I’m linking up with Lone Star Book Blog Tours where we are featuring A Borrowed Dream by author Amanda Cabot, the just-released second installment in her Cimarron Creek historical romance trilogy. Amanda Cabot mixes a touch of humor and suspense in this lovely (non-preachy) inspirational fiction.

In A Borrowed Dream, protagonist Catherine Whitfield holds a major distrust of the local doctor, and Amanda’s guest post offers a deeper look into the “healing” practices at the time (which is…

Lone Star Book Blog Tour: Wickwythe Hall by Judithe Little
Why yes, it’s another book blog tour, and one my little historical-fiction-loving heart is a pitter-patter over: Wickwythe Hall, by Judithe Little. Set primarily in 1940 England as Hitler invades France, it presents a view of the war from the perspective of the moneyed – one I’m not as familiar with – as well as a bit of English military history that I was both unfamiliar with and left speechless by. Does that pique your interest? Read on for more (and check out the giveaway!)

Book Review: Christmas on the Coast
You’re probably thinking: “Hey, it’s January and Christmas is over. So what’s up with Christmas on the Coast?” Admittedly, I received this book when I was looking for Christmas stories to review and it slipped through the cracks. But honestly? I’m glad it did, because this book isn’t as much a Christmas story – it’s part of the setting, sure – as much as it is a wonderful work of historical fiction. This is a book to be read any time of year. Curious? Read on! Confession time: with the chaos of Christmas, I got behind on some of my reading and this book sadly was put by…
