Book Review - Yankee In Atlanta by Jocelyn Green

Genre:
Historical

Yankee In Atlanta
Heroines Behind The Lines book 3
by Jocelyn Green

-From the back cover-

She hid from her past to find a
future – and landed on enemy soil.

When Caitlin McKae woke up in Atlanta, the Georgian doctor believed Caitlin's only secret was that she had been fighting for the south disguised as a man. In order to avoid arrest or worse, Caitlin hides her true identity and makes a new life for herself in Atlanta as a governess for the daughter of Noah Becker – on the brink of his enlistment with the Rebel army. Though starvation ruled and Sherman raged, could she keep her vow not to run again?

Another thrilling historical from Jocelyn Green!

I have been hooked on Jocelyn Green's Heroines Behind The Lines series since I first read book one, eagerly devouring each succeeding title. With her signature attention to historical detail Jocelyn Green weaves a tale of love and loss, sacrifice and forgiveness. Yankee In Atlanta is an emotionally gripping story that takes the reader through the fears and separations of war, the highs and lows of human relationships.

One of the more fascinating parts of the story was about the Draft Riots in New York City in 1863. Even though I read a lot of history I had never heard of them before and I was inspired to read more.

Jocelyn Green's writing makes you look beyond the dry dates from history lessons and hollow glory of war. Instead you see real people trying doing the best they can and facing the gut-wrenching day-to-day battles of a country torn apart by war.

This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

Book Review - A Most Inconvenient Marriage by Regina Jennings

Genre:
Historical

A Most Inconvenient Marriage
by Regina Jennings

-From the back cover-

Abigail Stuart Thought She Was
Jeremiah Calhoun's Widow.
But Jeremiah Calhoun Is Very Handsome,
Very Alive, and Very Perplexed.
Most Inconvenient Indeed.

With few options of her own, nurse Abigail Stuart agrees to marry her patient, a gravely wounded soldier calling himself Jeremiah Calhoun. They arrange a quick ceremony before he dies, giving Abigail the rights to his Ozark farm and giving Jeremiah the peace of knowing someone will care for his ailing sister after he's gone – a practical solution for both of them.

After the war, Abigail fulfills her side of the bargain – until the real Jeremiah Calhoun shows up, injured but definitely alive, and wastes no time in challenging Abigail's story. Abigail is flummoxed. After months of claiming to be his widow, how can she explain that she's never seen this Jeremiah Calhoun before? How can she convince him that she isn't trying to steal his farm? And will she find a way to stay, even though this practical arrangement has turned into a most inconvenient marriage?

Regina Jennings best yet!

If there's one thing Regina Jennings does well it's romantic comedy with spiritual and life lessons. A Most Inconvenient Marriage fits that to a 'T'. There are some very poignant moments that cause the reader to pause for reflection amidst the humor.

I really can't remember which Regina Jennings book I read first but I have certainly enjoyed each succeeding one, A Most Inconvenient Marriage was no exception. In fact, I think it just might be my favorite yet.

This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Regina Jennings

Author's Website

The characters in A Most Inconvenient Marriage are varied, flawed, quirky, and fun. Well, fun except for some not-so-nice guys that liven up the lives of our hero and heroine.
Regina Jennings has such a way of pulling the reader into the lives of her characters. I ran the gamut of emotions with Abigail and Jeremiah. Jeremiah's suspicions of Abigail's motives and character really got my dander up a few times.
One must not forget the neighbor kids, Josiah and Betsy, those two are just hysterical! You could just about base a series off of them and their antics.

One of the neatest things about this book is the wonderful cover. It really matches the story and I just love it! The Bethany team has outdone themselves yet again.

A Most Inconvenient Marriage is a definite winner from Regina Jennings! Don't miss it!

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives A Most Inconvenient Marriage by Regina Jennings a 4.5 Bark rating.

Monday Movie - I Dream Of Jeannie Season 1 on DVD

1/19/2015

I Dream Of Jeannie
Season 1
Starring
Barbara Eden ■ Larry Hagman

(1965-1966)

Captain Tony Nelson is an astronaut. While on a mission, he discovered a mysterious bottle. Opening it, he released Jeannie (a Genie) who was so overjoyed at her release she promised to serve Captain Nelson. Nelson is unsure what to make of Jeannie, especially given that his work is highly secret and his superiors tend to keep a close eye on him.

I may have been born 20 years too late but I Dream Of Jeannie is still one of my favorite shows. Blessings on reruns and DVDs!

