There is unique and profoundly touching means in Stephanie Thornton’s portrayal of Alice Roosevelt and her love hate relationship with Eleonore Roosevelt.

Kate is back home to help herCalendar girl is my first book from Georgia Beers. It is a well written book. Simply emotional, romantic and encouraging. Kate is back home to help her mum while her dad getting weak with dementia. To help with financial situation her parents are struggling with because of her dad’s medical expenses. This is when she is being offered with a part-time job as an assistant. The offer is very strong and she accepts it because not only it is a very well paid, flexible job but it is also in the same direction as her college degree. What she is not excepting are the challenges and what I really liked was the face that she didn’t give and held her ground to achieve what she worked hard for. A work place romance between an aimable character and a workaholic! The ending however, was a bit rushed. That is the only thing that I wish was a bit less abrupt.

Lynn Bailey!! Have to admit, it was full of emotions. I loved how Merit and Eli was taking care of Ryan, and how he let go of the girl he loved, years ago when he was very young, just to let Merit follow her dreams The story switches between its main characters and you can imagine the situation from different point of view. Which is very exciting. This book is an easy read I was able to connect with the characters and really see myself in the story.

My One and Only Duke Quinn Wenthworth a banker waiting to be executed Is being acknowledged as a missing heir to a dukedom. As a favor when in prison My One and Only Duke Quinn Wenthworth a banker waiting to be executed Is being acknowledged as a missing heir to a dukedom. As a favor when in prison he offers marriage to Jane Winston the pregnant widow in order to help her with the support of her child. Not knowing what their future is going to be. A charming historical novel and as always Grace Burrowes astonished me with this book. Right when Quinn is being executed, because he couldn’t prove his innocence he was cut down and Jane future changes since she is now married to a duke! The gentle growing relationship between these two is very pleasant and yet the description is not over. This book is an astonishing initiation of Grace Burrowes’s new series and it is selected to be heroic. Grace is very detailed oriented, and she visualized the places she writes about very well. The plots are carefully twisted to fulfill an uplifting historical tale.

I first picked this book to review since the subject sounded very interesting, I had no idea it would be such a page turner. Robert Kerr is an engineer involved with the secret project of escape tunnels that were built under the Berlin wall during the Cold War. He meets his wife while working on this project in Berlin. Yet he is not able to share anything with his wife for years. so, the entire book is the story he shares with his wife about this project for the first time. I found the maps very interesting and honestly, I felt I am back in time and literary watching all this to happen. The first pages of this book share an Extract from a CIA Report titled: The Berlin Tunnel which made this book a lot more exciting. Roger did a great job presenting this book in a way that read more like a Novel. the whole book involves the engineer’s wife and her safety. the book is constantly switching back and forth from different
The book switches back and forth from different viewpoint of Robert and Anna, and how Anna got involved with the whole thing without knowing anything about the Tunnel until many years after. The Berlin Tunnel: A Cold War Thriller My thanks to the author for gifting me a Kindle copy of the book. ...more
