A Season of Surprises at the Villa des Violettes by Patricia Sands

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fabulous book. The sights, sounds, and even smells jump off the page into your heart. The descriptions of the Carnival and the mimosa flowers is outstanding. One can believe they are in France as they take this journey with the characters. The side stories are wonderful and engrossing. There is mystery and romance. This is a wonderful escape from a rainy Ohio.

The Season of Silver Linings by Christine Nolfi

The Season of Silver Linings by Christine Nolfi

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Christine Nolfi is a master storyteller. Great story-line. This third book in the Sweet Lake series is well-written, enjoyable, hard to put down, a romance, mysteries, and of course the Sirens. One has to love the Sirens. I want to be one. I suggest one begins reading this in the morning as you cannot put it down. The reader has suspicions on what is going to happen, but there is also surprises along the way. This might be the best in the series, but hopefully there will be more down the line. I suggest one read all of Ms Nolfi's books. They are excellent reads.

Liars Like Us by Mary Campisi

Liars Like Us by Mary Campisi

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is one of the best Mary Campisi's novels in my estimation. There is a bit of mystery and a whole lot of romance within the pages. While I wasn't too keen on the first book in this series, I loved this one. Charlotte and Tate are well developed characters with a realism that one appreciates from this author The plot is exciting and new. I found myself not being able to put it down until I finished it. I didn't even mind the fact that there are a couple of cliffhangers because the main story is neatly wrapped up. Oliver and Jennifer's relationship is one of the cliffhangers and who is the mystery father of the child. I think I know, but cannot be certain. This is a must read for all fans of Mary Campisi. "I voluntarily reviewed this ARC in exchange for an honest review."

Time to Blog Again

I have decided to update my blog and start using it.  Been doing a lot of reading and have come across a bunch of new favorite authors besides my original favorites of Nicholas Sparks and Nelson DeMille.

Here is my list in no particular order:

Toby Neal

Christine Nolfi

Bette Lee Crosby

Mary Campisi

Kim Hornsby

Nely Cab

Julie Gilbert

I also have been reading the Lei Crime Series Kindle World.    These are fantastic and there are a bunch of other authors that one can discover.  Actually that was how I found Christine Nolfi.

Additionally, I found some of the authors from Face Book parties hosted by BookRhythm  There, one can discover additional details about the writers and their books, win free stuff, and learn a whole bunch of knowledge about the book world.  

I am sure I left some authors out.  Try some of their books.  A few of them can be found at your local library or on Overdrive.  I hope you like at least a few of them.
