The Ship of Brides by JoJo Moyes – A Voyage of Errors
The Ship of Brides seemed like such an intriguing story. The excerpt offered a story that was quite different from the usual romance or drama type books. It was based on actual events, and set in an era I love – the 1940s. I love my War movies and War stories, so this book moved…

Snow on the Bayou by Sandra Hill: ROFL with Tante Lulu
Snow on the Bayou by Sandra Hill is a rare gem, and my first Tante Lulu adventure. I was surprised to know that this is the ninth book in the series. A big plus in the book’s favor is that it did not leave me guessing about what came before, as sometimes happens in later…

Nora Roberts Land by Ava Miles: Book Review
Nora Roberts Land is the first book in the Dare Valley series. It has an engaging plot with lots of romance, some conflict, some intrigue and a mystery in the background. In short, it has something for everyone, just like the books by its namesake. If you know Nora Roberts, you should have an idea…

Sentence of Marriage by Shayne Parkinson: Book Review
Sentence of Marriage is set on a small island in New Zealand. Just the setting reminded me of The Thorn Birds, one of my all time favorite books and part of my 100 books to read before you die list. The story of Sentence of Marriage takes us back to July of 1881, to a…

A Wedding in Provence by Ellen Sussman: Book Review
A Wedding in Provence was quite a surprise. I actually picked up this book thinking it would be a typical bride story with fashion disasters or wedding jitters, but the book turned out to be much more poignant and thought provoking. Olivia and Brody are trying to find an inn in Cassis in the South…

Down by The River is set in a small Smoky Mountain town in Tennessee. The Smokies have always seemed mystic and I picked up this book with great expectations. Expectations that were largely fulfilled by this story. Grace Conley has lived her married life in Nashville. She has four grown children and has been recently…

The All You Can Dream Buffet by Barbara O’Neal: Book Review
As captivating as the title is, the story of The All You Can Dream Buffet does not disappoint. Granted, I have read several books where four girl friends get together and rehash their lives. Almost every author from Danielle Steel to Debbie Macomber has written something of the sort. The four ladies here are friends…

The Lady’s Maid by Dilly Court: Book Review
The Lady’s Maid is part of some books Random House has recently released for the US. Dilly Court writes a rambling yet absorbing tale of two girls born on the same day whose fate couldn’t be any more different. This is a good story with a strong plot that will appeal to a wide number…

The Battered Heiress Blues by Laurie Van Dermark: Book Review
The Battered Heiress Blues has already been optioned for a feature film. This is a book that will be great as a movie, maybe even better. It all depends on which angles of the story are played up. The title of the book is very appropriate. The book is about a woman’s blues, and by…

By The Sea Tess by Antoinette Stockenberg: Book Review
By The Sea is the story of Tess, a young Irish immigrant girl who is transported to the wealthy and opulent life of Newport in the 1890s in the lowest possible station, that of a laundry maid. Antoinette Stockenberg seems to have a thing for seaside towns. A Charmed Place was all about three friends…
