About the author

I am an island girl, I love the ocean, sunlight and growing food and flowers.

Gardening, reading and eating fish are all consuming passions of mine.

I am a western history buff who resides in the majestic state of Colorado where I get to visit old forts, homes and various sites around the state, my kids hate it ;)

I love hearing from my readers, and please share what you are reading and loving at the same time. I am always in need of a good book. My favorite genres are romance both historical and contemporary, great fantasy and an awesome suspense every now and then. Any book written about Henry VIII always gets my attention but my favorite man must be King Arthur. Need I say more?

Stay safe and be well read.

This was just okay. I started off very confused with the way Jude talked to Amhara like a child. Then I realized she was very young, but then he had feelings for her but was trying to keep them away because of her age and the fact that his wife died. So I liked some of the things in the story. Now I had a problem with the police scene....I'm just saying don't want to spoil it but lets just say out of control.

Could have been better. A lot is left to be desired. The heroine was immature and childish. The things she does has me thinking "why would you do that?" everything time she does something immature.

Good Book

This was a good book.I really enjoyed it,although I do see what one of the reviews on goodreads was talking about.The police scene was super scary.But overall the book itself was really good,and really well written.There were some cringe worthy scenes.One of my pet peeves with any book is when the heroine begs the hero to be with her.I did feel like if she hadn't begged and pleaded so darn hard,he would have not come around.That's just me though.My mom always told me "don't chase boys,let boys chase you"lol.I saw some people didn't like the age difference but I was cool with that.This author did it really well,there was absolutely no creepy vibe at all.Overall this was a good book that I for sure would recommend.😀

You Will Shed A Tear Or Two

This book got me all in the feels! Amhara is the young nanny of Jude who works away from home. She has pined for the widower for the last two years, but he doesn't feel the same-well not quite anyway...

I loved this story and probably would've given it 5 stars if it were longer. Jude and Hara had a past encounter which was only briefly touched upon yet was the catalyst for the events in this story as they're told in real time. Hara is hopelessly in love with Jude and you feel her angst and her pain when he rejects her for someone he feels would be more suitable to his needs. Cast away like used goods, Hara makes a foolish decision that really could have destroyed everyone's lives.

Thankfully Jude realizes what a gem he has in Hara. I usually don't go for these post-pubescent nubiles and older men, but Hara possessed such a strength and maturity unlike many adult women, that her age wasn't even a factor. Good story, but again, wish it were longer.

This is my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last.

This is Amhara and Jude's story. The story is short, honest and intense as Jude tries to deny his feelings for Amhara and where this denial leads them. This book was on Kindle Unlimited and I will be reading the author's other stories too.

I really enjoyed this story. If you like short stories then this is a great one!!!

Good Good Story

This is short even paced story that does what it intends and that is to entertain.The characters have good chemistry and they sizzle when together,but you also get the feeling there should be more.I think the writer short changes herself.This is short sweet story that deserves five stars only I can't because you need a little more to take it over the top.

Ok

Love the premise of the story. For some reason, I have a problem with the age gap between the H and h. She's nine years younger than him if I'm not mistaken. Don't know why it bothers me but it does. It ends rather abruptly.

Sweet Heroine. The start of this story had me on the edge of my seat. Angst filled. Short read, more backstory needed.
