The Sound of Violet by Allen Wolf

★★★★★ Soon to be a major motion picture! First off, a huge thank you to Morning Star Publishing for reaching out to me about this book. For those of us that read a lot of romance books, it is easy to get caught up in the formula we all love about the tension and suspense …

Vagabond by Mary A.J.

★★★★★ I wasn’t really sure how I was going to feel about this one in the first few chapters. It just had a strange feel in the beginning. But after that, I was consumed by this story and read it in two days because I was grasping at the need to know what happened.  In …

★★★★★ There’s a reason I love really well written historical fiction novels. It connects me emotionally with people from a different time in such a way that it doesn’t feel so very far from my heart.

Follow Me Always by Helen Hardt

★★★★★ What a beautiful conclusion to an intense journey!
