A personal ad catches her eye: a widower in California needs a wife and mother for his 6-year-old daughter. Is this Sophie's chance to get a warm bed, plenty of food, and a sense of home that she desperately missees?

The Yes Factor by Erin Spencer & Emma Sable ~ an Audiobook Review

by Donna Huber

I was hesitant to listen to this audiobook because I wasn't sure what kind of romantic comedy it would be. But it reminded me of the dating self-help book that came out many years ago where the author said "yes" to anyone who asked her out, so I decided to give it a try and hoped there weren't any steamy sex scenes.

Murder in the Belltower by Helena Dixon ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

Couple sleuths are my favorite type of cozy mysteries. And Kitty Underhay and Matt Bryant are a great couple. Add to it that the book is set during one of my favorite time periods - the 1930s, and I can't wait for the next book. Helena Dixon's Murder in the Belltower is a fun Christmas time mystery that is full of characters with secrets.

The Unwilling by John Hart ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

"Jason drank again and French wanted so much, just then.  He wanted to slap away the anger from his son, to pull him up and squeeze him so hard there'd be no question of favorites or history or love.  He wanted to say, 'You're my son goddamn it, and I don't care what you've done or what you are or even that you hate me.'  He wanted to hold the boy until his heart was flooded and the sun rose and his arms hurt. Instead, he nodded again and walked away." ( p 31)

Winter Reading - January Wrap-up

by Donna Huber

Usually, January feels like a long month, but I think after last year nothing can feel quite as long as those months. I'm back to my average amount of books read and there are a few more television shows entertaining me. The only other thing is work as I'm still not going into stores or restaurants.
