Dark Irish Demon by Leigh Ann Edwards

 


This witch/demon fantasy is fabulous. The plot is exhilarating and very fast paced. Characters are well built and consistent as they travel through time portals, battle altered history and demons. I eagerly await the next book in the Witch and Demon series.



A Death in Chelsea by HL Marsay

 


The women of the WPV (Women’s Police Volunteers) are active again with a murder mystery. The suspects are many and coming out of the woodwork. Each has a motive for the murder. As death piles up, the hurry to solve the crime increases.

A captivating mystery with smart characters.



A Greek Island Escape by Kate Frost

 


The life of a young actress is on a collision course due to a horrible breakup and burnout from acting. A bequeath of a house on a Greek island provides the respite she desperately needs. Lovely descriptions of the island flow from the author’s pen as the story of family secrets and love unfolds.

The Island of Dreams by Helen McGinn

 


A nice tale of love entering two hearts on a Greek island. The backstories are repetitious at times, developing the story of each life. Parts seemed rushed while other parts dragged.



Texas Cowboy Sweetheart by Rebecca Crowley

 


Oh, my! Such a more than lovely story of friendship and love that exists within a story of wishes and hopes, fear and longing. The tale of Josie and Easton began when they were children, forming a lasting friendship that new, existing circumstances would burst into and bring challenges to face.

The Memory of Us by Dani Atkins

 

A story that will bring sadness and joy as it progresses. An apparent accident in mudflats, a created memory, and the diagnosis of a health problem are blended together and form the basis for the struggles between sisters. The connection of the sisters is deep and their ability to sense each other is stirring. 




The Summer Book Club by Susan Mallery

 


Three women friends, each battling past relationship failures, find compassion and  truth in each other. Their heartfelt conversations bring flavor and sage advice to the story. Not all problems have a pat answer and much soul searching is necessary.

I truly enjoyed this story while watching the women grow and develop into whole persons.
