"We Came Here to Shine" by Susie Orman Schnall

The World's Fair. 1939. Two people collide from two different worlds.

This is a historical fiction book written very well. The characters are wonderful as is the scenery blooming before your eyes. See the wonders of what the first World's Fair was. See and smell the food. Enjoy the people as they walk in the gates and smile the whole time there.

This is a story about how two people came together. How being sent to the fair for two different reasons, they bond. It's about two women who find themselves at a turning point in their lives. They learn to speak up and be strong.

Pick up this book and take the ride of your life.

"The Summer Deal" by Jill Shalvis

What a fabulous book! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Jill's characters are truly amazing and I love the storyline. How creative she is with this book. Never know what's going to happen.

This is a story about family, friends, love and support. It's about being there for each other and leaning on each other when times are good and when times are bad. It's about the wonders of hope and the scares of hope.

Jill is now one of my favorite authors. I love her ability to bring different characters together. How she tells a story. I plan on reading several more of her books.

Thank you, Jjill!

I HIGHLY recommend this book. Easy and fun to read!

"On Ocean Boulevard" by Mary Alice Monroe

What a fun book to read! Well written. Beautiful location and well developed characters. This book will take you away to a part of the world where the ocean tides in and out, the sand is soft against feet as they walk along the beach, and where lives are changed for the better.

Love is the name of the game here.

Being responsible and enjoying every minute of it is what this book is.

I absolutely LOVE this book and highly recommend it. Pick up a copy!

"In the Lion's Den"

Barbara Taylor Bradford (an author who has written brilliant books since 1979)

What a delightful book! So well written and the characters are wonderful. As I turned the pages (figuratively speaking), I was swept away to a land on the other side of the ocean to a time more than 100 years ago.

This book is a page turner. A book you will enjoy and want to pick up again and again.

"A Week at the Shore"

by Barbara Delinsky

Quite well written, "A Week at the Shore" is about family and how difficult it can be. As a family, we are not always close to each and every member. Some individuals find it safer to move out-of-state after they have finished school. Other's stay behind to care for their aging parents.

This is a story about love of family, lost love and appreciation for what one has.

Wonderful characters. Beautiful scenery. A book to take you where you have not been. Pick up a copy. Enjoy!

"Credible Threat" by J.A. Jance

J.A. Jance has been one of my favorite author for years now. I have always enjoyed the Ali Reynolds series. This is no exception. "Credible Threat" is an easy-to-read book that keeps you on your toes. The characters are well described. The excitement is forever present. All the way to the end.

Pick up a copy and enjoy the read.
