LOVING the LADIES' Man

LOVING the LADIES' Man

KRISTIN CANARY

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

LOVING has cute and fun dialog from a woman's point of view. Evie, who is an introvert, is put in competition with Connor, a ladies' man, for the same promotion.

Despite their differences, Evie and Connor maintain a professional relationship, mingling daily as they navigate their shared workplace. When those barriers break, and they become a couple, they find feelings for each other.

Those interactions are the center points of the novel. Romance is in the air until the day one will get the promotion.

Who will become the other's boss? You will have to read the book to find out. The ending will surprise the reader.

Ignorant Witch

AN IGNORANT WITCH

E.M. GRAHAM

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Despite not being the best in the genre, Graham's novel holds a special charm that will resonate with those who adore fairy tales.

Fairies are involved in the kidnap of a Normal, and Dara, a half-witch, is asked by a friend for help freeing her brother. A male half-witch gives Dara the courage to pursue his freedom.

The calamity that follows Dara's commitment is weird. She finds her powers, which leads to an acceptable conclusion for this Witch Story.

While the prose may be a bit rough around the edges, Graham's potential as a writer is evident in this first book of the series. If you are a fan of fairy stories, consider supporting this promising author by purchasing their book.

Black Readnecks & White Liberals

Black Rednecks & White Liberals

THOMAS SOWELL

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Sowell's Historical thesis on slavery brings to light many facets of how humans treat each other. The reader will get a learning experience from his narrative as to how the British and America's unique developments eliminated most of the world’s enslavement.

He explains human worth and non-worth in terms of how many countries used slavery for gain or as accessories. These norms were commonplace for centuries before arriving in North America/USA, which was the only country in the world to fight a war over it, killing more white people than the negros in the country.

Thomas Sowell's intelligent discourse will keep the reader turning pages thinking,  'I didn't know that.' For Liberals, this is a wake-up call, but for Conservatives, this education needs to be used in conversations against Liberals’ reparation demands.

To round out his book, Sowell's opinion of other human relations is in discourses on Germans, Jews, and the middleman.

Murder and a Tequila Sunrise

Murder and a Tequila Sunrise

Sunrise Cafe Cozy Mystery

ELIZABETH CLOVER

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Clementine is a bartender, a commercial actor, a klutz, a terrible tequila sunrise maker, and in debt up to her eyeballs. With all these traits, she is the hero who solves murder.

But here is the twist. Despite her seemingly unrelated jobs and financial situation, Clementine has a unique skill that sets her apart- she knows people and what questions to ask them.

This mystery is confusing because of all the overdeveloped characters. What question will the reader have when trying to solve the murder? Who did it?

Yet, in the end, the reader will be rewarded for their efforts. This cozy mystery will entertain you and leave you with a sense of accomplishment as you get to know the characters for the second book in the series.

Accidental Princess

The Accidental Princess

Melissa McClone

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Christina is the daughter of a wealthy father who coerces her to attend a royal party in the middle of the Mediterranean. Prince Richard will be the king of that country if he marries the one who can fit in the royal engagement ring, part of a crazy country's historical mystic.

Neither person likes what they believe that the other person's moral and ethical qualities meet their needs. An event brought about by his Royal Aid put Richard and Christina on a quest to find the prince, the princess with the qualities he desires.

The calamities and amusing incidents that follow make for good reading. This novel, however, is not Hallmark movie grade but fills a Royal Romance lover's imagination.

Murder Calls in Shadow Falls

Murder Calls at Shadow Falls

Irene Jorgensen

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Olivia Twist returns home to Shadow Falls as her Grandmother GG says for REDEMPTION. Olivia is a thief but a nice one who somewhat repays her debt to society.

GG has a plan for redemption. However, it did not include the murder of someone Olivia knew in high school.

Assuming the role of a tea-reading British psychic so natives will not uncover her identity, Ms. Twist tries to clear her ex-best friend's name in a poisoning case. 

With twists and turns highlighted by detailed character development, Jorgensen's cozy mystery comes to an interesting end.

This first episode is well-written and is part of an Olivia Twist tea-reading crime series. GOOD READ.
