Gospel Gospel

by Louis J. Bartolomeo

A very interesting look at the life of Jesus. Louis gives it a new prospective from the 21st century. Gaps are filled in the many forgotten years that you don't always hear about. A thick book that may take a while to read, but definitely worth the time and effort. I will refer back to it for many years!

Cabin Fever

by Kristie Leigh Maguire

Another great romance novel by Kristie! The adventure of Marcie Treyhourne. This gal just has a way of finding excitement, erotic adventures with a splash of romance, along with a little trouble along the way. Kristie makes the characters come to life. If things got any hotter while I was reading the eBook, my laptop would have melted.

If you love romance with an erotic flair to it, you need to read Cabin Fever along with Desert Heat. Although it may be snowing outside at your house this winter, you'll be burning up after these novels.

Thanks Kristie for another exciting read!

Myrna's book gives you an in-depth look on what to look for in a soul mate, how to find that person, and then countless stories of readings that she has done related to soul mates.

Whether you believe in palmistry or not, this book is a great read.

Millard Fillmore: Mon Amour

by John Blumenthal

After being damaged to the core by his high school sweetheart, Plato Fussell has given up on love. Between being rich and obsessive compulsive, Plato knows that finding someone that honestly loves him will be nearly impossible.

When love finds Mr. Fussell again, it is with another obsessive compulsive patient... whom he finds out just happens to be his psychiatrist soon to be ex-wife.

Once you add the health problems of his father, his mother's wild antics - this book will keep you giggling for hours.

As a nurse and romance author who worked with psychiatric patients for almost two years, it was not hard at all to picture this family and all their little quirks. I really connected with this book also in the fact the I graduated from High School the same year as Plato Fussell. I could imagine very vividly his High School years and what was going on at the time in the world.

Mr. Blumenthal does an excellent job in portraying these serious psychological problems into a book full of hilarious antics. One of the most interesting psychological romances that I have ever read!

Soul Sex: Tantra For Two

by Pala Copeland and Al Link

When I first decided to read this book the word, “Tantra” really scared me. I really was scared that this book would go against my religious beliefs, and into some out of body experience type of psychic literature, but decided to go ahead, take a chance, and read it. I am definitely glad that I took that chance!

This book will NOT take you into some psychic world, but into a world where you and your mate will connect like ever before. Only one world of caution, it might take you quite a while to read this book if you and your mate read it together. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years, and this book brought us more together not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. You will understand your mate on a very different level.

A definite read for any couple wanting to enrich their relationship on all levels.

Drowning Rapunzel

by Annette Gisby

Beth Gregory is a very simple yet complicated young woman; a simple commoner who struggles to get out on her own and make a living. Upon taking a secretarial position for an artist, her life drastically changes.

She has visions that involve murder and mystic, but what happens when the victim she sees is herself? Is she psychic or psycho? Can she stop the villain before she becomes the next victim?

This is one of the best romance mystery books that I have ever read! You won’t be disappointed in Ms. Gisby’s writing! As an author, I know the rule of "presenting the villain" early in the book, but never knew who it really was until the last pages! I read this on vacation, and made my husband set in the hot car in the middle of the desert for ten minutes so that I could finish reading it before taking my turn at driving!

Emails From The Edge

by Kristie Leigh Maguire

Margie Tovrea, writing as Kristie Leigh Maguire, takes us with her to the glorious and wonderful Land Of The Rising Sun. The minute she and her husband step off of that airplane, things begin to change. The language barrier hits them upside the head and just about knocks them over.

The journey with Kristie has you rolling on the floor (which makes you look kinda silly if you're in a doctor's office) as she traipses through store isles "reading pictures" and then as she trudges back up the mountain to her "home." Just when she thinks all hope is lost, along comes Sandy Davis (who writes as Adrianna Larson), a housewife from near Houston, Texas. The two friends email each other almost on a daily basis, and become a lifeline to the "real world" of the United States. Someone who actually speaks English!

This is one book that everyone needs to read if you or your spouse has a job which includes traveling in the good ole U.S.A. or abroad! A 5-star performance, except for that being a psychiatric nurse, I thought she could have gone TOTALLY insane!!!

LOVED IT, KRISTIE!!!
