    July 10, 2023 / Comments Off on Escape To Tuscany by Kat Devereaux

    The Guardian Escape To Tuscany by Kat Devereaux is a compelling dual timeline novel that enthralled me and entertained me from the start.

    July 6, 2023 / Comments Off on Secrets Of The Monument by Arlene Pearson

    The Guiding Light Secrets Of The Monument by Arlene Pearson is a wonderful dual timeline novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. The action is set over 1946 and 2015.
