The second review today is a romance set after the French Revolution. This is one of my favorite types of romance: a story so rich that the romance is a strong part of the tale but not what drives it.

Book Review: Queen Mother by Jeff Wheeler How have I never read Jeff Wheeler’s work before? I’m hooked! Queen Mother is artfully written. It pulled me in and kept me there until the very last page was turned. It left me wanting…

I've been "talked into" trying a cruise again. How could I resist when it's a May the 4th Be With You cruise with fellow Starcruisers?
