Review of “Royally Confused” by Jill Boyce

I have read all of Jill Boyce’s other books which are a different series called “A Dose of Love”. And I also read the short prequel to this book which is called “Royally Surprised”. This is the first book in the “Royal Medicine” series. This book centers around Claire Thomson whereas the prequel tells about how her parents met and what happened with them. The author does a really good job of drawing you into the lives of her characters. Similar to fairy tales, there is one character who is out to get the main character, Claire, and is not nice at all. I would definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Finding His Family” by Christina Miller

This is my first book by Christina Miller. In “Finding His Family”, Abe Armstrong runs a gym in his hometown of Natchez which is where he has his first encounter with his wife that he abandoned four years prior. Unbeknownst to him, she was pregnant at the time. However, he finds out about his daughter on this same encounter at the gym when Rosemary brings her dad for his boxing class to help with his Parkinson’s disease. Unlike a lot of the books I have recently read where a guy does not realize he is a father, I think this is the first one I have read where the couple was married and then the guy left but they never got divorced. I think that adds an interesting twist to this particular story. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and I loved that you find out Abe does not want his gym to fail because that would mean the boxing class would have to end. The same boxing class he started specifically for the pastor that helped his family as a kid. I found that this novel definitely pulled at my heartstrings.

Review of “Power Play” by Rachel Dylan

Power Play by Rachel Dylan is the third book in the Capital Intrigue series. I did not feel at a disadvantage having not read the first two. A dinner for diplomats in the nation’s capital leads to two separate incidents both of which call for investigation. Could they be connected in some way? As you are introduced to Viv and Jacob and also Delaney and Weston, you will find yourself deep into the heart of suspense. So much information has been kept secret causing them to look over their shoulders and fear for their lives. The plot is one of high suspense with a touch of romance woven in. This is definitely a must read for mystery lovers!

Review of “Forever Amish” by Kate Lloyd

This is my first Amish book I have read by Kate Lloyd though I have Amish books by other authors. In this novel, an Englischer named Sally goes to meet an Amish woman named Lizzie who has been emailing her about getting a dog and about having a dilemma. However, there is more to this story than meets the eye and the dilemma that Lizzie mentioned might just be more than Sally can handle. I would definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Along a Storied Trail” by Ann H. Gabhart

Along a Storied Trail is the first book I have read by Ann H. Gabhart even though she has written quite a few. The author does an excellent job with character development. There are characters who are born and bred in Kentucky, and then there’s Damien Felding who comes from New York City to learn all he can from the mountain people. There are those characters who the reader grows to love and those you definitely dislike. Tansy Calhoun is one of the main characters and one of several strong willed women who work as a packhorse librarian who shares her love of books with others. Can you imagine riding through the mountains of Kentucky going from one house to another carrying a satchel of books on a regular basis no matter the weather conditions? This book was hard to put down. It is definitely a book worth reading especially for those who share a love for reading!
