One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

Thanks Shelia for carrying this forward from J. Kaye.

Got four reviews written but since I read that many books that didn't help me get ahead!

[Note re codes: YGR is You Gotta Read Reviews. MBS is this blog - Martha's BookShelf!]

Finished:

PB:  SEALed With a Ring by Mary Margaret Daughtridge.
This is a very good book - charming and fun!
She’s got it all…except the one thing she needs most  Smart, successful businesswoman JJ Caruthers has a year to land a husband or lose the empire she’s worked so hard to build. With time running out, romance is not an option, and a military husband who is always on the road begins to look like the perfect solution…
He’s a wounded hero with an agenda of his own  Even with the scars of battle, Navy SEAL medic Davy Graziano is gorgeous enough to land any woman he wants, and he’s never wanted to be tied down. Now Davy has ulterior motives for accepting JJ’s outrageous proposal of marriage, but he only has so long to figure out what JJ doesn’t want him to know…
Book supplied by Sourcebooks for review here at MBS.

Kindle2:  Girl Gone Nova by Pauline Baird Jones.

This is a WOW-WONDERFUL Sci-Fi, romance. The sequel to The Key.  I am amazed at the depth of the world created and how well the author kept track of all the details! 

***Don't miss the upcoming Giveaway, reviews and interview with Pauline Baird Jones.***

Doc--Delilah Oliver Clementyne’s—orders are simple: do the impossible and do it fast. A genius/bad ass, she does the impossible on a regular basis. But this time the impossible is complicated by an imminent war between the Earth expedition to the Garradian Galaxy and the Gadi, an encounter with some wife-hunting aliens, and not one but two bands of time travelers.

She could handle all that, but her biggest challenge—and the reason the impossible might be not possible this time—is that she’s fallen in love.

Wrong time, wrong man, wrong everything. So why does it feel so right?

Also Kindle2:

The Ghost Mirror by Jamieson Wolf.  This YA, witch fantasy flowed really well.  Hard to classify this as I didn't really think of it as horror even if there were some scary scenes.

 This is an eTreasures book read from my own TBR for review here at MBS.

"Like Alice stepping through the looking glass or Dorothy finding herself in Oz, 13-year-old Mave wakes up in a run-down sort of house at the end of Water Street. But where is Water Street? And where are all the people you'd expect to see during the day? And how did she get from her grandmother's attic to here? Surely she didn't really step through the ghost mirror?"

The Return by Jan Bowles. This is a very nice, sensual romance read!  
This book was supplied by the author for review here at MBS.

Whilst on assignment in Iraq, English TV presenter and journalist Robert Tremayne is captured by Islamic Jihadists and held hostage. His soul mate, Marielle, can barely come to terms with her loss but tries to move on with her life.
Two years later Robert is discovered alive. Marielle is overjoyed, but her life has changed beyond all recognition, and the man she loved is now very different. His time in Iraq has left him cold, emotionless and detached. There's much to tell, and each wants desperately to return to the way things once were.
With the past always there to come between them, will they be able to recapture their lost love? Will they ever be happy again?
