Theresa Ragan's Return of the Rose

In keeping with last week's time travel theme, I went with another time travel book this week. I chose Theresa Ragan's Return of the Rose. There is a little twist in this one, because the heroine had already traveled through time once, she just didn't know it.

Deborah Truscott's Out of Time.

I found this book through some of my Outlander pals, and it sounded like an interesting time travel romance. What history nerd doesn't like a good time travel romance, right? Imagine my surprise when I started reading only to find that part of the book is set in my hometown of Fredericksburg, VA, even more so when the main character's mother lives a "few miles up the Rapphannock" on what is probably the same road I grew up on. So, my review might be slightly biased from familiarity alone.

I very much enjoyed this book. It's a fresh look at recovering from loss with a bit of romance thrown in.

A Walk to Paradise Garden

The world goes mad in 1914. And in the chaos, on the blood-soaked fields of the Ypres Salient, young humanitarian John Armitage meets a British nurse, Evelyne Grenville, a lady with admirable courage and a secret. Could they possibly make a difference, offering solace at the Western Front? Will Evelyne's secret life bring calamity on them both?

Their ensuing philanthropic life course encounters joy, forgiveness, horrific tragedy and a special-needs boy who shows the way to recovery.

It's a ninety-year journey for the Armitages. It's a Walk to Paradise Garden.

I was lucky enough to beta read this book. It is well crafted, with interesting historical perspectives and a heart-warming theme.

Done. Here's a link. https://meredith-stoddard.squarespace...

Also, I didn't see a thread for historical fiction. Can that be added?

Do you mind if I invite others through my blog to join?

Neverending Beginnings
Mary Chris Escobar

This contemporary romance is Groundhog Day meets My Best Friend’s Wedding. Readers who like women’s fiction by Meg Cabot, Emily Giffin and Allison Winn Scotch will enjoy this romantic comedy.

Kate is alarmed to find out that her best friend Amy is getting married after dating for only six months. Her alarm turns to shock when she learns that the groom-to-be is Kate's old college ex. As the big day approaches, Kate's inability to hide her feelings is threatening to ruin her friendship with Amy.

Kate’s last minute, vodka-fueled wedding toast has her wishing she could turn back the clock and make things right. Imagine her surprise when she wakes up the next day and finds out she can.

Forced to relive one of the most painful weeks of her life, Kate slowly works to repair the damage she has done. In the process, she learns a lot about herself and the cynically charming best man, Ben.

I'm in. I read constantly, and frequently read indies. It's always a challenge to find god ones. Plus, I can always use some blog fodder. Goodlittlewitch kindly added my book already. I look forward to seeing what every one is reading.
