New French Edition--Coeurs au large

Image
My newest French edition, Coeurs au large ( Castaway Dreams [High Seas #2]) is now available for pre-order from J'ai Lu pour elle . I have so much love for this beautiful cover! It captures the spirit of my romance about three castaways on a desert island, two free spirits and one curmudgeon. No, Pompom isn't the hero...or maybe he is...but this adorable doggy on the cover dancing with Daphne is exactly what I envisioned when I wrote this book. Coeurs au large will be on sale 3 November, but you can purchase the first book in the "Tourmentes" series, A la merci du corsaire ( Sea Change [High Seas #1)] and the English editions are available in ebook and print from all the usual vendors. Merci beaucoup !

A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America's Hurricanes by Eric Jay Dolin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I would recommend this book to everyone in the US who's living in an area that could be impacted by a hurricane, which would be all of the East Coast, the Gulf Coast and inland areas in the path of storms. Which is to say, most of the eastern and southern US. I've been through my share of hurricanes, lived on the Florida coast and now inland Florida. I take these storms seriously...and they're only getting worse. Eric Jay Dolin has written a fast paced, readable, informative book that explains why these storms are predictable...to a degree...and why we can't rely on those predictions 100% of the time to assume we're out of harm's way.

Review: The Duke Who Didn't

The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Delightful romance involving childhood friends, hidden identities, loving families, and one of the best "Black Moment" scenes I've ever run across. "Posh Jim" is the half-Chinese duke who hides his identity so he can spend time in Wedgeford, the village where he's accepted by the assorted residents who don't fit in with typical British communities. But the villagers don't realize "Jim" is the duke who owns the property they're squatting on, and he wants to put off the day of reckoning as long as he can. Chloe is a loving daughter who wants her beloved father's umami "secret sauce" to succeed and sweep the marketplace, shaking up the bland cuisine. She has lists and check-marks and the man she's loved since she was a little girl is only a distraction, especially when he asks her to make a list to help him find the perf...
