Review: Love & Olives

Love & Olives Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I saw that Ms. Evans Welch had a new book out, was looking forward to it. Love & Olives did not disappoint. As a matter of fact, I was pleased at the level of emotional depth Evans Welch was able to write into it.
Reader Advisory: clean read; the romance is cute, but the heavy hitter for this one is the healing relationship between Olive and dad Nikos.

Review: Dark Tides

Dark Tides by Philippa Gregory My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was really looking forward to this second Fairmile book. The story takes place in the early years of King Charles' II Restoration. In Tidelands, we saw the effect of Cromwell's puritanistic rule on the poor Ferryman family. In Dark Tides, Alinor and Alys Ferryman have made their escape to London where they've toiled away for twenty years to build a small, honest warehouse on the grubby end of London. Alinor's brother has escaped to North America where he hopes to live for himself away from the rule of a king he can't respect. I appreciate the way Gregory moves us from Ned in the New World to Venice to England. I liked Ned's story a bit more than the melodrama taking place around the London wharf. If you like books by Philippa Gregory, you'll probably enjoy the Fairmile series, but you need to start with Tidelands. View all my reviews
