White Dusk by Susan Edwards

Swift Foot's heart is broken and he feels terribly alone, ever since leaving the woman he loves. Now he has returned to marry Small Bird to hopefully end the war started when his father betrayed his people. Small Bird knows that she is destined to walk beside Swift Foot no matter if he chooses to believe it or not. Although a strange passion burns between them old regrets stand between them that must be laid to rest. All the while the enemy is planning his revenge and plans to use Small Bird as the bait.

This is the second book in the White series and it was full of heart ache. Each character has been through something that has broken their heart and reading what had happened to each was gripping. There are multiple love stories playing through out this book and each one is different from the last. I enjoyed reading this book since it tied in very closely with the previous book, White Dawn, and explained why Swift Foot did what he did.  If you have read the first book in the series I strongly recommend reading this one soon after.

White Dawn by Susan Edwards

Emily Ambrose is abandon by her parents in the wilds, and she witnesses their deaths shortly after. Trying to find her way back to the mission an Indian saves her from wild animals. After being abandon yet again, she is found by a trapper John Cartier. John vows to keep his emotions in check until Emily comes to him out of love. When it becomes clear the Emily is no longer safe at John's home they journey to the Mission in hopes of making everything better. With so many secrets of the past Emily must decide whom to place her trust in.

This is the first book in the White series and was heart rendering. There are many horrible things that happen to Emily that I began to wonder if she could find happiness. The beginning of the story was semi confusing since its not clear at first who the main characters are going to be. I enjoyed this book and it was a wonderful start to a great series. I would recommend this book to any one who can feel for the characters within the pages.

White Wind by Susan Edwards

When Sarah's guardian makes it clear that she will pay for her mothers mistakes, she sets off in search of her birth father whom she was told was Indian. Golden Eagle has saved her once before so when their paths cross again he believes that it is the will of the Spirits that he have her. The only thing that stands in the way of their happiness is Golden Eagle is arranged to marry a woman from another tribe. They now must both find a way to be together and conquer the up coming darkness.

This is the fourth book in the White series and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It takes place on the planes in the time of the Indian before the wars. This book had an underlying mystery and a lot of suspense. The ending really through me threw a lop because I was not expecting it at all. This series is heart gripping and wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a great series that will capture your heart.

White Deception by Susan Edwards

Mattie Edwards, the daughter of Star Dreamer, not only lost her eye sight in a fire that claimed her new husband but also lost the gift of sight past down through generations. Now her sight has suddenly come back but all Maddie sees is death and hatred. Reed has traveled a long ways to find the man responsible for killing his wife, now he almost has him. When he is charged with taking care of Mattie everything he ever believed starts to change, but when bad things start to happen to his new love he must face his past in order to save their future.

This book is number ten in the White series and did not disappoint. Although everything seemed to happen at once it was still a good book. This book depicts some of the hardships of being born of both races and how the characters were able to over come some of the obstacles. I really hope that the author continues writing in the White series, there seems to be so much more material and romances for many future novels.

White Dove by Susan Edwards

White Dove knows she is destined to marry a great warrior worthy of her, so she has become the best warrior she can be. Jeremy Jones lost his heart to Dove the first time they met, and is constantly trying to catch her attention which sometimes leaves him in trouble. Now Jeremy decides to train to be a warrior among the Sioux so that he may be everything that Dove wants, even if shes not sure herself.

This is the ninth book in the White Series. The characters in this book were mentioned in previous books and it was fun to see how things worked out for multiple characters that I already had read about. I am really starting to enjoy this series even though I am reading them out of order. These books are about Indians and takes place before the war between them and whites. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a series were the books all intertwine and connect.

White Wolf by Susan Edwards

White Wolf reluctantly takes up as wagon master, but he has one rule, no unmarried females may go. Jessie can't stand the new wagon master and so she disguises herself as a boy so she may stay with whats left of her family. Now she just needs to keep Wolf from knowing her secret, and stealing her heart. Wolf knows that there's something up with Jessie but when he discovers who she is he resolves to keep his distance.

This book is number five in a series of twelve and was very captivating. I haven't read the first four books but now I'm hoping that they are as enjoyable as this book was. All the trouble that Jessie gets into made me laugh aloud many of times and the way Wolf reacted made me want to shake him. I didn't want to put the book down at all and when I did, I wondered what the ending would be like. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance and who can enjoy a book enough to feel for the characters.

Improper Relations by Juliana Ross

Hannah is an unpaid companion to her late husbands aunt.

Leo decides to educate Hannah on how women can enjoy themselves during love making, and although he is younger than her, he becomes attracted to her. When they are caught Hannah is sent away and now Leo must choose his fortune or her.

