The Sweetheart Tree, by Clover Autrey ☆☆☆☆☆Paranormal, sweet
One life turned the Battle of Sunken Bridge….Not a history enthusiast, Bree doesn’t pay much attention while at the Civil War museum with her history-buff sister. Though letters behind glass and a multitude of initials carved into the Sweetheart Tree do cause Bree to wonder if she will ever find someone to love that wholeheartedly. She never expected to be thrown back in time; or to find the answer in the warm gaze of a confederate lieutenant. A lieutenant who, should he live, will alter history.
“Clover Autrey pens a sweet romance. This tale gets to me in a way because of the hint that history may not be all we think it is. If we could only go back in time some of the heroes, like Captain Ware, may turn out to be something else….I thoroughly enjoyed this tale.” – Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio …full review

When the World is Right, by Margo Hoornstra ☆☆☆☆☆Contemporary (later life), sweet

Now all Brian wants to do is make amends. Assure Casey of his love. But, will she accept the gift he’s brought her and forgive him? And make their world right once again.
“Margo Hoornstra seems to be reminding us how easily simple things can turn into major battles between people. Most couples can probably relate to the situation of the characters. Dreaming of the future seems to be easy until that next step of actual commitment faces Brian….This is a well told tale of a man facing his fears in a good way.” – Dee Dailey, The Romance Studio …full review
