TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Sand Creek Serenade in Books

Wow…
Where do I even start with this book? Jennifer Uhlarik did an amazing job with the historical aspects of this book. I loved a glimpse into rural fort life and that of a female doctor during the turn of the last century. The emotions and actions of the characters were very engaging and believable. I so enjoyed the love story

Melanie Caldicott (6 KP) rated The Disenchanted Widow (Tailorstown, #2) in Books
Apr 29, 2021
There were parts of this book that I liked - the characters were quirky, interesting and vivid. The backdrop of the historical context of the IRA and the hunger strikes were written about poignantly without a soap box or sentimentality. But the story was not compelling and I did not warm to the protagonists. This book did not grab my heart.
