The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese

 

It is not only friendship that ties the characters of Ingrid, Cece, and Joel together. It is an undying love of words-written, spoken, and unspoken. The relationship of Joel and Ingrid is torn apart and left to wither away. The loss of Cece furthers the divide until a lost letter and a manuscript bring them back face to face. It is a long, arduous journey for both of them filled with grief, sorrow, regrets.

This is a novel I will cherish and reread several times. It touches the heart and soul of a reader with the beauty of its words.

North of Nowhere by Allison Brennan

 

North of Nowhere is an exhilarating, thrilling ride from page one. There are a lot of characters involved in the search for siblings. Some are good guys, others are more than horrible. Ms. Brennan keeps excellent track of the characters with a tight narrative. I honestly could not read without momentarily stopping to catch my breath.

The Prospector's Only Prospect by Dani Collins

 

Such a delightfully great story full of funny scenes, tense scenes, and touching scenes. The character of Marigold is smart and a spitfire. Virgil may seem sullen and cranky but it is a mask to keep things steady at his mining camp. They play off each other creating a refreshing historical take on love.
