REVIEW: Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

JaneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ Reviews16 Comments

Dear Ms. Phillips: Your strong contemporary voice is magical, only it isn’t always magical for me. As this book progressed, I wavered between really liking it and thinking it might be a keeper and beign irritated with the protagonists. The lack of full exploration of the real issues underlying motivating ... more >

REVIEW: When You Believe by Jessica Inclan

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ ReviewsMagic3 Comments

REVIEW: The Grail King by Joy Nash

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ ReviewsRoman-BritainComments Off on REVIEW: The Grail King by Joy Nash

Dear Ms. Nash, I keep trying your series set in Roman Britain because I love the time period. “Celtic Fire” had some problems for me and unfortunately so does “The Grail King.” Owein (the brother of the Celtic heroine in “Celtic Fire”) lives alone in the ruins of his village. ... more >
