12 Days At Bleakly Manor Book Review

12 Days at Bleakly Manor

          “I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.”  Even though this was not my usual type of reading material the title caught my eye and sounded quite mysterious!  “12 Days at Bleakly Manor” was just that mysterious!

An unusual mystery where the characters are required to stay in a mysterious cold manor, a mysterious lion head with eyes that are watching you, and the person who is able to stay all 12 days ends up with a reward they are wanting.  Each character has their own hopes for their rewards.

Not only a story of mystery but of love, romance, danger, and patience.  It was fun to see which character would last until the 12^th day and receive their reward!  Better yet it would be so much fun to read each day during Christmastide which begins Christmas Eve and ends January 5^th and extend the suspense for those 12 long days!  

          

My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss, Texas book review

My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss Texas

By

Erica Vetsch

    I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.  However, I enjoyed the book very much so I decided to post a review.

    Priscilla heads to a military post in Fort Bliss, Texas to gain custody of her brother’s twins after both parents die unexpectedly.  Upon reaching Texas Priscilla finds out the twins are staying with their uncle, Major Ryder their mother’s brother, who is a doctor/surgeon in the army.  Priscilla’s plan is to take the twins back east to live with her, but Major Ryder plans to keep the twins with him in Fort Bliss, Texas as was the wishes of the twins’ parents.

    Since Priscilla was raised by her parents in a military setting and her father being killed while being in the military she hates anything having to do with the military.  Her memories of military life were unpleasant and Priscilla insists on taking the twins back east to be raised. 

     Major Ryder, however, is attached to the twins and insists on raising them according to their parent’s wishes, in the west on the military post.  Then something happens to change his mind.  Priscilla has also had a change of heart and an unexpected turn of events change the lives of Priscilla, Major Ryder, and the twins.

     I thought this book was interesting and I enjoyed reading it.
