The first was about post WWII Hamburg, Germany, the latter is a western which feels a lot like the movie remake of True Grit. Both are good reads, but as usual, gratuitous, unnecessary sexual references are sprinkled amidst great characterization and plot. So un-needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Camy Tang<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trouble in Store by Carol Cox. It&#8217;s the book of the month reading at Christian Fiction Devourers on Goodreads. Super cute story so far!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laurie Alice Eakes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just finished reading Poetic Justice, a traditional Regency by Alicia Rasley.
