HaveYou Seen My Childhood?

Have You Seen My Childhood by Alessandrina Lerner is written with some of the strongest poetry I have read in a while. The emotions that she has shared from her child abuse had me on the verge of tears at times. Her poem “What it is to be Loved” moved me the most.

Although I felt that the poetry lost the standard rhythm that a critique would, at times, find it very difficult to plot the tempo, I enjoyed the book very much so.

A Father's Anguish

In A Father's Anguish by R. W. Doyen we have a father's story on how he handles the emotions that he had to face with his daughter’s rape.

I found this to be thrilling from about the middle of the story until the end. R. W. Doyen wrote this novel based on true events as he recalls them pertaining to his daughter’s rape. The emotions that Doyen puts to paper about the father's feelings and thoughts are very well written and are taken from his personal knowledge of what a parent feels during these kinds of trials and tribulations. I would recommend this story to anyone that wants to read a powerful thriller as a novel based on a true story.

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!

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!

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.
