Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds Helen Stoddart is a singer who has caught a gentleman’s attention. Gabriel Venier has come to listen to opera at a Venetian café. He also comes to the aid of a damsel in distress. The heat is combustible between the two of them. If my book was a paperback, the pages [...]
Reviewed by Karin I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the era of the Vietnam War. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. It’s a toss up whether it is a memoir or a memoir-cum-novel with a lot of poetic license. Either way it was a [...]

I am very mixed about this book. In some ways I really like it and would give it a 4 Star rating (world-building, mystery development). In other ways I would give this novel 2 Stars (sex) and say no more. Let me explain: If you’re looking for a new paranormal series that involves romance and [...]
