‘The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins’ Book Review
It had been a while since I’ve read a good rags-to-riches trope, and I was thoroughly delighted with Melanie Dickerson’s unexpected plot twists in her latest regency romance, The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins. Main Themes Charlotte Robbins has lofty goals for her life but lacks the money, parents, and social connections to realize them.…
‘Last to Fall’ Book Review
Last to Fall is a satisfying finale to Lynn H. Blackburn’s Gossamer Falls trilogy. A slower-moving romantic suspense, I enjoyed the deep and unconditional support of Bronwyn’s friends and the heavier emphasis on having good people in your corner.

‘A Deeper Well’ Book Review
This gut-wrenching novel by Jill Eileen Smith was so difficult to get through without my heart absolutely breaking for the Samaritan woman mentioned in John 4. The character of Nessa felt so real and her struggles were so raw, it made me want to cry. Smith craft an absolutely masterful story about what life might…
‘Taming Lady Temperance’ Book Review
Taming Lady Temperance is a truly dramatic historical drama from Karen Witemeyer set in the mid-1890s, when women across America were protesting the sale and consumption of liquor. Main character Noreen O’Sullivan has endless passion, rooted in personal experience, about the evils of alcohol, but she lacks charm. And tact. When her hatred for liquor…
