REVIEW: King & Queen of the Bowling Alley (King & Queen series Book 3) by Diane Michaels

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsContemporary / King and Queen series / Marriage-in-Trouble / novella / second chance at love2 Comments

REVIEW: Ellen the Harpist by Diane Michaels

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsAmerica / chick-lit / classical music / Contemporary / First-Person / musician / weddingsComments Off on REVIEW: Ellen the Harpist by Diane Michaels

Single. Inept at flirting. But at least she has talent and a sense of humor. The problem is, she’s often the punchline. Ellen Blum is pretty good at convincing herself she is an adult. Despite her difficulties, she’s proud of the cred she has earned serenading brides down the aisle ... more >