This book is like a diary of Hannah's road to self pleasure and is very well written. Although some words were very crude it was an excellent read and somewhat informative. The epilogue was very good and I really enjoyed learning what became of these characters and how their lives ended up. This was a short sweet love story and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys short romance novels.

John believes Drusilla is heading to get her wayward love back, so when he starts to have feelings for her things get complicated. After retrieving her sister Drusilla finds she loves John now the only thing that stands in their way is her father.

This book was very good and I couldn't wait to see how they would end up together. I hope there is a second book that gives you some clue as to how things turned out for them in the end, since the ending is somewhat of a cliff hanger. Some of the antics the characters get into had me laughing and wondering what they were up to. Although this book is an adult romance novel the language isn't very explicit or crude. I would recommend this book to any romance lover.

A Veil of Pearls by MaryLu Tyndall

Adalia Winston has escaped her abusive master and fled to America to start a new life. She is content with helping out at the slave orphanage and being a doctors apprentice. Although when she meets Morgan, a plantation owners son, she tries very hard not to fall in love with him. Morgan tries over and over to charm her, but when her secret comes out will their love breach all boundaries?

This book takes place in America when everyone owned slaves and thought nothing of it. It really opened my eyes to how badly slaves were treated and how haughty the social elite were. The one thing that made this book stand out was the epilogue, I enjoyed reading what happened to the characters after their story was over. Although there was some racial language this is book quotes scripture and makes many references to God. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Christian novels and true love stories.

This book was very captivating and easy to read. I couldn't put it down because I wanted to find out what happened next and how everything worked out. While reading this book I learned what the secret language of flowers is and that every flower has a different meaning. This book is an adult romance novel but it is not very graphic but there are situations that are sort of erotic. I wold recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance novels and who enjoys learning more about flowers.

This book is full of deception and mystery. There's a back story to Katrina's past that comes out a little at a time and makes you wonder what truly happened. Its full of suspense and mystery and everything comes together at the end of the book and nothing is like it seems. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author. This is a romance novel so it has some language and description not suitable for younger readers. I would recommend this book to any mystery romance lover.

This book is only one of the books in the trilogy and was very fun to read. This book took a different spin on werewolves or lycans. I cant wait to read the rest of the trilogy since this book was so captivating and interesting. This book is a romance novel and contains some explicit descriptions and language. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mythical stories.

I thought that this was going to be a love story with a plot in the background. It was quite the opposite, the murder plot is what drives the characters with a love story going on throughout the events. It was a good read and I did enjoy the suspense during the book. When I was reading this book I did not realize that it is the fourth in the series but I would highly recommend this book to any mystery lover. This book is an adult romance novel so there is some graphic description in some parts of the novel.

This book takes place when pirates still roamed the seas, and it contains many notorious pirates such as Black Beard. This was a sweet book about love and how far some are willing to go to ensure that their loves never pass on. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who has a love for pirates and immortality. This is an adult romance novel so there are some explicit words and details, but it is tame compared to some novels.

This book was well written and fun to read. The author jumped from one characters point of view to another so there were several plots going on at the same time.  Although there are some parts in the book that made me blush it was still well worth the read. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves historical romance. This book is an adult romance novel so there is some explicit language and descriptions.

So when the opportunity arose to let her go into the arms of the enemy she jumped on her chance. Guy was assigned to decipher missives from the enemy French, but when he is sent to France to rescue the Raven from a prison torture he finds someone who he did not expect. Now back from France Cora must heal from the torture she endured while locked in Valerie's dungeon all the while trying to evade him. Guy and Cora must learn to let go of all the hurt and hopefully come together.

This book was completely different than what I'm used to reading. It takes place in the time of Napoleon's first reign in England and in France. There was a lot of very gruesome descriptions since one of the characters was tortured near to death multiple times, and there was also some sexual descriptions since this is also a romance novel. The author did a wonderful job keeping the plot interesting and before I knew it I was on the last page. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good action packed romance book.

This book was very fun to read and experience. It had me laughing at the antics of the characters and wondering when everything would come to light. The author did a wonderful job keeping me captivated and I couldn't put the book down. It was very tame for a romance novel though which was in a way refreshing. There wasn't a lot of bawdy language or crude descriptions.

They both wanted their fathers attention but neither of them could get it once Jack showed up.

This story is about secrets, lies, and deception that all come out pieces at a time. This was a fun mystery and I had fun trying to guess what the out come would be only to be surprised at the turn of events. This is an adult romance novel but the descriptions are not as intense as other novels. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery books and who enjoy trying to solve the mystery as you read.

I was glad that I received these books together so that I could continue reading and find out what happens next. I'm sure that there must be another book and I cant wait to read it.

