I chose to read Between the Lines as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author, but that does not alter my review. American Sadie Reed is an editor and is sent from New York to Great Missenden, England, by her boss, Jess Harper, to help British author Corbyn […]

This story is an explanation as to why he was led down the wrong path, it is so easily done with the right temptation, and the severe consequences of his actions.

  Served Cold is the first book, made up of two novellas, in a new series from Terry Tyler on the subject of revenge. The series is certainly off to a good start with these stories too, and they are very different from each other. The first story is called The Steal and features Jodie […]