This show is a wonderful and lighthearted blast from the past. Jeannie is sweet and funny and you really don't want make her mad.

I watched quite a few episodes of I Dream Of Jeannie back when it was still on Hulu, reminded me why I liked it so much. It was perfect to wind down with an episode or two at night. This world has so many problems and terrible stories that it was a welcome respite watching a show where the worst problem was how to get a lion out of a living room and how to hide a jealous genie.
Well, we got on a TV show on DVD kick and I just couldn't resist ordering in season one at the library. Fun and funny, I still love this show and count it as an
all-time favorite.

This show is fun for the whole family. There is nothing more objectionable than slapstick violence and some innocent 60's innuendo. This is a show I would have enjoyed as a kid and definitely do as an adult.

Great show and great fun!

Anthony 'Tony' Nelson: You're kidding.
Jeannie: I jest you not, Master.

Anthony 'Tony' Nelson: Where am I? Where am I? What's that?

Anthony 'Tony' Nelson: Oh, boy. What is it?
Jeannie: Hot chicken soup.

Anthony 'Tony' Nelson: A million bottles on the beach, and I had to pick hers.

Draven's Light Cover Reveal & Chapter Excerpt + GIVEAWAY

1/16/2015

Feast your eyes on Anne Elisabeth Stengl's latest Tales Of The Goldstone Wood cover!

In the Darkness of the Pit
The Light Shines Brightest

Drums summon the chieftain’s powerful son to slay a man in cold blood and thereby earn his place among the warriors. But instead of glory, he earns the name Draven, “Coward.” When the men of his tribe march off to war, Draven remains behind with the women and his shame. Only fearless but crippled Ita values her brother’s honor.

The warriors return from battle victorious yet trailing a curse in their wake. One by one the strong and the weak of the tribe fall prey to an illness of supernatural power. The secret source of this evil can be found and destroyed by only the bravest heart.

But when the curse attacks the one Draven loves most, can this coward find the courage he needs to face the darkness?

Coming May 25, 2015

Excerpt from
DRAVEN’S LIGHT
By Anne Elisabeth Stengl
(coming May 25, 2015)

He heard the drums in his dreams, distant but drawing ever nearer. He had heard them before and wondered if the time of his manhood had come. But with the approach of dawn, the drums always faded away and he woke to the world still a child. Still a boy.

But this night, the distant drums were louder, stronger. Somehow he knew they were not concocted of his sleeping fancy. No, even as he slept he knew these were real drums, and he recognized the beat: The beat of death. The beat of blood.

The beat of a man’s heart.

He woke with a start, his leg throbbing where it had just been kicked. It was not the sort of awakening he had longed for these last two years and more. He glared from his bed up into the face of his sister, who stood above him, balancing her weight on a stout forked branch tucked under her left shoulder.

“Ita,” the boy growled, “what are you doing here? Go back to the women’s hut!”

His sister made a face at him, but he saw, even by the moonlight streaming through cracks in the thatch above, that her eyes were very round and solemn. Only then did he notice that the drumbeats of his dream were indeed still booming deep in the woods beyond the village fires. He sat up then, his heart thudding its own thunderous pace.

“A prisoner,” Ita said, shifting her branch so that she might turn toward the door. “The drums speak of a prisoner. They’re bringing him even now.” She flashed a smile down at him, though it was so tense with anxiety it could hardly be counted a smile at all. “Gaho, your name!”

The boy was up and out of his bed in a moment, reaching for a tunic and belt. His sister hobbled back along the wall but did not leave, though he wished she would. He wished she would allow him these few moments before the drums arrived in the village. The drums that beat of one man’s death . . . and one man’s birth.

His name was Gaho. But by the coming of dawn, if the drums’ promise was true, he would be born again in blood and bear a new name.

Hands shaking with what he desperately hoped wasn’t fear, he tightened his belt and searched the room for his sickle blade. He saw the bone handle, white in the moonlight, protruding from beneath his bed pile, and swiftly took it up. The bronze gleamed dully, like the carnivorous tooth of an ancient beast.

A shudder ran through his sister’s body. Gaho, sensing her distress, turned to her. She grasped her supporting branch hard, and the smile was gone from her face. “Gaho,” she said, “will you do it?”

“I will,” said Gaho, his voice strong with mounting excitement.

But Ita reached out to him suddenly, catching his weapon hand just above the wrist. “I will lose you,” she said. “My brother . . . I will lose you!”

