REVIEW: Can’t Buy Me Love by Janet Elizabeth Henderson

JayneB Reviews / Book Reviews / F ReviewsContemporary / hotelier / Scotland / security / Small-TownNo Comments

It turned out hell was a small town in the Scottish Highlands. Oh, sure, the locals called it Invertary, but Agnes Sinclair knew better—the town even had an old woman everyone called Satan. If that wasn’t a sign she was in hell, she didn’t know what was. All Agnes had ... more >

REVIEW: The Native Heath by Elizabeth Fair

JayneB+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Reads1950s / England / family relationships / Historical / Small-Town / Widowed Heroine9 Comments

Recommended Read

A widow, at an age when birthdays are best forgotten, with no children to occupy her mind, can be very lonely. Julia Dunstan knew she was more fortunate than most widows, not merely because she was prosperous—as widows go—but because she had always taken an interest in other people. And ... more >

Picture of a black woman with short dark hair with her arms around the neck of a taller white man with brown hair. He has his arms around her waist. They are both topless but the middle bit is a bit blurred and the book title in pink is there too so it's the suggestion of naked rather than anything explicit.