This is a mythology book and the characters represents ancient Greek gods. This book put a new light on an old myth that was both refreshing and enjoyable. I was a bit confused during the first part of the book until I realized that this is the second book in the trilogy, but that did not keep me from enjoying the story and trying to find the third book. I enjoyed the plot and the ending will have you wishing that you had access to the third. Although this is a young adult book, I feel that anyone who likes Greek Mythology would enjoy reading this book.

The Price of Innocence by Susan Sizemore

Sherrie Hamilton has always loved adventure and travel. It has been nine years since she made a pirates bargain and she can still remember every detail clearly, and his face still haunts her nightmares and dreams. Now in London for her cousins to find rich husbands Sherrie sees the man who completely stole her heart. Jack PenMartyn is haunted by what he forced a beautiful woman to do nine years ago. He lives with regret and self loathing, but when he sees her again, all the passion he thought he had buried comes back to life. While Sherrie and Jack are finding themselves again an evil force is trying to rip them apart.

The Price of Innocence was a  wonderful read. Instead of describing what happened nine years ago in the first part of the book, you read flash backs throughout the novel. It was well written and well worth the read. I was impressed with the secrecy of who the villain was and how everything came together at the end of the novel. This is an adult romance novel so there is some graphic descriptions. It also has some fighting scenes that is somewhat depicted.

I would recommend this book to any adventure loving reader.

So when her parents decide that Theodore will start courting Charlotte, she comes up with a plan to ensure that Susanna and Teddy live happily ever after.

This story takes place after the Civil War in New York. It was written like reading letters back and forth between two lovers with occasional dialouge. Although it was a very short story it is some what like a new Cinderella story. There is deciet, lies, love, and heartache. It was well written and full of emotion and very sweet to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who would enjoy a short sweet love story.

Colin cant believe his ears when Minerva propositions him, but it may be his only way to get out of Spinster Cove before he goes insane. Now on their way to Scotland they have one misadventure after another.

A Week to be Wicked is the second book in the Spindle Cove series and was very well written. I enjoyed exploring the pages of this book and was more than a little disappointed when the book was over.This book is set in old England when there was the war with Napoleon, and it does make some references to it.  It is both humorous and will have you laughing but it is also heart wrenching and will have you feeling for the characters. I have read many books by Tessa Dare and this one did not disappoint.This is an adult romance novel so I would only recommend it to older readers since their is some very explicit descriptions.

Now she has her dream job as a lawyer protecting women, a wonderful daughter Maiya, and an understanding husband River, but when Teal is stuck on a turnpike during an earthquake every hard kept secret struggles to come to light. After her half sister, Lacey, contacts her Teal decides to take Maiya to Cedar Pointe but while there the secret she tried so hard to keep hidden suddenly is very obvious to every one else. How can her marriage and her relationship survive all the skeletons that she has kept hidden in her closet?

This was a well written story on self healing and self discovery. The characters each go through some form of growth and insight, that affect the others. Although during the story I wanted to shake Teal and talk some sense into her, it was very gripping, and the ending was well worth it. This book has wonderful insight on how God can work in anyone's life through any situation. I would recommend this book to any woman who's had a hard time dealing with past hurt or who is dealing with a marriage on the rocks.

Dot is the town gossip, and she believes that her husband is cheating on her but is unsure of how to find the proof she needs. Bill has been married to the women of his dreams for over fifty years but when the Lord calls her home Bill has trouble living without her. Susie is strapped for cash and is having troubles with her wayward son. Matt is unhappy with the way his life turned out and finds his purpose in a truck stop waitress. Frankie saw her brother and father murder, and is afraid of losing her brothers memory but she must move on. These ragtag group of people must go on a search for a new pastor for their church. But can they get past their own baggage to help out when there s a need?

The Search Committee is about letting go of past baggage. Every character has something different either in their past or present, that is hindering them from moving on with their future. It shows how not only is God with you through the hard times, he is also there to help you heal. There are short sermons throughout the book and the last sermon had the most impact. This book was excellent and I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a quiet reminder of how God works in peoples lives.

Bittersweet Surrender by Diann Hunt

Carly has been through a lot in her life. She has been through breast cancer treatments, her husband left her for a younger woman, her best friend died, and shortly after her father died. Now her chocolate spa business is floundering and an old crush is moving back to town, while buried secrets start popping up in unexpected ways. Carly and Scott have been friends for along time, but when things between them heat up can they move past all the hurts and betrayals done to them to have a life together?

This book shows you that no matter what life has thrown your way God can help you get through it. Full of secrets and suppressed feelings this book will have you wondering what can possibly go wrong next. This novel does use references to God but it does not preach at you which is nice and refreshing, a book anyone can enjoy. I enjoyed this book and would refer it to anyone who enjoys tame love stories.
