It’s a favorite contemporary romance. Sarah and Isaac’s story is raw, messy, and filled with real emotion. The chemistry between these two is hot while also having such a beautiful emotional depth. I will be reading more novels by Jewel E.Ann

The Calamity Club
by Kathryn Stockett

book cover


I vary rarely write reviews, so it's uncharacteristic for me to attempt one now. But, away I go. I absolutely loved The Calamity Club. Ms. Stockett does an excellent job of transporting this reader smack dab into the lives of southern women during the Great Depression in Mississippi. These southern women--and one astutely bright young girl--must be resourceful during a time where their men, including fathers, have passed, or shirked their parental duties, or left them bereft of financial opportunities to be able to survive and thrive. It's a must read tale of resilience, survival, hope, and love. And the power of women to overcome odds stacked against them.

Morality for Beautiful Girls
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.

Whose Body in the Library
by Eva Gates

book cover


I enjoyed this Mystery. This is the first book I have read from this author. It takes place in the Outer Banks and surrounding regions and the library is in a lighthouse. A body is discovered on the steps of the library and has a direct relation with the newly employed Assistant Director who is the Main character in the story. This relation has been estranged from our main character Nichelle for 38 years since she was 16. I like the fast paced, to the point writing and I also wanted to know the answers which encouraged me to keep reading.

Seduction Theory
by Emily Adrian

book cover


What a great book! And what really make it interesting is the way it is set up. It starts out as the beginning of an MFA grad student’s dissertation but then evolves into the book itself. And while it starts off as third person narrative, at some point it becomes first person, which just adds a whole new layer to the story. And to say that the story is about a man cheating on his wife and the wife maybe cheating on her husband (you’ll have to read in order to make sense of that) does not begin to do it justice.
