Smashwords book reviews by Miss Mae

  • Jonquils in the Snow on Feb. 09, 2010
    star star star star star
    Within the pages of this short read, Ms. Brooks has captured many facets of real life: hope, hope betrayed, love, love stolen, pain, pain healed, grief, grief soothed by laughter and happiness. I loved how the wintry scene was a backdrop for broken hearts, and the hope of blooming jonquils a sign that the beginnings of spring brings newness and faith. An excellent story. Thank you, Ms. Brooks, for a job well done!
  • The Rescue on June 17, 2010
    star star star star star
    Ms Vickery excels at penning a riveting romance/suspense book, but now she can add SF to her growing list of expertly written genres. This was excellent, as at first you think this is the typical crash landing on an unknown, deserted planet, but as you read further, the question becomes -- just WHO is being rescued?
  • Angel's Requiem on Oct. 21, 2010

    I want to be right upfront: Cons: Head hopping, telling as opposed to showing, some punctuation flaws. Now for the pros: With this sticking so much to the telling side, and the very nature of the plot itself, I felt like I was reading the style reminiscent of the 1940's or '50's detective/gangster books. Totally unexpected. :) The story is incredibly intricate and you need to stay on your toes to follow it through. You're introduced to lots of characters and their backgrounds and you need to remember all of this as you follow them through the leads and clues. Also, just to make you aware: since the premise deals with warring mob families, there's quite a bit of violence. Still, if anyone watches any of the cop shows on TV, you're confronted with more than is in this book. Because of its nature and realism, the violence must be told. I so much want to give this book a five star rating because Ms. Kindle has penned what is, to me, an original story. How she keeps all the characters connected is amazing. And the answer of why it finally all meshes with the opening chapter of stealing a corpse is like icing on a cake. However, because of the minor flaws of those cons, I must give a 4.5.
  • A Confederate Yankee In Miss Annabelle's Court on Nov. 06, 2010

    I don't read much time travel, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. Let me just say, the danger was so imminent and I got so concerned for the hero, I sat here with toes curled, wondering if he would wind up with the heroine! Well, I'm not about to give anything away. :) Read this absorbing, tender --yet tense-- love story for yourself. Wonderful descriptions!
  • Dancing With Fate on April 24, 2011

    Beautifully written with highly visual scenes, you'll be transported to a world unlike any other. I urge everyone to read this story and learn the "fate" of a well-known character who you'll never imagine in any other way again!

    What an incredible tale! Such originality and creativity! I laughed and chuckled all the way through this as I munched on my corn flakes....er, hey, there's only half a box! Who's been eating my cereal????

    I've wanted to read this story for quite a long time, and now I have. It's excellent. Love the romance, the characters' past, the mystery of why Myah was forced to endure her "experiments". Ms. Rossano has an art of creating her descriptions to put you "there" in the setting. You felt the cold air that the jets hissed out when they wanted Myah to awaken, the dread of those awful needles about to plunge into her arms, the total confusion and disorientation of "why am I here?" My only nitpick, if I can call it that, is for the dialogue to feel more natural, the characters should speak often in contractions. To always read "I am going" or "you will be fine" is distracting and has the tendency of jerking you from the believability of the story. Overall, though, this story is a five-star winner, and well deserved!
  • A Decision of Trust on April 29, 2013
    star star star star star
    I love Ms. Brooks' stories. I love how real she makes the characters, the settings, the situations. In 'A Decision of Trust' we meet Amanda. Amanda is a widow from a marriage to a no-good cheating husband. Jake Tyler is the handsome lawyer that hires Amanda to work in his office. Jake is a widower, left to raise his seven-year-old son. Amanda needs to learn how to trust men, Jake has to learn how to love another woman other than his dead wife. One scene that I rooted for was when Amanda cleaned out her husband's clothes, took them to the garage's cement floor and beat them with a sledge hammer. Oooh, wouldn't you love for that to have been his head? LOL Then there was the senior secretary, Corinne. Jake tries to "explain" her nasty character is because she'd had a rough childhood. No, Corinne was nasty because Corinne wanted to be nasty. You want to scratch your head and think, "Jake, you're supposed to be a smart lawyer but you can't figure this devil-woman out?" Like me tell you, that was so like a man that I wanted to shake him! This is a beautifully written story of sweet romance with themes of forgiveness and acceptance. Trust your decision. Buy this book.
