  Looking for an historical romance ? Prefer novels set in the 1920's era ? Review: Grave Consequences -Book #2 Grand Tour Series - Lisa T. Bergen - March 2013 Have you ever picked up a book due to it's cover and thought hmm that this would be a good read and then as you crack it open , you start to realise that in fact the cover itself was misleading and that you have no idea what you have stumbled into ? For me that book was Grave Consequences by Lisa T. Bergen as looking at the cover and what I thought from a write-up on the book was that this book would feature ghosts from the past - here I am thinking that it would be more like Unbroken by Paula Morris and I get a novel like Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen. It seems that with the rage of The Great Gatsby film being released - that everything 1920's ish era is the in thing and Grave Consequences is no different as it takes us into the world of Cora Kensington and her newfound family as she dashes ...

    Looking for a new christian fiction read ? Do you love Lisa Wingate's books ? Get ready for her latest release and Book #3 in the Moses Lake Series ....   Review: Firefly Island - Book #3 Moses Lake Series - Lisa Wingate - February 2013 As a previous fan of Larkspur Bay , I decided when I saw the request for Firefly Island to give it a read but unfortunately for me I found the book to be a bit slow paced for my liking but then what I found Firefly Island to do is make up for the pace by introducing a great character cast and an intriguing plot line. Firefly Island takes us into the whirlwind romance and marriage of Mallory Hale and her husband Daniel Everson , when Dan's job takes Mallory and her step-son to the small town of Moses Lake in Texas.