“You will not. You will lose only Gaho,” said the boy, shaking her off, gently, for she was not strong. Without another word, he ducked through the door of his small hut—one he had built for himself but a year before in anticipation of his coming manhood—and stood in the darkness of Rannul Village, eyes instinctively turning to the few campfires burning. The drums were very near now, and he could see the shadows of waking villagers moving about the fires, building up the flames in preparation for what must surely follow. He felt eyes he could not see turning to his hut, turning to him. He felt the question each pair of eyes asked in silent curiosity: Will it be tonight?

Tonight or no night.

Grasping the hilt of his weapon with both hands, Gaho strode to the dusty village center, which was beaten down into hard, packed earth from years of meetings and matches of strength held in this same spot. Tall pillars of aged wood ringed this circle, and women hastened to these, bearing torches which they fit into hollowed-out slots in each pillar. Soon the village center was bright as noonday, but with harsh red light appropriate for coming events.

Gaho stood in the center of that light, his heart ramming in his throat though his face was a stoic mask. All the waking village was gathered now, men, women, and children, standing just beyond the circle, watching him.

The drums came up from the river, pounding in time to the tramp of warriors’ feet. Then the warriors themselves were illuminated by the ringing torches, their faces anointed in blood, their heads helmed with bone and bronze, their shoulders covered in hides of bear, wolf, and boar. Ten men carried tight skin drums, beating them with their fists. They entered the center first, standing each beneath one of the ringing pillars. Other warriors followed them, filling in the gaps between.

Then the chieftain, mighty Gaher, appeared. He carried his heavy crescent ax in one hand, and Gaho saw that blood stained its edge—indeed, blood spattered the blade from tip to hilt and covered the whole of the chieftain’s fist. Gaher strode into the circle, and the boy saw more blood in his beard. But he also saw the bright, wolfish smile and knew for certain that his sister had been correct. The night of naming had come.

“My son,” said the chief, saluting Gaho with upraised weapon.

“My father,” said Gaho, raising his sickle blade in return.

“Are you ready this night to die and live again?” asked the chief. His voice carried through the shadows, and every one of the tribe heard it, and any and all listening beasts of forests and fields surrounding. “Are you ready this night for the spilling of blood that must flow before life may begin?”

Gaho drew a deep breath, putting all the strength of his spirit into his answer. “I am ready, Father.”

Gaher’s smile grew, the torchlight flashing red upon his sharpened canines. He turned then and motioned to the darkness beyond the torchlight.

The sacrifice was brought forward.

Book Review - Random Acts Of Murder by Christy Barritt

Genre:
Suspense

Random Acts Of Murder
A Holly Anna Paladin Mystery book 1
by Christy Barritt

-From the back cover-

When Holly Anna Paladin is given a year to live, she embraces her final days doing what she loves most – random acts of kindness. But one of her extreme good deeds goes horribly wrong, implicating Holly in a string of murders. Holly is suddenly in a different kind of fight for her life.

Only two other people know Holly was at the site of the murder, and one of them is the killer. Making matters stickier is the fact that the detective assigned to the case is her old high school crush and present day nemesis.

The clock is ticking as Holly is forced to play a dangerous game. Will Holly find the killer befor he ruins what's left of her life? Or will she spend her final days alone and behind bars?

It wasn't the really cool cover that caught my attention and made me want to read this story, but rather it was partly the title and definitely the back cover blurb. The whole premise of a young woman with only a short time to live trying to catch a killer before he decides to knock her off was positively intriguing.

I really liked this book, no doubt about it. I've been a mystery/suspense/romantic suspense fan for years and Random Acts Of Murder was right down that alley. I spent my time trying to figure out who the killer was and I even had a guess pretty quickly but Christy Barritt took me on some twists and turns which left me questioning and wondering.

This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

Christy Barritt

I loved Holly Anna and her wonderfully quirky sense of style that matches her personality. She is upbeat and caring, but also knows a snake when she sees one. I slipped right into her world and enjoyed seeing the mystery through her perspective.

Random Acts Of Murder will pull you in, take you on a wild ride, and at the end leave you begging for more. I really can't wait until I get the chance to read a book two in this series.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Random Acts Of Murder by Christy Barritt a 4 Bark rating.

