Review: Melissa Cutler’s Risky Business is a must-read!

imageConfession time from this reviewer. I was so blown away by Melissa Cutler’s Risky Business, the first book in her new Bomb Squad series, that I read her backlist. Yes, this book wowed me to the extent that Melissa Cutler is now on my must-read list. Why? Because she writes about people that we all can relate to. They’re not uber wealthy, but they’re our neighbors and friends who are trying the best they can to hold things together.

In the first scene of Risky Business, Allison Whitely is about to deliver her child while her soon-to-be-ex-husband is …

Review: Vonnie Davis’ A Highlander’s Obsession features men in kilts, shifters, and animal communicators

imageA Highland shape shifter, an American animal communicator, an eccentric grandmother – all add up to one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had in a very long time. 

Vonnie Davis’A Highlander’s Obsession, the first book in her new A Highlander’s Beloved series, is just one of the most perfect stories. It doesn’t hurt that the bear shifters have brogues and wear kilts, that there’s a bit of mystery and suspense, some steamy love scenes, a great deal of laughter. Yes, this is a book that I highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for that perfect alpha hero …

Tasty Tuesday Review: The Nourished Kitchen by Jennifer McGruther

imageIt’s the rare cookbook that reads like a life’s journey, but The Nourished Kitchen by Jennifer McGruther reflects the farm-to-table approach to cooking that many of us adhere to.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I requested this book for review. Would the recipes be ones I’d read, reflect on, try, and adopt or would this be more of a fad-type cookbook. I was thrown, frankly, by the fact that it was a best-seller in the Raw Food category. Yes, I was a vegetarian for many years, a vegan for some of those, and did try out a raw …

Review: Laura Simcox’s Various States of Undress: Carolina is a fun, flirty, and touching read!

imageEach week I troll the Amazon lists to find books that are free or almost free for the Friday Feeding Your eReader post. I don’t highlight every book I stumble across. Far from it. These are books I’ve actually read and loved, are by authors I follow and/or have had recommended to me by people I trust. This week, I included Various States of Undress: Carolina by Laura Simcox. No, I hadn’t read any of her books before, but I had heard fun things about this book and, as it was on sale, included it. Then I read it …
