Literary journey of an office career escapee
I like books that have the elusive quality of lulling you into the story. You can’t explain it with logic. The inexplicable pull is just there, and you fall under its spell. “The Unexpected Queen” by A.R. Kaufer had this quality for me. Once I started reading it, it felt as if gently rocking waves...

What a head-spinning journey through the world of the rich and famous reading this book has been! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am glad I already have the remaining two books of the series on my Kindle. “Reckless Trust” by Susan Cochran ticks all the right boxes. Political intrigues that push people to do... Continue Reading →
What a perfect combination of sweet romance and tear-jerker this book is! “Niagara Falling” by Sheila Fowler was exactly what I needed to escape the everyday stress by immersing myself in the story. I liked everything about this feel-good book. The main setting – a tourist spot Niagara Falls – is my kind of place,... Continue Reading →

And... Continue Reading →

I’m already about one-third into the third book of the series, so I’ll keep this review short and to the point. All three books have already begun to mix in my head in one completely engrossing narrative, so I’ll do my best not to give out any spoilers. “Down A Darker Path”, book two of... Continue Reading →
I devoured this book in a few sittings. Like other books by this author, “The Mysterious Disappearance of Mr. Darcy” has everything that Jane Austen fans crave to find in “Pride and Prejudice” variations. More of the romance between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, the English high society, constrained by the strict rules of propriety but... Continue Reading →
