Heroes and Villians….
Review of The Hero Always Wins by Robert Eaton Never judge a book by its cover or by a really quick glance; initially the cover of Hero Always Wins reminded me of a romance novel, which is why it languished so long on the reading list. Oh, how wrong I was. It was the perfect … Continue reading Heroes and Villians….

My eyes simply gave out, not my desire to read. The tale follows the lives of two sisters after the death of … Continue reading Sense and Sensibility without Sea Monsters
Getting to Know Jane –

Like all good protagonists these days, she … Continue reading Ties That Bind (A Madison Knight Novel) Review
