Kaine's Sanctionâ Shattered Empire, by DM Pruden; a brief review
While I love space operas and am willing to try new authors, especially indie efforts, this opening novel didnât make me want to download books 2 and 3 in the series. Not yet, anyway. The main character introduced in the exposition doesnât help the reader come to love the hero, as he seems to be an entitled cad. In the opening chapters, the plot moves Kaine from the academy to his AdmiralâŚ

Freedom of a Highlander by Katy Bakerâa brief review
Iâve long loved time travel romances. Honestly, I donât know why, I just do. The usual version of these involves a feisty heroine who somehow ends up in a different era, with different morals, mores, and even food that is unfamiliar. Sometimes it works in reverse, and the time traveler is the hero, who must rely on a modern woman to assist him as he navigates the unfamiliar setting. Regardless,âŚ

Poverty while not poor at all
On Tuesday, I became poor. How? Why? This tale actually began a couple of weeks before Tuesday. While paying my monthly credit card bills, I mistakenly sent $35.16 to Chase instead of Citibank. On Monday, I got an email telling me to log onto my Sears/Citibank account because the payment was past due. Okay, I did that, and saw a balance due of $101.32. I knew that the only thing ever charged onâŚ

Sorry for the long hiatus. No excuses, I just havenât been writing much lately. I have, however, been putting in more time in front of the bigger screen, so let me spend a while on that topic. Like many of you, I have enjoyed streaming services for a long time now. Hubby and I abandoned âcableâ and then âsatelliteâ television services roughly a decade back. Our initial service was Netflix, andâŚ

Rancher to the Rescue by Barb Hanâ a brief review
Thereâs no new thing under the sun, according to the teacher in Ecclesiastes, and when I read Barb Hanâs romantic suspense novel, Rancher to the Rescue, I didnât find that much novel about it. Take a pinch of âlove at first sight,â then a dab of paternal instinct, add a smidge of amnesia, and mix in some bad boy from a past relationship along with a bit of âwho is gonna inherit now that grandpaâŚ

Rocky Ground by Kaylea Crossâ a brief review
Tiana Fitzgerald, the central character in Rocky Ground, tersely summarizes her poor taste in men in the first paragraph of the book. Her first husband fathered her child, Ella, then abandoned them. The second husband was a pedophile who molested her daughter. This novel is part of a series set in a fictional town along the coast, Crimson Point, and Tiana lives in a rental house there, with herâŚ

The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmelâa brief review and commentary
âThe Book of Lost Names is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil.â I seldom write reviews of best selling fiction because everyone else does it. Indeed, as I write this, Goodreads has over 5k reviews for The Book of Lost Names (and more than 43K ratings.) And, yep, it got a lot of five star reviews, which are indeed well deserved.âŚ

ChallengerâThe Final Flight, a brief review of the Netflix series
June Scobee Rogers ChallengerâThe Final Flight is an amazing documentary which does far more than tell the tale of the final, fatal launch of the space shuttle Challenger. In this documentary, many people speak, as the engineers, managers, family members, and even a few other astronauts are still alive and can give their accounts. Americans remember the accident, as it was a national tragedy, inâŚ

Beginnings of Love, set of romances by Erin Wright
Beginnings of Love, set of romances by Erin Wright
Beginnings of Love is an eBook boxset which is comprised of the first two books in the Long Valley series. These are what Iâd term contemporary western romances, and I liked both of them. Book one is Accounting for Love, which alternates point of view characters Stetson (yes, like the hat) Miller, a farmer who canât make his payment on his farm, and Jennifer Kendall, a rookie accountant sent outâŚ

Daybreak (Girl From the Stars Book 1)Â review
This eBook from 2015 is apparently self-published, as the author Cheree Alsop is also listed as the publisher. According to her bio, Alsop has published 40 books, plays bass in a band, and likes riding motorcycles. Dang! I wish I had time to write and publish 40 books, rear children, keep a hubby happy, and ride motorcycles. Daybreak is not a bad read, but as some other reviewers mentioned, itâŚ

A Contemporary Western Nowadays, romances seem to come in flavors, and my two faves are sci fi romance and contemporary western romance. One look at the cover art, and it is quite obvious that my latest romance fits into the western sub-genre. Point of view character Tessa is a schoolteacher taking over in mid stream, as well as escaping a smothering former male companion. We used to call thoseâŚ

The Queenâs Gambitâ a quick review
Every time we think about canceling Netflix, a new show comes along that makes it a sound investment. The new mini series, The Queenâs Gambit, is such a show. Thereâs much to like about this television version of the novel by Walter Tevis. This is a complex story, set in the 1950s and 60s, but it is never-the-less easy on the eyes, due to excellent writing and direction. Beth Harmon isâŚ

A âMade in the USAâ find at Walmart
This is gonna sound so trivial. And it is. But, a friend was lamenting that finding good pencils is a chore these days. Sheâs homeschooling a two offspring, and as they are young they tend to break pencil points, which is a pain if the lead is so loose in the fake wood that it rattles around instead of lasting under the pressure of little ones. Worse, it is darned near impossible to sharpen oneâŚ

Away is already an âorphanâ
Science fiction comes in lots of flavors, i.e. sub-genres, these days. Away, a series on Netflix, is in the ânear futureâ category, like Gravity or The Martianwhich were both successful films, although very different in tone. Since the fizzling out of manned missions to the moon, Mars has generally been the next goal, and Away takes the viewers there, along with anâŚ

Twin Passionsâ a brief review and commentary
Recently, I was offered a âbox setâ of romances by Miriam Minger, called Captive Brides, at a discounted price. Okay, the whole âcaptive brideâ plot sounds a bit like an 80s thing, but I am getting old and flat out tired of woman centric stories, so I bought the set. Thus far, I have only read the first book, Twin Passions, but I rather liked it. Hereâs the book blurb: âBeautiful, feminineâŚ

This book is the first in a series by Kaylea Cross, and while it was published in 2013, the plot line is still fairly contemporary. Fans of Suzanne Brockmanâs Navy Seal series (yea!) should like this novel. Although there is some exposition for other novels in the series, it is not so overdone that this book canât be read as a stand alone.
Basically, Hunter Phillips, former Navy Seal and currentâŚ
