A Most Precious Pearl by Piper Huguley


Published: September 8, 2015
Pages: 218
Publisher: Samhain
Diversity: AA
*I Received a Copy of This Book in Exchange for a Fair and Honest Review*

A Most Precious Pearl is a historical romance that takes place in the time period following WWI. It is the second book in the Migrations of the Heart series. A majority of the story takes place in a town named Winslow, which people who have read A Virtuous Ruby are familiar with. In fact, if you've read the series thus far you'll be familiar with not only the town, but also the Bledsoe Family and Paul Winslow, the founder of the town.  I highly recommend reading A Virtuous Ruby before starting A Most Precious Pearl. While it is possible to start out of order, there are many important events that take place in the first book. These events will deepen your understanding of what takes place in this story (Besides it's a darn good book!).

Just for Christmas Night by Lisa Marie Perry

Tonight I'm reviewing Just for Christmas Night by author Lisa Marie Perry. A couple of months back I reviewed Midnight Play, book #2 in the The Blue Dynasty Series by Lisa Marie Perry. Ms. Perry was a new-to-me author at the time and I really enjoyed Midnight Play quite a bit. My goal was to read book #1 in the series, but unfortunately my reading schedule never quite made it around to it. I've since had the opportunity to catch  Just for Christmas Night, the latest in the series, and it reminded me just how much I enjoyed reading this author's work. In fact, I enjoyed it even more than book #2!

Happiness in Jersey by Jacinta Howard

Happiness in Jersey is the opposite of wack. In fact, it's anti-wack! Okay, I'm gonna stop with the "wack" references for now (there are a few very cute scenes where this word comes up - I couldn't help myself!), and I'm going to get to my review. I want to say upfront that I hate YA books. Okay hate might be a tad strong, but they aren't my favorite. That said, I loved Happiness in Jersey! Loved it!

A Brother's Honor by Brenda Jackson

Have I said how much I love Brenda Jackson? Okay, well here goes - When it comes to authors who write fabulous and non-stereotyped African-American characters, I love Brenda Jackson. Why I adore this author can be found in the pages of the book A Brother's Honor, which is the first book in the The Grangers series. If you've read my review of A Man's Promise then you already know that I read this series out of sequence and started with book #2 first. I was so taken with that book that I immediately 1-clicked book number one which just happens to be A Brother's Honor. As you can guess I wasn't disappointed and if anything I think I may have liked this book a tiny bit better than A Man's Promise and that's saying something.

A Brother's Honor introduces the readers to the three Granger brothers who couldn't be more different. The brothers live in

A Man's Promise by Brenda Jackson

A Man's Promise is book no. 2 in the Grangers series by author Brenda Jackson. Before reading this book I hadn't yet read book #1. Let me tell you, I went and one-clicked it before
