How much can a person take and not break down? Is it possible to get through the hardships alone, without any help from those who care about you? What can heal a shattered soul? K.M. Harding answers these difficult questions in her book “Broken”. And while doing it she puts the readers on such a... Continue Reading →
“A Dutiful Son” by Kelly Miller
What an exquisite delight it was to immerse myself again in the wonderful Austenesque atmosphere created by Kelly Miller! In this “Pride and Prejudice” variation, I found everything I love Jane Austen's original books for. As a true fan of Jane Austen, I have a habit to reread her six full novels. I must confess,...

Without any further ado, please meet…
With a fluttering heart, I present to you my new book. It’s not just another title to add to my catalogue. Everything about this book is new to me. A new genre. A new experience of telling a story set in my home country. So, without any further ado, please meet… Zanda and her story... Continue Reading →
“Alpha” by Kat Kinney
Since I pre-ordered this book and read it right after its release, it’s needless to say that I absolutely love the Blood Moon, Texas Shifters series by Kat Kinney. The more I find out about the lives of the Caldwells and those who get pulled into the enigmatic werewolf family orbit, the more fervently I... Continue Reading →
“Bound” by Kat Kinney
I love the Caldwells! They are now officially one of my favourite fictional families of all time. I am absolutely spellbound by their interpersonal dynamics and relationships with those who come into their circle. And the food! Yes, I applaud the author for making the tastes and flavours of Texas a part of her books’... Continue Reading →
“Crave” by Kat Kinney
“Everyone is good at something. The trick in life was figuring out what your something was.” Dallas Caldwell has figured out what he is not simply good but unequalled at. Kitchen is his podium and grill is his magic wand. He doesn’t simply cook. He creates masterpieces, the citizens not only of Blood Moon –... Continue Reading →
“Mr. Darcy’s Perfect Match” by Kelly Miller
Let me begin this review with a confession. I am very cross with Ms. Miller, the author of “Mr. Darcy’s Perfect Match”, for having written only five books. I’ve already read all of them, and I feel rather bereft not having another elegant Jane Austen variation to look forward to. Having said that, I hasten... Continue Reading →
“Gone Away Girl” by Juliette Caron
"Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere," states the legendary quote by Helen Gurley Brown. I absolutely loved how Juliette Caron proved the opposite in her book “Gone Away Girl”. Chloe is seventeen, and she is a good girl. She makes a tough choice not every “bad” girl gathers enough courage to make.... Continue Reading →
“The Thorn Birds” by Colleen McCullough
This isn’t a story of forbidden love between a girl from Australia and a priest. “The Thorn Birds” by Colleen McCullough is so much more. To be honest, Maggie and Ralph de Bricassart’s love story plotline was the one that fascinated me the least in this book. If anything, it even annoyed me a little. Reading... Continue Reading →
“On Chesil Beach” by Ian McEwan
There was something unpleasantly disturbing about this book that didn’t let me fully enjoy reading it. I couldn’t make myself care about the characters, even though their inner struggles and reasons why they are the way they are were well depicted by the author. Edward and Florence, both in their early twenties and virgins, are... Continue Reading →
