Review of THE INDIAN ROSE (Paperback)

A beautiful love story well worth reading. Particularly loved the time travel aspect of how someome from the past could possibly deal with some of our modern conveniences, like TV and cars. And then the twist of someone from today ending up in the past. Nice touch that Jessica just won't accept it until she's really faced with it. Totally lovable hero and very realistic, modern day heroine.

Review of Dark Music (Paperback)

Janis Susan May's murder mystery Dark Music may start a tad slow, but it quickly builds up the pace and the intensity. Elizabeth McAllister, an author of romance novels, is contracted to make a public appearance for fans. The convention is in Canada and rather than endure a flight with the other authors from the same publishing company, she insists on driving alone to the convention. She'd rather not attend the whole thing in the first place but duty says she must do her part along with her fellow authors, the group that has been dubbed the Fab Four.

Before the official start of the convention Canada experiences a late season blizzard. Due to the raging weather no on can get to and from the hotel. When a person from her past is also stuck in the hotel, Elizabeth is forced to reveal a secret she has kept hidden from the others.As she struggles to deal with her own past, a fellow best selling author is murdered in the hotel.Elizabeth is trying to figure out why the author was killed when another one is found murdered. Now only able to trust herself, Elizabeth is in fear for her own safety. The Fab Four are quickly getting killed, picked off one at a time. Trapped by the blizzard with the killer, Elizabeth knows she is being targeted, likely the next victim. There are several suspects who seem to fit each murder, so the identity of the true killer is cleverly hidden until the very end.
Dark Music is a very suspenseful murder mystery which, when it picked up the flow, went full steam ahead.And the interaction between Elizabeth and the man from her past adds romance as a second source of tension to the plot. . The cold of the weather can not dampen the rising heat between them. Dark Music is a good choice for summer reading for fans of both light romance and suspenseful mysteries.
