Love at War: A Love Story

By Lynelle Clark

    This is an unforgettable story of seeing love in the most unexpected places. It is a story about abduction, rape, abuse, reproductive rights and much more. It is not a book for sensitive readers. But it is a story that will haunt the reader for a very long time.

    Sonia had a very hard life. She suffered some horrific ordeals. She was…

   Requiem is Peter Fuller’s second book in the Solar Warden series. It is a wonderfully written book that is richly descriptive with skillfully drawn settings and characters.

   This is a wonderful story about a dysfunctional family that tries to cope with life’s ups and downs in its own way. There is sadness, turmoil, and anxiety throughout the pages of this book. But there is also the hope and resilience to overcome a lot of hardships in their midst through perseverance and hard work.

   The story is about John…

This is a supernatural story that has deep metaphysical underpinnings. Being a philosopher, I genuinely enjoyed the story because it was so different and brilliant in the way it was portrayed and written. The characters are multi-dimensional and deep, taking the reader on spellbinding escapades never envisaged until its almost too late. It’s a gripping read.

      As the story starts, the reader is transported into the summer of 1953 in America when Calvin Jefferson Coolidge…

      It is sad that child abuse is so prevalent by law enforcement people such as the police. We are taught from an early age to respect the Police because they are supposed to serve and protect. However, when this doesn’t happen, our psyches are fractured, and a loss of trust ensues.

      This book is a sad memoir of how a life can be hampered and destroyed by child molesters who should know better. Steve Mizera was physically and mentally abused as a child in an…

This is a wonderful contemporary comedy with a twist of romance and fantasy. I love the story on so many levels. It is also poignant in places as it sadly describes the political realm of the United States and its disastrous leadership now.

Not too many people are happy with the way the US is being led and how democratic systems that were…

   Tantamount is a historical fantasy. It is set in Britain during the sixth century. The story is captivating and endearing as well as poignant. It is a story that will stick with the reader long after it is read.

   Tolan Fising lives a very peaceful life. He has a wife as well as a son and daughter. They seem to live a very ordinary life, nestled in nature among animals and everything that is serene and wholesome. It is a life that I felt right in…

The title of the book caught my attention and intrigued me right away. It brought me back to my philosophical roots. I have spent most of my life pursuing the “what ifs of life”. And now I had the honour of reading a story that had the same theme.

The story starts in a pensive setting where peace and order exist even if it for a brief moment because it…

   This is another wonderful and engaging romantic suspense story by Tim Smith. It is a story that is gripping and tumultuous. It is a book that will engage you from the first word to the last.

     This is a great spy, political thriller. It is story that you will want to read until you get to the last page and last word. You will hang on every word and every plot twist. It is so intense it will make you want to read more even when…

This is a captivating and wonderful erotic romantic suspense story. It is a story that I couldn’t put down. The plot was quick, and the characters were as diverse as they were unique and authentic. I just love a story like that. And I especially love suspense stories that have an erotic and romantic tinge like this one.

     Sila Long creates a story of love, passion and intrigue through the jealousy that is interweaved into the story. Where there is love there always seems…

Read and Gone - Review by Martha A. Cheves

Jim sat down at the kitchen table while I made up a plate with slices of turkey and ham.  I also warmed up a huge piece of lasagna in the microwave.  He ate quickly and neatly as usual.  My father was a thief, but he believed in good clothes and good manners.  When he asked me to serve him…

All her life, her father reminded that she didn't know how to do anything competently.  He'd painfully flick her ear, or slap or kick her when he was frustrated.  He'd use a board if he had one in his hand.  He destroyed what little self-confidence she had and denied her any opportunities to prove her abilities.  In one way or another he'd convince himself he…
