Trixi's Review:
The Gentleman’s Smuggler’s Lady
Resplendent of a
great Poldark episode, “The Gentleman’s Smuggler’s Lady” will have your heart
palpitating as you ride along the Cornish seaside with Isaac Seaton and win the
heart of his lady love Helen Fletcher. Meeting under less than ideal
circumstances, he must untie the knot of secrets and mystery in order to
impress the young lady. No easy feat when she only sees him as a scoundrel and
smuggler! Ah, but you will find true love wins in the end. I loved this one and
the smoldering undercurrents between these two.
Isaac certainly reminded me of my favorite character in Ross Poldark and
his vibrant masculinity!
The Doctor’s Woman
“You have a
healing gift, daughter. It’s not for man
to chide what God’s given. Never be ashamed of what you are. “
After the death
of her doctor father, Emmy Nelson is called upon to nurse a soldier back to
health at Fort Snelling where she meets Dr. James Clark. They have differing
methods of healing that oftentimes clash and cause tension between the two.
Especially when it comes to caring for Sioux Indians who take shelter within
the forts walls, the exact tribe that killed her fiancé. Can these two find a
way to work together? I loved this one because Emmy is a woman far advanced in
the medical world with her knowledge of herbal remedies. She would have been
looked down upon by society because of it. In a place where her skills are desperately
needed, it matters not! James takes a while to realize she’s a valuable asset
not only to his practice, but to his life. I really liked watching these two
fall for each other and the promise of forever waiting at the end.
A House of Secrets
Engaged
couple Amanda and Joseph have the same desire to help the poor and destitute
of the city. Hers by opening a school providing much needed education to poor
children and him by rescuing women who want to escape the brothel. But he holds
a secret that could cost him the love of his life. Can he learn to trust her
enough to tell her the truth? These were the perfect couple for each other!
Both of them have big hearts and the means to help where ever needed. Joseph
has more than a surface reason for helping women and he must overcome his fear
to allow Amanda complete access to his heart. When it’s true love, it will
cover a multitude of sins…real or imagined! I loved Amanda’s strong spirited
personality and how she fought for the school. A great little story packed full
of punch, a little bit of faith and a whole lot of love!

Paula's Review
These were three entertaining, quick reads.
The Gentleman Smuggler’s Lady: 1815 Cornwall, England
A
governess, Helen Fletcher, comes to Cornwall to tend her ailing pastor
father. She is welcomed by Esther and Isaac Seaton, the local gentry.
Adventures ensue as Helen is pursued by an odious Revenue official who
is after local smugglers. After her father’s death, who will come to
Helen’s rescue? Full of local flavor and exciting period scenes, Ms.
Griep has penned a colorful tale of intrigue.
The Doctor’s Woman: 1862 Fort Snelling , Minnesota
A
doctor, James Clark, newly appointed to Ft. Snelling and Emmaline
Nelson, whose doctor father has recently died, must work together
through a tough winter. They learn many things while tending troops and a
band of Souix Indians at the encampment near the fort. Ms. Griep has a
wonderful way of describing the setting and the emotions of the
characters.
A House Of Secrets: 1890 St. Paul, Minnesota
A
mysterious, dilapidated mansion lies in ruins. Amanda and her Ladies
Aid Society have plans to renovate it to benefit the poor. The problem
is she can’t find out who owns it and her city attorney fiancé Joseph
can’t or won’t help her. This novella has a great cast of characters: a
dastardly villain, a caring and upstanding hero and a heroine with a
heart of gold. But can secrets interfere with their eventual happiness?
The pace is fast and Ms. Griep’s settings put you right in the action.
