What a dog wants…
Are you the leader of your pack? I’ve always considered myself an independent when it comes to being a leader or a follower. I hate to lead or follow, so I usually just do what I want. Recently I have noticed that my pack is doing exactly what they want and using guilt to control […]

Kimberly Lang has spun a charming story that makes you want to pack your bags and move to Magnolia Beach.

Karma’s Witches series up to book 15 Review
First off, book, is a misnomer. Most of these are shorter and though some are clearly labeled novellas, I prefer a hearty portion to be longer than what I see here. I began reading the series because I am a fan of books by Elizabeth A. Reeves. I find the saga uneven. There were […]

A review of Madge H. Gressley’s, Inescapable
Inescapable is a fast paced romance that doesn’t play by the rules. I like this! Growing up reading romance, I am familiar with the usual formula expected by most publishers. Man meets woman, falls helplessly in love, though some conflict happens, all is roses at the end. This intriguing story throws the reader for a […]

Gemini; The Sign Behind The Crime: Book 1, By Ronnie Allen (Review by Minette Lauren)
Gemini is a great suspense thriller engaging the talents of a clairvoyant forensic psychiatrist, Dr. John Trenton, who has quite an ego. I love books where the characters feel real, and this book offers a lot of personalities to wonder about. The doctor walks the reader through several gripping therapy sessions to peel back […]
