Primal Obsession, by Susan Vaughan ☆☆☆☆☆
Suspense, spicy
Guiding a canoe party through the Maine wilderness is more than just a job for former Major-Leaguer Sam Kincaid.

He can't let himself be distracted by an ambitious, obsessed female, even if she's sexy, witty and smart. Investigative journalist and confirmed urbanite Annie Wylde embarks on the canoe trip to keep a promise to her murdered friend and intends to use the outing to study her notes on the notorious killer called the Hunter. More…
“Susan Vaughan writes an intensely romantic thriller with a serial killer who seems to be able to escape any trap that's set for him. The depth of the characters in the story is probably the part that makes this such a great read.” – Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio …full review

The Zebra in the Manger, by Karen Hall ☆☆☆☆☆
Historical, sweet
Eleanor Hamilton's husband, Drew, had always called Christmas a magical time of year. Now, the tree is decorated, Christmas Eve church bells are tolling, and Drew has not come home.

When her daughter's whimsical story and a friend's legend give her a bit of hope, practical Eleanor must truly believe that Christmas is about the very best magic there is: love.

These books sound great!
History is filled with so many stories.
When I was little I was told, through books, I could be anyone. A pirate, a princess, a witch. literature is the one venue where people can truly connect, and fully understand another person or culture. sharing history, is like sharing a piece of ourselves.
