My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Loving Rose

Dorothy A. Bell ❤️ loved this book because...

The characters are very strong and they drew me in immediately. Nothing like a cunning and stealth enemy to bring two lost, brave, intrepid souls together. Love Justice rightfully served and happy endings.

Book cover of Don't Look Back

Dorothy A. Bell ❤️ loved this book because...

Amanda Quick is one of my most favorite author's. She never fails to engage my senses and attention with her innovative characters, plots and style. Don't Look Back is a story of intrigue and intelligence verses evil and duplicity. Ms Quick is a master. You gotta love a plot like that. Also the historical element played a big part of this story. From the first page I was there.

Pretty Pride

By Dorothy A. Bell,

Book cover of Pretty Pride

What is my book about?

1887

At auction, Leif Kenyon bid and won the beautiful, bursting-with-potential Pretty Homestead, the perfect property for his saw-mill. His bid, however, comes with unforeseen, knotty strings attached: one bitter, fiery, prickly red-head, Zola Pretty, and her sullen, teenage brother, Forest. Leif’s first and immediate problem, how to save face and reputations among the close-knit community of Pretty Dale? Solution: immediately take Zola as his wife.

Who can deny Zola her outrage, her humiliation at being reduced to the status of domestic help, her brother a farm hand, and an offer of marriage in one day. Circumstances chafe. Mr. Kenyon did out bid, save her and her brother from the horrid, disgusting neighbor, Amos Emory. And from his appearance, at least Mr. Kenyon bathes.
