Review of Pinch of Commitment




Pinch of Commitment

 

JEAN ORAM

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

This Ethan and Lily novel is a typical boy next door best friend story of them growing up. Each character has hard luck becoming an adult story to tell within the main one. Finally, they come together as adults into a contract.

To save headaches and money, they marry. Lily gets Ethan's restaurants, Ethan gets to do what he wants in high tech. Both their pasts collide and haunt them in a tangled web of love and greed.

This book stands alone if you have read the first in the series. Well-written, the story seems to make sense but is highly unlikely generally in our society today.

A little bit of romance goes a long way as a deceiver in Ms. Oram's series.

Review of DEFENDING INNOCENCE

 



DEFENDING INNOCENCE

Small Town Lawyer - Book One

 

PETER KIRKLAND

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

This courtroom drama has a good storyline that kept me turning the pages. Mr. Kirkland's main characters will hold up in a series.

The pace was quick and to the point, with a thrilling ending that I did not expect. Leland Munroe is a lawyer on a shoestring budget who takes a case because of his relationship with his young client's mother.

While waiting for the trial to begin, Leland and his investigator Terri ruffle a few feathers in the small town. But, what they uncover will turn their murder case around in a deadly way.

The story is exciting and well written. Defending Innocence is an excellent book-one leading into a series.

Review of The Haunting of Hattie Hasting


 

The Haunting of Hattie Hastings

 

AUDREY DAVIS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

If you believe in ghosts and life after death or don't, you will enjoy this story of Hattie and her dead husband, Gary. As friends call her, Hats gives a hilarious account of Gary popping in and out of her earth's work-a-day life.

Gary is sent to earth to resolve some problems but is unclear about what they are. Cat, 'Hats and Gary's' friend, gets the privilege of seeing and hearing the ghost of Gary, also.

You may or may not get the drift, but this is a relationship theme novel. Of course, as a reader, you will want to get to the end with all intriguing associations tied up in a pretty package. But in this tale, they are all not.

This haunting is not horrific but a pleasantly written, fun journey about a ghostly interloper. I am delighted to have found this book.

It's a good read. Purchase: https://amzn.to/3rOETVT

Review of A RECIPE FOR LOVE

 



NICOLA YEAGER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

DELICIOUS is a word to describe A RECIPE FOR LOVE. This novel set off endorphins in my mind when reading about the Christmas menu prepared at Carol's Bistro.

 Ms. Yeager is either a French Chef or has done excellent research in writing this fun novel. According to their accountant, Carol and her partner, Roksana, own a Bistro in London that needs an uplift.

But it's Christmas time, which for Carol is a time for a lover's depression moment. So, she cooks dinner for her mother to explain the situation and then listens to her reply - In this case, 'mother knows best.'

Carol gives into a Christmas affair with Roksana and their staff. The games begin with the Bistro, menu, and all. The transition is hilarious to read about, and if you are a foodie – DELICIOUS.
