Chasing Cassandra is a secular historical title that I enjoyed. Cassandra is sad because her sibling has married. When she meets Tom, an engineer, she’s intrigued.
Tom is determined not to have feelings for others. He enjoys fixing things and working with machines. A shrewd businessman, he believes he knows what’s best for his life, and marriage and family are not a part of his plan.
But, something happens. Something so drastic that Tom wonders if he really does know what’s best for his own life. He really likes Cassandra and wants to help her. Is marriage the answer?
Such an amazing, emotional book! I also liked how the author references different novels that were available during this time in history.

It’s Better This Way is a story about Julia and Heath – two senior-citizens who reside in the same condo complex. Julia spots Heath daily at the gym. They start chatting and are drawn to one another. However, as they get to know one another, they discover a secret – a secret that could destroy their happiness.
Both of them are linked in a very unusual way.
I liked this story because it’s about two senior citizens falling in love. You don’t find many romances with elderly characters. Both of them have been hurt by their ex-spouses, and dating is the last thing that either of them wants to do. You also have the family dynamic with the reactions of the kids and their ex’s. I thought the kids reactions were realistic. I understood why they’d want to protect their parents from heartbreak.
I also enjoyed seeing Heath and Julia work through their problems. It was refreshing to see them spend time together, getting to know one another, trying to build a relationship amidst turmoil.
So, do you enjoy senior-citizen love stories?
If you do, in addition to It’s Better This Way, you should also try my novel, Caramel Kisses! It’s sweet, delightful, and amazing! Only 99 cents!
It’s a delicious historical novel that you don’t want to miss! I loved the descriptions of chocolate and reading about the heroine’s (Amity’s) profession. Amity works as a chocolatier in her family’s confection shop.
When a duke (Henry) approaches her about making a special, one-of-a-kind treat for his future bride, Amity agrees to do the task! Such a project will prove beneficial for her family’s business.
But, while Henry tastes Amity’s creations, he finds he likes Amity – even more than he likes her irresistible chocolate creations. But a duke cannot have a suitable relationship with a common chocolatier, can he?
So, do you like chocolate? What’s your favorite chocolate treat?
Do you enjoy romances with elderly main characters?
My romance novel, Caramel Kisses, features a hero and a heroine who are over 65. I’ve noticed that readers seem to like seeing senior citizens falling in love in Caramel Kisses. I wondered if I should write more stories with elderly characters.
How do you feel about this? Do you think romance novels should only feature young and middle-aged heroes and heroines? Do you enjoy romances that feature senior-citizens? Leave a comment!
I’m participating in a beach-themed promo with some other authors. If you read and enjoyed Caramel Kisses and Chocolate Dreams, then consider leaving a review on Amazon and social media! Have a blessed day!
How would you react if you found out, as an adult, that you were adopted?
Maddie is stunned when she discovers, right after the announcement of her engagement, that she was adopted. It wasn’t your regular/average adoption. What made her situation unique was that she was initially a frozen embryo. Both her, and her sister’s embryos, were adopted. Therefore, their adoptive mothers actually carried them in their wombs.
She’s also stunned to discover that she has a sister (London) whom she’s never known – a now deceased sister.
Dawson is hurt and stunned when his best friend and love of his life, London, is killed. He searches for London’s biological sister, wanting some connection to someone who is related to London.
This book really resonated with me because Maddie is angry because she was lied to for her entire life. It hurts when parents lie to their children – not little white lies, but, life-altering lies that can hurt you later in life.
I really enjoyed this novel. It brought a lot of feelings to the surface. You can understand why Maddie is angry at her parents, and you can comprehend why she clings to Dawson, wanting to know more about her biological sister.
Maddie’s situation also causes problems with her fiancé. Although he is sympathetic, he truly doesn’t understand what Maddie is going through.
That’s so tough. Sometimes, when we share our feelings with others, and react a certain way, people may try to support us, listen to us, help us. But, there’s just something comforting, nice, warm…to have someone there who TRULY understands our plight. I realize that’s not always possible, but, it’s nice when it happens.
Maddie’s relationship with Dawson began with their similar situations – both being connected to London. Dawson gives Maddie insight about London. Maddie craves information about her sister as she tries to understand and untangle the knots that have been woven into her life.
So, if you were adopted, how would you react if your parents waited to reveal the truth to you when you were an adult? What would you do? How would you react?
