She’s not expecting to move in with a roommate named Persnickle, discover she is descended from an ancient coven of sea witches, or find herself in the middle of a town with no coffee, but that’s precisely what happens.

 

Miss W’s Review :

If you love a cozy paranormal story rich with diverse characters and well developed characters this box set is for you. Did I mention it is hilarious??? Goldie Bloom is a funny, smart and well rounded , considering she just found out she is a sea witch. She is learning the ropes with help some friends and her familiar Persnickle. If you are a coffee drinker, you will LAUGH out loud at the storyline related to coffee. 

The mysteries are great and there is a budding romance, but I am not a spoiler kind of girl. Trust me , you want to read this entire box set! Morgana Best is one of my favorite authors and she does not disappoint with this. This is so well written you will not want to put it down!

Audio Book Tour-The Unfinished Garden-Barbara Claypole White-Giveaway

audio book tour new dates.png

I just LOVE audiobooks you can listen anywhere anytime. I am thrilled to be partnering with Kate Rock Book Tours to bring you my stop on the Audio Book Tour for The Unfinished Garden by Barbara Claypole White.

About the Book:

A love story about grief, OCD, and dirt

Tilly Silverberg is rebuilding her life with her young son, Isaac, one potted-up plant at a time. Since her husband’s death, gardening has become her livelihood and her salvation. Hiding out in the North Carolina forest, she wants only to be left alone with Isaac and her greenhouse.

New to the area, successful software developer James Nealy needs a garden. On a solitary mission to reclaim his life from irrational obsessions and relentless compulsions, he has a plan: to conquer his greatest fear. Dirt. One glimpse—or two—of Tilly’s garden, and he knows she holds the key. But when he asks her to take him on as a client, she refuses.

After a family emergency pulls Tilly and Isaac back to her native England, she’s quietly happy, because nothing has changed in her childhood village. Or has it? Her first love is unexpectedly single, her mother is scheming, and her best friend is keeping secrets. Then James appears on her doorstep.

Tenuous at first, but gradually taking root, James and Tilly forge an unlikely bond. As they work together to rescue a garden choked by neglect, they unearth each other’s secrets, each other’s fears, each other’s hopes—and maybe, a shared second chance.

Miss W’s Review:

This is a beautifully written wonderful story that flawlessly handles OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) not only in a sensitive but also very informative approach.

This does not take away from the enjoyment of the story. The characters are strong, flawed and well fleshed out. The characters deal with real life issues in a way that many readers will relate to. 

This authors development of dialogue is real, engaging and at times humorous.

This story about love, loss and finding happiness earns 5 STARS from Miss W !

When We Left Cuba-Chanel Cleeton

I am excited to be on the amazing book blog tour for When We Left Cuba by the very talented Author Chanel Cleeton. I have a special giveaway for you today too!

unnamed.jpg

Book Summary:

In 1960s Florida, a young Cuban exile will risk her life–and heart–to take back her country in this exhilarating historical novel from the author of Next Year in Havana, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick.

Beautiful. Daring. Deadly. 

The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar heiress Beatriz Perez–her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro’s inner circle and pulled into the dangerous world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire to reclaim the life she lost. 

As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man driven by ambitions of his own. When the ever-changing tides of history threaten everything she has fought for, she must make a choice between her past and future–but the wrong move could cost Beatriz everything–not just the island she loves, but also the man who has stolen her heart…

Miss W Book REVIEW:

Review 5 Amazing Stars! When We Left Cuba is a fantastic Historical Fiction Novel that explores the very turbulent, uneasy time period of history in the 1960’s .

This novel has intrigue, politics, scandals, romance, and espionage with elements of a political thriller.

This novel is beautifully written with rich, multi-dimensional characters that create a complex story.
There are so many elements to this novel that had be turning pages.

When we Left Cuba is a follow up to the equally fantastic Next Year in Havana but stands as a stand alone novel. If I were you, I would read BOTH!

I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

2019 Already?

I cannot believe it is 2019 Already! How did everyone do with their reading goals? I know not everyone has them, but I find it to be a fun way to look back and see what I read. In 2018, I read 157 books, not too shabby. I have a goal of 200 for 2019.

Instead of highlighting books I read in 2018, I am choosing to highlight some new to me authors. So today I wanted to talk about a new to me author, Cathy Lamb. 

I feel like I must of been hiding under a rock to have not found her writing before this year. I read her newest book, The Man She Married and I was blown away! 5 glorious amazing stars!

Read my review of the Man She Married on  Goodreads . Did you know today you can grab this amazing book on Amazon for only $2.99? That is a steal! 

This was the first book I read of Cathy Lamb’s and I have gone on to read two more of her books in 2018 that were equally as fabulous! Check out her website to learn more about Cathy Lamb. 

Comment and let me know what your reading and if you have found any great new to you authors in 2018! 

Until the next chapter,

Wilfrieda
