Entering the Age of Elegance by Chloe Jon Paul

In Entering the Age of Elegance by Chloe Jon Paul you learn the ways a woman can gracefully enter the senior part of her life. Chloe Jon Paul looks at every aspect of a woman’s life and writes a very informative book. That being said it looks like the book was hurried to get out and some of the links to the referred websites did not work. I hope that Ms. Jon Paul can make these corrections because the book could be very helpful to a women “Entering the Age of Elegance”.

A Trust Earned by Diana Castilleja

“A Trust Earned” by Diana Castilleja is dedicated to every romantic thought that one could have.  Bram is an overworked doctor who is yearning for something different in his life. Enter one Selene Aiza who has an offer for Bram that he cannot refuse. Selene is a doctor/administer who has huge secrets that she hopes that she can share with Bram.  Can Bram handle the truth that comes with Selene. I loved the story from the first page. The chemistry between Selene and Bram is explosive from the very first page. This gifted writer will differently be another Danielle Steele if she continues to write with as much passion as Steele does. Temptations, secrets and romance abound in this novel. Diana Castilleja has a romantic side to her that every woman would love to have and to enjoin with their own relationships! 5 bookmarks Carol Langstroth, Manager/Reviewer Mind Fog Reviews

Sardinian Silver by A. Colin Wright

Sardinian Silver is a tale of love, life, and self-discovery. It explores the moral and social dilemmas that plague our society today. A. Colin Wright addresses these issues in an interesting way through the main character and his journey through Sardinia.

Although the story line is a bit slow at first, the pace is definitely picked up in the second half of the book. Wright's uncanny ability to “transport” his readers into the action by vividly describing the Sardinian countryside also make this book an interesting read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into a good romance novel.

The Thorn at his Side by Diana Flori

In Diana Flori’s “The Thorn at his Side” you will find romance at its finest. The sexual scenes are done very tastefully.  The romantic side of Ms. Flori shows you a vivid imagination as to what romance and love should be. She stays within the historical era as she writes this historical romance.  I found this to be titalating and action packed all the way to the end. The epilogue tells of a future that was prepared for during the romantic episodes unfolded within these pages. Unforetold writing excellence is in this novel and I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy a good, steamy love scene and romance on the high seas.  I would love to read another novel like this from Ms. Flori and I believe you would too! 4 Bookmarks Anastasia Cassella-Young Mind Fog Reviews

The Essence of Love by Alessandrina Lerner

“The Essence of Love” by Alessandrina Lerner is a book of poetry about the many different types of love she feels. The writer writes in such depth that it pulls you into her world and her thoughts on love.

Some of the poems blew my mind away as they are the same thoughts that I have for someone and the one poem, “Love ain’t…Love is” tells the truth about what love truly is.  I would highly recommend this book for anyone that loves poetry especially poetry about love.

Nacreous Verse by Sonja Smolec

“Nacreous Verse” by Sonja Smolec is a lovely tidbit of poetry.  Upon looking up the word “nacreous” it is discovered that it has a meaning entailed of “pearls of wisdom”.  This poetry book does have pearls of wisdom throughout it.  A critique of it would be hard to do in the sense of trying to find rythym and beat.  The author sometimes starts out with a great beat and then rushes wholeheartedly into verse that does not ryhme but has great meaning.  Starting with A B A B then following up with A C D E A F G H, etc.  Love and romance are the main theme of this book. 

Sonja Smolec uses some very large, intellectual words at times and uses footnotes to define them. I feel that a footnote is not appropriate in the theme of a poetry book but suggest perhaps that she should have used a glossary. 

All in all it is a read that you will find to be in depth, loaded with emotions and finally, it is thought provoking enough to make you read between the lines as such as poetry always does.  I would recommend this read to those that don’t expect a lot of prose and rhythm and beat as set forth by the standards of poetry.

Living the Dream by Tim Baker

In Tim Baker’s Living the Dream, Kurt thinks that a woman named Vicky is the cause of his entire problem so he hatches this plot to kidnap her and have her husband, Jimmy, pay the ransom. Except after he gets to Florida he finds his intended victim is away and that her husband wouldn’t pay the ransom as he wants to divorce her. Jimmy’s mistress, Leslie, wants a piece of Kurt’s action. Kurt never knew a simple kidnapping would be so much work.

This reviewer liked the ending of the book however the beginning and the middle were a little dry for me.  I loved the scenes with Kurt and Leslie where she would tell Kurt he didn’t know what he was doing. Over all it was a good book to read.
