I enjoyed this until typified romance elements gushed all over the makings of an excellent adventure and story. A woman disinclined towards hasty decisions of any kind and romance of any kind, is not going to instantly permit someone to kiss her and not so boldly or sexually. You don't even get attracted so easily merely for an appealing physique or personality. I'm glad I know Nora Roberts writes better later on!

An intriguing premise about an affluent family's company needing their expert daughter to authenticate a bronze statue. It was found under a villa and might be an unknown Michaelangelo statue made when he was about 18. Miranda only has a professional relationship with her rigid Mother, the director in Italy. She and her restless brother run an institute in Maine, USA. Their archaeologist Father was always absent.

I have had this second-hand hardcover shelved for years. Maybe two years ago, I began organizing the smattering of Nora Roberts novels I have on hand to see which of them went with volume accompanyments. I owned what I needed for a couple of series and bought the introductions to others. Some, such "The Reef" and "Homeport", are unattached stories. I finished the former. It's time to get this one out of the way!

I am loving this! This is wonderful and it is blissfully, freshly original; no matter how many books you have read about cats approaching the snow. I don';t believe there are many, nor many about the loves of my life, CATS, observing Christmas. The artists, Ann Mortiimer, couldn't have drawn this kitty better. She captures their moves, their structure, their intent eyes, and the adorable faces, shape, and poses.

This story's finish is zooming along.

I am motoring along through a mystery for a change. Canadian greats Gail Bowen and Howard Engel, weave their novels so much about the lives and families of their protagonists that you are invested. Even if a mystery is not always personal to them as this one is so directly and poigantly to Gail's character; the emotion-based perspective always makes even the mystery-solving process feel personal for their readers.

I am sticking with a pair of Canadian mysteries. We switch from Howard Engel near the Niagara Escapment, to Saskatchewan's capital city. This heroine tells a very personal story from volume I, about a husband's senseless murder. They were invested in provincial politcs, she still is. Four books and a few years after, the teen killer is dead, his eerie wife lurking. Joanne's youngest son wants to know everything.

Funny, we scoured one of our charity booksales yesterday. I found this Howard Engel series volume I'm presently reading, in hardcover! Very handy, not only because I adore Howard as one of my top Canadian authors and appreciate his hardcovers. My softcover needs glueing, slated after reading it. However I had to hold loose sections so they don't tumble out. How timely to switch to a hardcover and read with ease!

I love Howard Engel's writing. I will read anything he has penned and remotely authored.

This is one of the fantastic books I find, browsing for second-hand deals from my list. I have heard one protest that this is entirely European. An English author and a Dutch illustrator are two reasons. Canada's art is of unrivalled beauty and depth. However famous paintings predate our existance: our 150th confederation was this July 1st! A Canadian author would add Robert Bateman and the Group Of 7 for sure.

Whatever Benny Cooperman is doing, you can count on Howard Engel's superb creativity and writing to paint colourful personalities that make every action or adventure a pleasure to read. Keeping everything Canadian is an exceptionally special touch. We are tired of everything taking place in England or the United States. Canadian cities, towns, customs, and law enforcement are well worth visiting!

I love Howard Engel, along with the pleasurable fact that I can envision his town's environs. I took in Niagara Falls and its memorable details twice. It is always nice and high time to feature Canadian cities and settings. When they are those you can personally picture, like the general Niagara Escarpment region, what an extra thrill. Howard's superb and comic writing are impressive, as is his honourable sleuth.

I thought 5 stars as one of the best teaching books, with good workable knowledge of metaphysical disciplines: animal communication, auras.... and meditation to do all similar work and message-receiving well. 4 stars for prepostrous, heavy-handed use of "gentle" with things that ARE soft; massage, floating!!! I especially feel that imagining separate places for anything; past, future, or spirits, is irrelevant.

This textbook contains an unexpectedly good range of healing and metaphysical subjects and strikes the basics so that readers become informed well about Monica's sampling. Example, anyone for whom Reiki healing and the auras that surround everybody were new, would not only be clued into what they are but could try exercises saying how to see and feel auras. It starts with meditation, animal communication and grows.

I hope my precious cat appears home very soon. I have missed him for two months because he is one of my most profound sources of joy.

She is banned from using the word "gently" and especially from plunking it into stupid uses too, like when a concept is already soft!!!!

I wish I had been in the mood to read last night and soar through great progress. I read a few pages before deciding to sleep. This introduction to Monica Diedrich's instructional trilogy is excellent, I'll finish it today. It's funny, I read her first, unrelated book years ago. It must be why I delayed this one for years. I like turning to a variety of authors. I gave it to a friend and wasn't keen to keep it.

This is animal communication instruction I bought around 2004. After my childhood cat passed away, it blew me away to see that there is validation of my certainty, that she was equally sentient and I could understand her directly. Most instructions say to quiet the mind, send love, visualize offering a connection between you, and letting information flow in. Monica describes how to quiet a mind; true first steps!

Discussing letters could be tedious but house owners Mark and Rebecca Spencer sufficiently built up how exciting and lucky it is, for the readers to enthuse about too, that they found Ladell's letters. We have also been treated to a great deal of paranormal moments, simple enough to render them believeable. They are snippets of wonder here and there, we must recognize and appreciate. The love story is a new layer.
