![]() Not only was this a good romance, but I’ve been looking for some fun holiday books and this sure hit the mark with its Christmas theme. If anyone can change my luck around it’s her, and sure enough she did just that. I’ve been having some bad lucky lately when it comes to romances so I was very excited that a new Gerri Hill book was coming out. In the early morning-at that cusp of a new day-everything is possible."Ĥ.25 Stars. Because even things that we know are unattainable flutter within our grasp. Dawn is her favorite time of day, the moment right before sunrise. She collects things nature offers, like an unusual pinecone, colorful rocks, or an abandoned bird feather. Her favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, birdwatching (though she insists she doesn’t wear funny hats yet!), photography, and cooking. ![]() ![]() They share their lives with an ever-changing cast of furry friends. When she isn’t writing, Gerri and her longtime partner, Diane, can be found at their home in East Texas, where their vegetable garden, orchard, and five acres of woods keep them busy. Gerri’s love of nature and of being outdoors usually makes its way into her stories as her characters often find themselves in beautiful natural settings. Many more romances have followed, with the occasional murder mystery in the mix. Her first published work came in 2000 with One Summer Night. ![]() Gerri began writing lesbian romance as a way to amuse herself while snowed in one winter in the mountains of Colorado, and hasn’t looked back. ![]()

This is an amazing sci-fi thriller that will definitely keep you up all night reading. What a fun and exciting debut novel! i can't wait for everybody to get their hands on this ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

There’s also a side story in which Ransom is trying to figure out how his castle was sold without him knowing it. Ransom is mostly blind due to an incident regarding the woman he was supposed to marry. I love a plain heroine, and Izzy knows she’s not beautiful, but she’s funny and sweet, and of course she eventually brings Ransom (yes, the hero’s name is Ransom) around. The character is one that has a following of fans who dress up as people in the books…cosplayers, essentially. The main character is Izzy Goodnight, the inspiration for a character in the books her father wrote before he died. ![]() Though this was another B&tB story, it felt different and more whimsical. For a full synopsis, see this book’s Goodreads page. Who do I have to talk to about inheriting a castle? Seriously…I love that premise. Also, the first book kicks it off with the best trope ever.Ī woman inherits a castle already owned and inhabited by a gorgeous but grumpy recluse.

(Can you imagine if he had written this entirely in 16th-century English? Perish ye olde thought.) By mixing these styles, Mark Twain gives us both a feeling of authenticity and an ease of reading that might not have been possible otherwise. The first sentence is clear as day, and the second might require the use of an English-to-English dictionary just to get the meanings of the words. He smiteth with a heavy hand, yet spareth me: he spareth me not always with his tongue, though, sooth to say. And then we jump to old-timey sentences like this: "Fathers be alike, mayhap. So what does that look like? Well, sometimes we see plain, modern sentences like this: "When we saw him last, royalty was just beginning to have a bright side for him" (30.2). Twain mixes his modern, simple prose with the archaic diction of Henry VIII's day (pretty much the kind of language you see in Shakespeare's plays). So, did you believe they were reading a novel from the 16th century? If so, Mark Twain did a pretty good job, since he was born over 200 years after the events in this novel.
