The Vanished Bride Author: Bella Ellis Reviewer: Ang Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Let me start by saying I am a HUGE Brontë fan.

Marry in Secret Author: Anne Gracie Reviewer: Ang Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Marry in Secret was a fun, fast moving novel.

The Yankee Widow Author: Linda Lael Miller Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: In my experience most historical fiction is a lot of fiction and a little history thrown in for background, color or general information; such is not the case in The Yankee Widow by Linda Lael Miller. Ms. Miller is a […]
Highland Crown Author: May McGoldrick Reviewer: Ang Rating: B+ What I’m Talking About: Highland Crown is the first in a trilogy by May McGoldrick. It is set in Scotland in the 1820s.

Earl to the Rescue Author: Jane Ashford Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: I wanted to like Earl to the Rescue. The storyline had a ton of potential, but it just never lived up to it.

The Last Gentleman Standing Author: Jane Ashford Reviewer: Ang Rating: C What I’m Talking About: My understanding is the The Last Gentleman Standing is a re-release that was originally published some 25 years ago.

A Strange Scottish Shore Author: Juliana Gray Reviewer: Ang Rating: B What I’m Talking About: First, I apologize that this review is not very long; there are just too many places where a spoiler could be dropped and there is nothing worse than a spoiler when it comes to a mystery novel. I am not […]
The Dream Keeper’s Daughter Author: Emily Colin Reviewer: Ang Rating: B What I’m Talking About: The Dream Keepers Daughter was an interesting and multi-dimensional read.