CrossReads Book Blast - The Naomi Chronicles book 1 by Paula Rose Michelson + GIVEAWAY

1/14/2015

No Other Choice: The Naomi Chronicles, Book One
By Paula Rose Michelson

About the Book:

Naomi will be sent back! She left her family and all she held dear, traveled half way around the word while accompanying a blind, old grandmother because they promised to help her enter America and find her uncle. Instead they handed her over to immigration. What she does now, she does because there is no other choice! This is Naomi’s journey from adolescence to womanhood, from frightened isolation and captivity to the noble status of heiress. Trapped in a life where all who know her think her a saint, saddled with a mission and responsibility many would shirk from placed upon her shoulders, Naomi agrees to marry because that seems to be the easiest way to sidestep more issues. As timely as the immigration debate of today is, author, William Struse’s endorsement says, “Duty, sacrifice, and faith are carried in the arms of love by a courageous young woman, who rises above her own flaws to help others.”

Paula Rose Michelson
As a Messianic Jew, Paula Rose Michelson wanted to write about life, love, choices, and forgiveness. She researched what befell the Jews baptized into the Catholic faith to survive the Inquisition, and when she began to write The Naomi Chronicles, Naomi told her the story you are about to read. Because of her extensive background in recovery as a Chemical Dependency - Lifestyle Disorder Councilor, her work with The Rubicon Center, and as the founded LAMB Ministries in 1988, where she continues to mentor women suffering from trauma and abuse the way God mentored her, the author knows that though her heroine’s story is unique, Naomi’s issues of fear and hiding are universal, for they are seen in anyone who is masking their real pain. Paula Rose Michelson is the wife of Lutheran Pastor and Chosen People Field Missionary, Ron Michelson. The mother of two married daughters, and grandmother of seven grandchildren, when not involved in ministry, writing, speaking, or teaching the effective use of scripture, you will find Paula researching her next book or meeting with friends.

Monday Movie - Roughing It

1/12/2015

Mark Twain's
Roughing It
Starring
Robin Dunne ■ Ned Beatty ■ Jill Eikenberry ■ Eric Roberts
Adam Arkin ■ James Garner as Sam Clemens

(2002)

Mark Twain. Rebel. Writer. Legend.

America's most beloved novelist, Mark Twain (James Garner), reflects on his life as a young Sam Clemens (Robin Dunne) and his wide-eyed, adventure-seeking days in the West in this inspiring and entertaining classic.
Sam Clemens doesn't have a plan for the future, but when his brother, Orion, travels out to Carson City via stagecoach, he decides this might be the path for him. What ensues is an exciting journey—one filled with wild card games, treacherous snow storms, prospecting disasters and more. But when all else fails, Sam falls back on the one skill that the Wild West can't take from him—his power with a pen. Eric Roberts and Adam Arkin also star in this acclaimed, two-part miniseries.

I ordered this movie in at the library on a whim. I've loved Mark Twain's stories since my Dad read Tom Sawyer to my brother and I when we were little. I really didn't expect much since it can go either way with Hallmark Channel movies and this was one of their made-for-TV specials. I was quite pleasantly surprised. The movie had some decent acting and definitely some hilarious moments, after all Mark Twain WAS a well known humorist.

This movie is lighthearted and at times outrageous which is totally fitting considering the title of the show. But there are also some rather poignant moments, like the scenes where a bunch of grizzled disreputable looking trappers help a friend in a rather surprising and very touching way.

This movie is watchable by the whole family with only a little relatively bloodless violence, the only blood I really noticed is when a rather large Territorial Statutes law book lands on young Sam's nose while he's snoozing in a stagecoach.

Totally funny and very quotable Roughing it is a bit on the long side but if you are like my family you will find yourself going to the second half and just watching it all in one sitting.

Quotes

Mark Twain: So we were on our way, leaving everything we knew behind, while there ahead of us lay the wonderful world of the sweet unknown.

Sam Clemens: I'd be happy to go to sleep. It's all this shivering that's keeping me awake.

Higbie: I've killed us fellers, and I think it would be be wise if we got our souls ready to meet our maker.

(After an explosion Mr. Ballou set off)
Higbie: I thought you were just gonna use flour. I thought we was just gonna flush him out.
Mr. Ballou: Well it looked like a pretty good site to me and I figured while we was at it....

Sam Clemens: Then I'm gonna to say that it's well known that the Constitution guarantees a man life, liberty, and a drink in peace and quiet after a hard day's work.

Mark Twain: So it was that I found my calling. I took the long way to it, I suppose, but maybe that was the only way there was to it. it's part of the mysterious adventure of your life. Because that's what it is, an adventure. Where things happen when you least expect them and often while you are doing something entirely different.
There are 1,440 minutes in every day. Your's to use as you see fit. To wander, to learn, to waste, to build. We didn't make this world but maybe we can make it a little better than it was when we came into it. It's all up to you.
