Love, Holly by Emily Stone



 I fell in LOVE with "Love, Holly".  This is a romance story that explores the power of fate and reminds you about the power of forgiveness.  Holly is driving with her sister and stops at a small cafe to get a coffee.  While there she randomly meets a handsome stranger.  Little does she know that her life is going to change dramatically in the next few hours.  This story had an emotional impact to me as I had a loved one in the same situation as Emma.  I did shed a few tears along the way but I really enjoyed this story.  It was a wonderful novel that had so many wonderful connections and I loved how the characters were all intertwined in ways I couldn't imagine.  A great read for anyone looking for a book that will touch your heart strings especially one set during Christmas.

The King's Jewel by Elizabeth Chadwick- Publishes 4/18/23

  Elizabeth Chadwick is a master at historical fiction.  I loved how she brought the story of Nesta, a Welsh princess, to life.  I had never heard of Nesta before, even though I have read quite a few books set in the 11th and 12th centuries.  Nesta's home is attacked, her father is killed, and her brother is sent fleeing to Ireland.  Nesta is forced to live with the Normans until she is of an age to be married off.  After a couple of years as a hostage, she catches the eye of Henry, the kings younger brother. He forces her to become his mistress, and Nesta starts a new form of captivity.  After having Henry's son, Nesta is offered in marriage to Gerald, who is a Norman who currently lives on the land where she grew up.  Gerald is a decent and honorable man but he is not Welsh and Nesta has never really been given a choice where her love life is concerned.  Owain enters her life and Nesta has to make a choice for herself.  Does she stay w...

The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning

 This was an excellent start to a new series.   Zo has lost everything when she learns that she has received an inheritance from an unknown relative.  She travels to Divinity, Louisiana and finds out that she stands to inherit millions as well as a home but there are some very strange and constricting conditions.  She soon finds out that everything she has known is not what it seems.  She is thrust into a  world of witches and other paranormal creatures.  She must keep her head and find out everything she can if she is going to survive. Karen Marie Moning is one of my all time favorite authors because of her writing. She blends mystery, romance, fantasy, and suspense in this must read story.  I love that Zo is a strong female. She is an interesting character who is not afraid to fight for what she thinks is right.  The best part of the book was how the author kept unfolding the events so that I had to read more.  The ending is a cli...
