Must Love Romance Novels by Lacy Williams - Contemporary Romance
This is a cute second-chance-at-love story involving older adults. Donna, a romance author with some success, has fashioned her heroes after Jacob, who broke her heart years ago. When circumstances keep throwing them together, she has to resist the pull to fall for him again. Clueless Jacob doesn't understand why she pushes him away until he reads her novels, but he's got his work cut out for...
Show Me Betrayal by Ellen E. Withers -- Dual Timeline Mystery
With two mysterious deaths sixty years apart to unravel, this story will keep you guessing. The setting involves an inherited mansion in Missouri, which serves almost as a secondary character, with its elegance and secrets. Well written with sufficient clues for the reading sleuth, the story moves at a steady pace. My only disappointment was that the possible romance didn't develop as I'd hoped,...
Project Scrooge by A. M. Heath
This is a fun, and yet touching, take on the popular Dickens story. Sandford hasn't spoken to Natalie in years, not since his fiancee dumped him, and he blames Natalie for it. Natalie misses her best friend and wishes she could set his world right again. So, with the help of his aunt and two young friends, she devises a plan to banish his Scrooge-like moods. Their crusade almost works until Natalie finds she can't hide the...

Love's True Measure by Lori Dejong is an upbeat contemporary romance that drew me right into Shannon and Hunter's world. Although Shannon is sweet and cheerful, there's a depth to her that only comes from past struggles. Readers cannot help but root for Hunter who works so hard and does his best to care for his sister, Brylie. Adding to that is a cast of friends who surround them all with prayers and acceptance--friends who share their own stories of faith...
Ah, is there anything a writer loves more than a story about writers and editors? Well, yes, a well-crafted story about those people. The author paints her characters so well, the story develops like a mind-movie, certainly Hallmark worthy. Rom-com lovers will adore it, especially since it also mentions some well-known rom-coms. An easy, delightful read, perfect for the beach or wherever you go.
I hope you'll bear with me while I explore this new format. I plan to deliver the same type of content as you found on the old website.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” In other words, change is a necessary part of life, so we should expect it and adapt to it.

It looks different because I switched hosting platforms. The URL is slightly different, now including my maiden name,...
