Wednesday in Wyoming - June 10, 2026
You probably knew that Yellowstone was the first national park, but did you know that Devils Tower (no apostrophe in it, even though a grammar purist like me would insist on one) is the world's first national monument?

| Oh, how I hated to see this series end! Regan Allen has created a world that feels real, even though readers know it’s a fantasy. Her vivid descriptions of the land and the creatures (some of which are truly adorable) set these books apart from most. ...more | |

Beyond the Melody: A Veteran and a Bereaved Woman Find a Second Chance at Love in the Aftermath of WW II (Sweetwater Crossing):
"I would give Beyond the Melody ten stars if that was an option! The story takes place in Ms. Cabot’s fiction town of Sweetwater Crossing, and features descendants of characters from earlier books in the series. The premise is unique, and the author h"

Beyond the Melody: A Veteran and a Bereaved Woman Find a Second Chance at Love in the Aftermath of WW II (Sweetwater Crossing):
""Beyond the Melody" warmed my heart, kept me engaged, and kindled hope — not just for the time period in which it is set, post World War II, but for our current times as well. Amanda Cabot is a master of creating unforgettable characters, and Anna an"

Beyond the Melody: A Veteran and a Bereaved Woman Find a Second Chance at Love in the Aftermath of WW II (Sweetwater Crossing):
"This was such a lovely story that I thoroughly devoured in one sitting.
I only have one word. "Sigh" Jim and Anna were wonderful in getting to know. Each had painful pasts to overcome especially Jim. My heart went out to him in more ways than one. I " Read more of this review » |

| The second entry in Regina Scott’s Darling Duchesses series is as delightful as the first. Once again, she gives us not one but two romances, a mystery, and a chance to reconnect with the precocious pug Anastasia. As if that weren’t enough, there’s a ...more | |

| I enjoyed this look into the life of Jane Austen so much that it's encouraged me to reread at least one of her books. However, while the story itself was good, there were many formatting errors that made reading Just Jane more difficult and discourag ...more | |

| It's easy to see why this book received the prestigious RITA award. The combination of an unusual premise (hero just released from prison) and a heroine struggling with her faith and the need for forgiveness makes it a deeply emotional read. Highly r ...more | |

| What a delightful story! Leave it to the ever imaginative Regina Scott to use the Twelve Days of Christmas as a way to bring the hero and heroine together. I don't think I'll ever hear that song again without thinking of this book. I've been bingeing ...more | |

| Each time I read one of Regan Allen’s Bonded Realms stories, I tell myself this one can’t possibly be better than the previous one, because the previous one was wonderful. Each time, Regan proves me wrong. Lady of the Fire includes the tried and true ...more | |
“Her words echoed through her head as she entered her room. Ask God. She had been doing that. Or had she? Abigail stared at the floor. Had she really asked, or had she merely told God what she wanted and then waited for his approval of her plans? She feared she had done the latter. Perhaps that was why she hadn’t received an answer. Slowly, she sank to her knees and bowed her head in prayer. Father in heaven, I’m sorry. I trust you. I know you have plans for me, and they’re better than my plans. Show me your plan. There were no answers, nothing but the feeling of peace that filled her heart. That was enough for now. The answers would come.”

“Isn’t she wonderful?” Oliver’s voice held the same fatuous tone it had when he’d declared himself in love with Miss Smyth, the post’s newest laundress. Though he knew the answer to the question, Ethan couldn’t help teasing Oliver. “Isn’t who wonderful?” Oliver’s eyes widened, as if the answer should be apparent. “Miss Harding. Abigail. She’s the most wonderful woman I’ve ever met.” Ethan wouldn’t disagree with that assessment, even though he could not imagine Abigail as Mrs. Oliver Seton. “You think she’s wonderful even though she refused you?” “She’ll change her mind. I know she will. I tell you, Ethan, she’s the woman for me, even if she’s not as beautiful as her sister.” Ethan blinked in surprise. “You think Charlotte’s prettier than Abigail?” Oliver nodded. “Any man with eyes can see that, but Jeffrey spotted her first. Lucky man. Abigail’s next best.” The thought of Abigail as second best made Ethan clench his fists. Charlotte had a head filled with air. She would never have tried to help him out of the doldrums as Abigail had done, for she would not have even known he had sunk into the mire. Second best? Hah! “You’re crazy, Oliver. Anyone can see that Abigail’s twice the woman Charlotte is. I’m not denying that Charlotte is pretty, but Abigail is in a class of her own.” Oliver’s eyes narrowed as he regarded Ethan. “It sounds like you’re interested in her yourself.” Ridiculous. The thought was absurd. “Of course I’m not. I’m only pointing out the facts.” “I’m warning you, Ethan. You may outrank me, but you’d better not be setting your sights on Miss Harding, because I aim to marry her.” Without waiting for a reply, Oliver stalked away.”
