Book Review: Saving Grapes

Saving Grapes centers around Jason, and his friend Stumpy. Jason seems to have been one misadventures, and bad decisions after another. However, he always tries to overcome each one as they come along. Throughout this book his life comes upon many twists and romances.

Whether you like him at the beginning of the book, partway through you begin to cheer for him. He inherits a vineyard, has to learn how to get along with nuns, stay out of jail, and find love.

I loved this book and J.T. Lundy has a way of making you wish that you were in the story.

Book Review: Promises to Keep

This is the second book in the series, Love in Provence. I couldn't wait to read this after I finished the first book. This was every bit as good as the first one.

Katherine had gone to the south of France, as part of a house swap, after she had suffered a loss at home. Now we are going with her as she experiences love and all that comes with it.

Patricia Sands has a gift with words. This is evident by the way I went directly from one book to the next. I felt like I was in France with Katherine. Seeing and experiencing the thinks right along with her.

Before the first book in this series, I had not read a book by this author. Now I cannot wait to get caught up in her writing again.

Book Review: The Promise of Provence

Provence is located in the south of France and Katherine Price has agreed to go there as part of a home exchange. While there the author, Patricia Sands, describes the people, a yellow lab and the countryside with breathtaking definition that I could easily picture the scenes as if I were there.

Katherine is trying to recapture her love of life after she lost someone at home. Is France the answer to her need?

Readers will love the story-line as we see how Katherine faces the changes she needs to make.

Book Review: The Sisters of Versailles

This book, set in the early 18th century, is written from the memories of one of the five Nesle girls. Each sister, except for Hortense, becomes involved in the live of King Louis XV. The approach of each girl and the results of the relationship affects each of them and changes things over the years.

Many of the chapters have letters written by the sisters at the end. If the writing itself did not draw the reader in, the letters makes them feel like they are a part of the story.

I was pulled into the world of the life at Court and into the lives of each of these girls. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series of three.
