‘The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins’ Book Review

March 23, 2026

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

March 23, 2026

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. It was a refreshing read I’m sure I’ll return to again and again. Main Themes Bronwyn…

‘Raging Waters’ Book Review

March 10, 2026

Raging Waters is Dana Mentink’s second Elements of Danger novel, although I thought it lacked the electric nature of her first installment. Main Themes In this romantic suspense novel, Mackenzie is on the hunt for the man who murdered her brother. Her drive for revenge is relentless, and she won’t allow anyone or anything to…

‘Whiteout’ Book Review

February 23, 2026

In this thrilling two-novella collection by Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey, two sets of characters each face their own snow storm with their own set of challenges and dangers. Pettrey’s story kicks off the book with a slasher story, and then Eason finishes out with a suspenseful mystery, with the characters racing to stop the…

‘A Deeper Well’ Book Review

February 23, 2026

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

February 17, 2026

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…
