May 17, 2016 I did not really care for this book. On rating it would be a 2. I realize there are others who will enjoy this literary novel. There is too much description about everything and the use of a few words bothered me as well as the seeming acceptance of Augustine and his concubine's relationship. I'm aware that it was true and they parted ways much later. I'm glad he later came to know the Lord and served the Lord the rest of his life. I received this book in exchange for my honest review. Blessings, Karen

FEBRUARY 29, 2016   The Beautiful Pretender BOOK  2  OF THE THORNBECK/ A MEDIEVAL FAIRY TALE SERIES What happens when a margrave realizes he’s fallen in love with a servant? The Margrave of Thornbeck has to find a bride, fast. He invites ten noble-born ladies from around the country to be his guests at Thornbeck Castle for two weeks, a time to test these ladies and reveal their true character. Avelina is only responsible for two things: making sure her deception goes undetected and avoiding being selected as the margrave’s bride. Since the latter seems unlikely, she concentrates on not getting caught. No one must know she is merely a maidservant, sent by the Earl of Plimmwald to stand in for his daughter, Dorothea. Despite Avelina’s best attempts at diverting attention from herself, the margrave has taken notice. And try as she might, she can’t deny her own growing feelings. But something else is afoot in the castle. Something sinister that could have far worse—far deadlier—

May 11, 2016 WOW! Where do I start? This is the first book I have read from author M.B.Tosi and can she write!!! I drank this book up like a horse that had traveled through the desert and found a bubbling brook.

May 5, 2016 Happy Cinco de Mayo!   And I thought I didn't learn any Spanish. It is a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. I would love to be able to open the windows but where I work the windows don't open.  Today I'm reviewing "An Amish Market." This contains four Amish novellas. I love these type of books. If I'm not familiar with an author, this gives me something to read and I'll know pretty quick if I like the story. All four of these are a hit.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING! Men are optional. That's the credo Emma Chandler's suffragette aunts preached and why she started a successful women's colony in Harper's Station, Texas. But when an unknown assailant tries repeatedly to drive them out, Emma admits they might need a man after all. A man who can fight--and she knows just the one. Malachi Shaw finally earned the respect he craved by becoming an explosives expert for the railroad. Yet when Emma's plea arrives, he bolts to Harper's Station to repay the girl who once saved his life. Only she's not a girl any longer. She's a woman with a mind of her own and a smile that makes a man imagine a future he doesn't deserve. As the danger intensifies, old feelings grow and deepen, but Emma and Mal will need more than love to survive. Karen Witemeyer's latest book releases this June, that's next month! Mark it down because you will want this book!  I have read several of her books and they ar
