eCataRomance review of Maxine Isackson's Prairie Winds

Emily gave Maxine's riveting novel 3.5 Stars.

"Prairie Wind explores prejudice, hope, and the faith to begin again. An intriguing tale that transplants the reader into the late 1800’s and makes you recognize the struggles that were being faced then. Maxine Isakson writes a detailed account of Leah’s journey. I embraced this character and was thoroughly pleased with where the story went. A beautifully intricate read. Put your feet up and enjoy a warm cup of cider with Prairie Wind."

Aurora Reviews review of Vikk Simmons' "Divided Loyalties"

Snapdragon gave this contemporary tale 4 Suns.

"Simmons' conversational style brings all that was familiar about high school back into sharp focus. Somehow, its all a lot more entertaining through the eyes of Trish and her friends, than I remember it actually being! You don’t have to be a young reader to enjoy "Divided Loyalties"."

Long and Short Romance Reviews review of Maxine Isackson's Prairie Wind

Camellia gave this historical romance 4 Books.

"With beautiful writing, Maxine Isackson creates a community in the Nebraska Sand Hills during the late 1800’s that augments the characters who interact with Leah to make a heartfelt story, while revealing the depth and compassion of Leah as she offers shelter, aid, and friendship to those in need. Ms. Isackson also shows how Leah, even-handedly, deals with the new sheriff, the botanist who boards in the bunkhouse, and with the old beaus that once again seek her favor. Very appealing and concise writing, make Prairie Wind a story that grips the reader’s attention."

Long and Short Romance Reviews review of Rachel Smith's Texas Hearts

Camellia gave Rachel's romance 4.5 Books.

"Rachel Smith weaves a tale that encompasses the most petty of gossip to the horrific deeds of murder and mutilation. However, she also lets the reader vicariously experience a love that is deep, true, and driven—a love that has more strength than all the little and huge evils that try to destroy it.

This happy-ever-after is hard won but so appreciated and savored by the hero and heroine that it makes the heart feel SO GOOD."

Aurora Reviews review of Vikk Simmons' "Video Magic"

Tiger Lily gave this contemporary tale 5 Suns! Great job, Vikk!

"Ms. Simmons writes a great novella for the teen generation...I liked the world Ms. Simmons created as well. You felt like you were right there in the action with Kim and her friends—the backbiting, the cliques, the crushes. For me, it was like high school all over again and it was a fun trip down memory lane...If you want a fun read that shows you life can be sweet and sticky, but you can live through it, then you need to read "Video Magic." I give this story 5 suns."

Night Owl Reviews review of Kelley Heckart's Cat's Curse: Book 1 - Dark Goddess Trilogy

Dreamweaver gave Kelley's gripping novel 4.5 Stars and called it a Reviewer Top Pick! Great job!

"This amazing story is very refreshing in the current romance genre.

The storyline had a bunch of twists and turns that kept my attention and intrigued me with anticipation. I so wanted to know the outcome of this unlikely romance. Many interesting characters and love triangles make for a refreshing story that is not as neatly tied up as most romance novels of today, but has managed to make me a fan of the author’s style. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the next book (Beltaine’s Song), Book Two in the Dark Goddess Trilogy, as I have become addicted to the strength, courage and real human facets of the characters in this saga."

Long and Short Romance Reviews review of Janis Susan May's The Fair Amazon

Camellia gave this historical romance novel 4 Books.

"Janis Susan May’s delightful handling of Regency’s unique language and phraseology makes THE FAIR AMAZON sparkle. With intrigue, suspense, and humor, she slips the reader into that time in English history when dress, social functions, to see and be seen with the “right” people were of the utmost importance.

Ms. May’s tangling and then untangling the plot makes a tantalizing tale that keeps a grip on the reader to the very last page.

Regency readers will recognize the elements often used for story set in that time, but Georgina Montcalm’s story has its own special twists and turns that make it hum with undercurrents and unrequited emotions that are captivating."
