Review: "His Last Hope" by M.A. Malcolm

This has been a great Labor Day weekend for me. I was able to read a few books and they were all from new authors.

The first book I read this weekend was by M.A. Malcolm. "His Last Hope" hooked me from the moment I read the blurb (first seen when I wrote my Friday sales blog featuring Ms. Malcolm.)

"His Last Hope" begins when Hope wakes up in the hospital with amnesia. She has no recollection of who she is or where she comes from. In fact, her hospital roommate, Aunt Ruby, is the one to sugges...

If you were here yesterday, then you know I reviewed "A Side of Hope" the third sandwich book. I know, I know, I did it out of order. I didn't mean to, but the great thing is these books can stand on their own.
So what can I say about "A Side of Faith?" How about: I loved this book! This book grapples with a myriad of issue but it doe...

Review: "A Side of Hope" by Krista Phillips

While perusing Facebook, I saw a post advertising the book, "A Side of Hope." Imagine my surprise to discover the author of "Sandwich, with a side of Romance" wrote two novellas set in the town of Sandwich, Il.

I was beyond excited because I loved the first Sandwich novel. So even though it wasn't on my TBR pile, I went ahead and read it first. And I wasn't disappointed.

The story line in "A Side of Hope" has to be one of the most original ones I've read in awhile. Tilly Davishits the big 4-0...

My youngest son has a version of the disease (there are different abnormal hemoglobins which can create the disease). In the five years he's been alive, he's had to...
