2 Romance Novels to Read

by Susan Roberts

It's always good to have a few romance novels around the house to read on your sad days.  I like to read a light, happy novel with a happily ever after ending to cheer me up.  Here are two that I read recently.

Handbook for Homicide by Lorna Barrett ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

I tried out another new to me cozy mystery. I've had good luck picking up new series, even when starting in the middle, so I decided to give Handbook for Homicide a try.

The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox ~ a Review

by MK French

Tabby and her sister Alice fled from their Aunt Belefonte, who was exploiting Tabby's gift to communicate with the dead. After getting separated from Alice, Tabby was adopted by Eli, the caretaker for the city's cemetery. There were graves robbed by resurrection men, so Tabby's gift will either help save the cemetery or lead to her own destruction.

Universe of Two by Stephen P. Kiernan ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

"I first met Charlie Fish in Chicago in the fall of 1943.  First I dismissed him, then I liked him, then I ruined him, then I saved him.  In return he taught me what love was, lust, too, and above all what it is like to have a powerful conscience. (p 1)

Chance of a Lifetime by Jude Deveraux and Tara Sheets ~ a Review

by MK French

In 1844 Ireland, Liam O'Connor fell in love with Cora McLeod, the squire's daughter. When she ran off with him, it altered the fate planned for many. Angels intervened and sent him to Providence Falls, North Carolina so that Cora's reincarnation can fall in love with and marry Finn, the man she should have married in 1844. This Cora is very different from her past life, and Liam is tempted to damn his soul just to be with her again.

Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow ~ a Review

by Alison DeLuca

Lately, I've been absorbed by Catch and Kill. I read this book during a difficult start to a new school year, made all the more delicate with COVID and my daughter's 11th grade challenges during a pandemic.
