The Sound of Red Returning Book Review
Except for a little bit of a lull in the middle, I thoroughly enjoyed this story! The main female character cast as a gifted concert pianist was enough to sway me to read it, and I loved the scenes where she was completely in her element performing. A love story snuck its way in about midway through, and it contrasted well against the manhunts and fear lurking around every corner. There were WAY more surprises and twists than I expected which only made it that much interesting the further I read. The ending set itself up nicely for future books in the series. Highly recommend!

A Wedding Blunder in the Black Hills Book Review
What a charming contemporary romance! I loved the premise of two main characters trying to pretend that they’re dating so their nosy mothers will stop trying to set them up on dates. They’re pretending proved to be futile as they slowly start to develop feelings for one another, and as I furiously turned the pages, I loved every minute of it. This story had a little more depth than most contemporary romances. Millie had a lot of baggage – like A LOT – and believed that she was doomed to continue a family cycle of leaving/quitting/giving up when things got hard. If she had only known the real reasons behind…
