Learning to Breathe by Karen White

Read by Jennifer

Brenna O'Brien is surrounded by four loving sisters and at 33 finds “her voice.”  Pierce McGovern, her former love, disappeared years ago, but when he comes back to town is fate at work?

Karen White does an amazing job telling a story about long lost loves with old, unopened letters providing a poignant piece of the puzzle. The story will make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time.  Truly a wonderful, inspiring story, it was almost impossible to put down.

                                     

Sojourn --Time Rovers Book 1 By Jana G Oliver 

Read by Joyce

1888 London -- Into the period when all  London is in an uproar about the heinous murders of prostitutes, Jacynda Lassiter, a Rover for TIC (Time Insertion Corporation) is sent to retrieve an AWOL tourist and return him to 2057.   There are secrets and mysteries aplenty for her to unravel, not the least involving the intense compassionate young doctor who shares her boarding house, a man whose description is uncannily similar to that of the killer.  She must keep her secret while facing the dangers and squalor of Victorian Whitechapel, and face the very real possibility of an encounter with Jack the Ripper himself.

Dr. Alistair Montrose does indeed have secrets, and being a shapeshifter is all the more likely to incriminate him and expose a society that must remain hidden.

This time-travel tale has twists and turns and mysteries enough to keep a reader intrigued to the end and ready for more.  Happily for me, there will be more, and I look forward to Book 2, Virtual Evil.



Deal With This by Lucy Monroe

Read by Loretta

Alan Hyatt's job has him working undercover as a reporter trying to get the info on espionage in the Vancouver movie industry.  Jillian Carlyle is an actress and his landlady who doesn't date her renters. 

An interesting beginning - and an even better ending, but the in-between pages left me asking too many questions.  Keeping up with the baggage which the two main characters brought to this relationship was a full time job!  The plot was excellent, but the sex manual included was a shock - to me, anyway (although others I told about it couldn't wait to read this book.  Obviously, personal preference).  So, begin reading and you will no choice but to finish.  A gratifying and provocative read - I did it!

Bottom Line:  Today is National Handwriting Day.  So, stop typing for 2 minutes, search for a pen and paper and send someone a personal note...in your own handwriting (if you still remember how).
