Avid book reader, love most music, would love long walks on the beach if I didn't have to walk, love most animals, like most foods, have quirky sence of humor and checking out the possibiliy of becoming free lance proof reader - editor. Am Leo on the cusp of Virgo with most all the best and worst characteristics of both. All I need now is to lose about 150 lbs. :)
The Keeping
on Sep. 15, 2010
An exciting book. The author is adept at weaving verble pictures. This is an adults' book. Not recommended for underaged young people. No cursing but does contain erotica. I liked it more than I expected to. I'm going to read "The Mating" now. Sharon Mc Govern rsmquilts@aol.com
The Mating: The Original Law of the Lycans Story
on Sep. 16, 2010
Hello again Nicky Charles! Just finished "The Mating". Loved it. Like "The Keeping" it has lots of good stuff. These two books have shown a side to "lycans" that was unexpected for me. Nothing any more evil than human averice (spelling?). Am looking forward to more and more of your work. Soon I hope? R. Sharon Mc Govern rsmquilts@aol.com
A Highland Feast
on Sep. 22, 2010
I really liked this story. It has humour, heart and goes roumping thru the "Iles" that hie back to my own roots. I will never be able to visit there, but by way of this book have glimpsed something precious. Loved the food tour also. Wish I knew what some of the ingredients are.

I really liked this story. It has flavor, and romance. I hope to see more of the same genre from K.E. Rodgers. Sharon Mc Govern rsmquilts@aol.com
Chosen One
on Oct. 17, 2010
As a reader I was introducted to two main characters. Malcolm and Louis. I must say Mr Porrtello is an excellent story teller. Louis is the man every woman, every priest, every employer wishes for; and the big brother I longed for as an abused child. Malcolm reminds me of "The Imortals". No time will be wasted in becoming emersed in this novel and emersed I became. It is often hard for me to find a book that piques my interest and I loved this one.

On Broken Wings
on Oct. 18, 2010
Sigh....I just finished "On Broken Wings". Louis's body died but he left a legacy of strenth, courage, wisdom, skill and ...love. Much to my surprise, the story of the benefishiary (sp?) of his legacy, Christine Marie De'Allesandro, is as compelling as the telling of Louis's. The end is only the beginning of the 3rd book
of the "Rhelm of Essences". I can scarsely wait for it's completion. R. Sharon Mc Govern
A Second Chance
on Oct. 26, 2010
(no rating)
I have just finished reading "A Second Chance" and was surprised to discover the book had ended. Amy has lead quite a life and her little grand-son is just getting started. Surely there is more to come?
Amy is about the age of my maternal grand-mother and Ms Parkinson's books have been a great help to kind of get to know Grandmother Ewing. The Victorian age is so starkly different to the life of the average woman today. "A Second Chance" should be read by all woman of all ages to understand how fortunate we are these days. It will startle and astound the reader. Looking forward to further adventures of Amy, Sarah and Eddie.
Settling the Account (Promises to Keep: Book 3)

Disembodied Bones
on Nov. 26, 2010
This book is a wonderful mix of contemporary mystery, supernatural, romance and riddles. Enjoyable reading; a real page turner. Well worth reading. The cajun and creole people are warm, loving and tend to being mystical. In my personal experience they sometimes remind me of the "Roma" people. If you haven't read the previous novel "Veiled Eyes" you've missed a real jewel.
Veiled Eyes
on Nov. 26, 2010
Gosh! I found this to be a "page turner". It contains, mystery, romance, suspence and has a supernatural bent. If the cajun and creole cultures interest you, you will love this book. No time wasted reading this.
Bubba and the Dead Woman
on Nov. 27, 2010
"Holy crap! I mean carp"! Best dern book I have ever read bar none! I laughed most of the way through it. It is a rare author that can weave up a piece of readin' material so convoluted and liberly mixed with suspence, humor, mystery, romance and history! I have lived in the general area of the geographical settin' of the story for several years and truly appreciate the author's efforts to entertain her readers. Don't miss it! Sharon Mc Govern
The Way Home
on Dec. 16, 2010
I loved this book and expect to feel the same about anything this author writes. While there were a few typos, they did not detrack from the wonderful characters and story. "Old family" southern ladies are well represented as is the romance of the south. I laughed, sighed and cried. Ms Morgan keep up the exceptionally good work.
The Quick and the Unholy
on Dec. 17, 2010
Wow! That was a very intertaining read. Just didn't last long enough. I am partial to Native American spiritual and paranormal content. Looking forward to more.
The Chronicles of Gan: The Thorn
on Jan. 02, 2011
Not a lot of fancy words, but I loved this book. I am looking forward to Mr. Fraley's next novel.
The Sledgehammer Concerto
on Jan. 05, 2011
Awesome...So many things in this book caressed the strings of my self and called forth memories of my own. Evoked beliefs and experiences of my own. Mr. P...you never disappoint me. God bless and keep your pen in motion.
Silver Moon (Moon Trilogy Part III)
on Jan. 07, 2011
Excellent! As good as the first two books in the Moon Trilogy. But now CL is going to have to write a new series regarding "the litter". At least I certainly hope so.
Sea of Dreams
on Jan. 08, 2011
Wow! Holy Cow! Great gobs of goose greece! This is the best apocalyptic novel I have read in a long time! It just BEGS for a sequel. Don't miss it!
An Accidental Bond: Book 1 of The Engle
on Jan. 19, 2011
A fresh breeze in a stuffy room. Your book "An Accidental Bond" is refreshingly different and entertaining. Though you really should go back through and do some editing. I'm really looking forward to "An Inherent Bond".
Riders on the Rez
on Jan. 28, 2011
This may have been written for a child but I thouroughly enjoyed it myself. Only one thing wrong with it. It ended too soon. I eagerly look forward to more.
Sub-Prime (The Love In A Hopeless Place Collection)
on July 09, 2011
Gee. Just enough to get your attention. Would like to have been able to read more. Well written. A little strange; but then isn't the whole of humanity?
Rojuun

I just finished this book. I really appreciate Mr. Carroll's style of writing and the humor his works contain. I have just purchased the "Willden Trilogy" and am looking forward to "finishing" the adventure. rsmquilts@aol.com
