By Love Or By Sea

My sister-in-law lent me some books and I had time to read one last night. It is called "By Love Or By Sea" by Rachel Rager. It is about a young woman named Alice. When she was a young girl she fell in love with a boy and then later he was lost and sea and everyone presumed he had died. Fast forward to the present where she is dating a young man named Clarence Hielott who intends to marry Alice. Then a young sailor walks into town one day and is hauntingly familiar to Alice. He remind her of the young boy Caleb, she was once in love with. She later learns that he is indeed the young boy she once loved. Now Alice finds herself falling for him again and must choose which path her life will take. I absolutely loved this book!!! I couldn't put it down! I stayed up until I finished it. It keeps you guessing as to what will happen next and if Alice will end up with the true love of her heart. Rachel Rager weaves a tale of love, heartache, and understanding in this b

The Twilight Saga

I must recommend the Twilight Saga to anyone and everyone. I read these books about two years ago and I absolutely love them! I have read them over and over again and they get better with every read. For those of you who are skeptical, know this! I too was skeptical. I too thought that a book about vampires was not going to be good. But I was completely wrong. These books will transport you into another world where you can't stop turning the pages to find out what will happen next. Take a trip into the cold rainy forests of Forks, Washington, and you too will become a fan of vampires!

Dawn's Early Light

Dawn's Early Light is book three is Laurie Lewis' Free Men and Dreamer's series. It is set during the War of 1812 and is a historical fiction novel. I have not read the prior two books in the series, but I understood what was going on and the list of characters in the beginning was helpful to understand who was who. This book makes a fine stand alone, but now that I have read it, I want to read the other two books. A brief bit about the book: Dawn's Early Light focuses primarly on a "family" who live in Maryland on a plantation called The Willows. I say "family" because although there is a married couple who live there, there are also many others who are family to them but are not blood related. The entire story revolves around this couple and their "family" at The Willows. Jed Pearson is the owner of the plantation and is a lieutenant in the Maryland militia. Hannah Pearson is Jed's bride and was once engaged to Jed's rival. Franni

Daydreams

I just finished reading Daydreams, by Marcia Lynn McClure last week. I am a big fan of hers and was excited to get my hands on another of her books. A bit about the book: "Saylor Christy knew chances were slim to none that any of her silly little daydreams would ever actually come true-especially involving Mr. Booker, the new patient-the handsome, older patient convalescing in her grandfather's rehabilitation center. Yet, working as a candy striper at Rawlings Rehab, Saylor couldn't help but dream of belonging to Mr. Booker-and Mr. Booker stole her heart-perhaps unitentionally-but with very little eeffort. Gorgeous, older, andentirely unobtainable-Saylor knew Mr. Booker would unknowingly enslave her heart for many years to come-for daydreams were nothing more than a cruel joke inflicted by life. All dreams-daydreams or otherwise-never came true. Did they?" Daydreams was not what I expected at all. I thought it would be a whirwind romance with Saylor and Mr. Boo
