On the very night the final events of book one, A Daughter of Fair Verona ended, the adventure for What Dreams May Come begins. Christina Dodd penned this quick novella-length “in between” addition to the series. What Dreams May Come is book #1.5 in the Daughter of Montague series and was an escapade for Rosie […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">What Dreams May Come by Christina Dodd</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@ChristinaDodd @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @sophiar...| Books of My Heart
The Kat Holloway series is one of my favorites in the historical mystery genre. We’re well into the series now and I would read these books in order. Daniel is working for Mongahan on a new dangerous case which may be his most dangerous and hopefully, last one. Kat, being a cook, means there are […]| Books of My Heart
“I don’t get no respect,” comedian Rodney Dangerfield once said and neither does Lady Vesper Quill. Vesper may be a newly-minted aristocrat and head of her own prosperous company because she saved a ruler and countless lives, but you wouldn’t know it based on the disgruntlement from several interested parties that do not wish her […]| Books of My Heart
I LOVE the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this newer series. Here’s what I had to say in earlier reviews which gives you a foundation about Frankie: … Frankie is a recovering alcoholic with no special skills beyond tenacity and the fortitude to […]| Books of My Heart
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I enjoyed one of the early books and decided to read the Rescue Me series.

I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I’m trying to fit them in now since I have lots of them now. They seems to be mostly stand alones.

I’ve really enjoyed this Skyland series. It is about three friends who developed in their adult lives but have really supported each other and shared their lives. I would read them in order because of the development of the relationships. Each could be read alone though. Chapters alternate between Hendrix and Maverick’s points of view.

Daily life has grown dull- and a little desperate for clients when India gets called upon once again to do her patriotic duty- this time infiltrating an extremist secret anarchist society. Most would give odds of no chance at all that she comes through unscathed, but then, again, India never counts the […]| Books of My Heart
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed The Witch’s Orchard. The author is new to me and I was impressed with the small town tale with abducted girls tied into a folk tale. The paranormal aspect was very limited. I wouldn’t mind this being the start of a series. Ten years ago, […]| Books of My Heart
Salem’s Cipher series is a re-release. I didn’t know about the older release but I enjoy this author and there is a lot of puzzle solving and treasure-hunting which appeal to me. There is also a distinct focus for women, especially those who have had their scientific discoveries usurped by men. The story begins in […]| Books of My Heart
Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Love Trilogy, was probably one of my biggest surprises this year. Who knew I’d fall in love with serial killers falling in love? But somehow Weaver made it work and I absolutely had a blast with a murdery and spicy series. Love & Other Killers is almost an extended epilogue to the […]| Books of My Heart

If you are down on your luck because fate, that fickle B, has worked you into a corner and it looks like there is nowhere for you to go and nothing you can do, well you might just be a great candidate for a new kind of magical school. This is not the Hogwarts letter […]| Books of My Heart
One of the most endearing TV shows to come out of the 80’s was The Golden Girls and with reruns, succeeding generations have come to know those feisty old gals from Miami. I was tickled to discover that a new to me author had taken up the challenge to pair these TV personalities with a […]| Books of My Heart
I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. They always seem to have very fun banter and humor. So I always want to read her books. The setting for this seems to be Omaha Nebraska with a Warren Buffet type character. Maid for Each Other is a class difference book, not that they really […]| Books of My Heart
Christian White is a new-to-me author, and I had no idea what to expect from this story. Lately, I’ve been on a thriller kick, and this one sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. Kimberly Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother, stepfather, and half-sister, living what she believed to be […]| Books of My Heart
I enjoy a mystery thriller sometimes and this sort where a party on an island gets cut off and then the bodies start dropping is a standard. But the circumstances and characters make it all new. The Bachelorette Party is a group of women in a bridal party going to a retreat on an island. […]| Books of My Heart

I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I knew this was the one I most wanted to hear. Since they are almost all standalone, they should be easier to fit into the reading schedule. The Search is about a woman who trains K9 dogs for search […]| Books of My Heart
Run was Blake Crouch’s first published novel. It has recently been republished with some minor updates. I can see how this novel helped start his career and set him apart as an author. It is fast paced and action packed with plenty of crazy moments. Everything that I’ve grown to expect from a Blake Crouch […]| Books of My Heart
A middle-aged couple are hosting a country house party, a dead body is found on her library rug. Does this set up sound familiar? Oh, yes it does and that middle-aged couple? None other than Agatha Christie and her archeologist husband, Max Mallowan. Of course I had to read Colleen Cambridge’s mystery series set in […]| Books of My Heart
The Fury of the Gods is the final book of the Bloodsworn Saga, a tale set in a world of Animal gods, The Tainted (humans with the power of certain gods in their blood), Witches and regular Viking like people.
