast woman who has some things to hide. There was a lot more to this story than just romance. It touched on family, loss, and friendship. The […]
Mercy Lewis, a 1st grade teacher, is convinced to take a vacation with her friend, Racy. She has some trouble letting herself go until she meets a local woman that scooters her outside the comforts of an all-inclusive resort. Overall, it was well written and entertaining. I read it in two days.
