BOOK REVIEW: The Trapper

THE TRAPPER by Jenna Kernan encourages my future pleasure reading. Her Trail Blazers Western Historical series is exactly what I love. Pioneers making their way through tough territories, trying to dodge the rough characters intent on their failure. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? I read Turner’s Woman in October 2020 for last year’s…

BOOK REVIEW: Where the Lost Wander

WHERE THE LOST WANDER by Amy Harmon conveys the pioneer spirit in an engaging story I enjoyed immensely. The caliber of the storytelling held me captive, and this author continues to intrigue. An engaging recommended read! I read this book last October (2020) when our home was in the middle of a major remodel due…

Book Review: Wyoming Wildcat

WYOMING WILDCAT by Elizabeth Lane features a fun twist on enemies-to-lovers, amnesia, and western captive themes. I enjoy all these themes in historical romance, but the captive theme often gets a bad rap because it’s usually the Native Americans who look like the bad guys. This is not the case with this book, which made…

REVIEW: Westering Women

WESTERING WOMEN by Sandra Dallas gives fans of pioneer stories many of the details we love, but lacks the emotion I crave. I was torn throughout the novel between loving that it was the unusual story I wanted, but without the passion I craved. I love a wagon train story, especially one that’s mostly women….

REVIEW: Bound for Glory – Recommended!

BOUND FOR GLORY by Tess LeSue met all my expectations and surpassed them beyond what I could imagine. It was hard for me to envision Deathrider’s story, even though I’ve craved it since reading the first book where he appeared. I knew it would take a tough woman to out-fox and out-talk him. Ava Archer…

The Valentine’s Curse by Jodi Thomas lures two outcasts to each other in this heartfelt historical western novella. An easy short story that will whet your appetite for more by this talented author. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? I don’t buy many shorts anymore, so this month’s challenge was challenging – trying to…

REVIEW: My Steadfast Heart by Jo Goodman

MY STEADFAST HEART by Jo Goodman brings back memories of my favorite historical romance books of the 80s/90s, without too much of the “bodice ripper” attitudes that would seem overbearing to romance readers today. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? Jo Goodman is one of my favorite historical western romance writers. I was curious…

REVIEW: Wolf Creek Widow by Penny Richards

WOLF CREEK WIDOW by Penny Richards is an uplifting, beautiful book about recovery from abuse with a ray of hope. I’m so glad I chose it for this month’s TBR challenge of our favorite tropes. I’m not normally attracted to romances by most requested tropes, but I do love a good settlers story where pioneers…

REVIEW: First Dawn by Judith McCoy Miller

FIRST DAWN by Judith McCoy Miller illuminates a lesser known piece of history in an engaging tale during the Reconstruction Period after the American Civil War. I love it when I learn something from historical fiction. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? American pioneer history is a favorite theme of mine in romantic…

WILD MONTANA SKY by Debra Holland is a sweet western historical romance that features likable characters in a challenging situation. I included more photos from our western vacation because I love dreaming about Montana. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? When faced with choosing sweet or spicy for this month’s challenge, I had gobs…
