Heart of Stone-- Book Review

Laura Foster , Free from the bondage of an unspeakable childhood, has struggled to make a new life for herself. Now the owner of an elegant boardinghouse in Glory, Texas, she is known as a wealthy , respectable  widow. But laura never forgets that she is always just one step ahead of her past.

When Reverend Brand McCormick comes calling , Laura does all that she can to discourage him as a suitor. She knows that if her past were discovered, Brand's reputation would be ruined. But it's not only Laura's past that threatens to bring Brand down--its his own. ( Back of the book)

This is my first time reading this author and this book comes out in March 2010.


Laura- used to live in New Orleans ,used to be a  lady of the night in 1853
Brand- preacher


Laura now owns a B & B in Texas. She is searching for her sisters and not looking for a romance at all. She is doesn't like talking about her past at all. Brand has lost a wife and has 2 kids.

This book talks about Love, Redemption, forgiveness, prayer, choices , and anger.

This book is good enough to pass along to friends . I do think the 2nd novel with about Laura other sisters and what has happened to them and their stories since this is a Irish Angel Series. I think that this is a good series for christian readers of stories of hope. I do want to see what has happened with the sisters.

Jekel Loves Hyde-- Book Review

Jill Jekel has always obeyed her parent's rules--especially the about never opening the mysterious old box in her father's office.But when her dad is murdered and her college savings disappear, this good girl is tempted to peek inside, because the contents just might be key to winning a lucrative chemistry scholorship.


To better her odd, Jill enlist the help of gorgeoouse , brooding Tristen Hyde, who has his own dark secrets locked away.As the team of Jekel and Hyde, they recreate experiments based on the classic novel , hoping not only to win the prize but to save Tristan's sanity.( Back of the book)



This is my first time reading this young adult novel and after reading this book..I wanted to read her other book I had on hand. Jessica Guide to Dating the darkside..



Jill is smart and good girl and Tristen is english, bad boy..and they are both in Chemistry class. Most books seem to have science class has a meeting point ...but this book kept them both in lab and using Chemistry with Chemistry. I do like that it dealt with Jekyl/Hyde and many times it brought up the original book and I loved how it showed the Geneology of the families and notes from both sides of the families of Hyde/Jekel. Jill is an artist and Tristan plays the piano.



Tristan has some secrets that he is keeping from Jill. Jill wants to help him with his issues. I did love that Jill wanted to be a bad girl and wanted to be like Tristan.



Tristan at times wanted to embrace the bad side and do more than making out with Jill. I liked how the author made this to bad choice and something that should be when couples are engaged or married, but I also noticed with the characters it was something that they wanted to do.



I didn't like that Jill is like the parent at times..taking care of her mother, paying bills. Where as Tristan has a very over bearing Dad at times.



As a parent , I liked it and it would be something to discuss with my daughter.


Overall I liked the concept of this book and dealing with Jekel/Hyde. This is a cute young adult novel and it comes out in May 2010.
