My Blog

Retirement. Publishers, thank you for the many years of reading pleasure you gave me, but all good things must come to an end. Due to failing eyesight I am forced to retire. I can no longer review your books, and any that you send will be donated to the local library, unread. Do not send any more. I can only read for a couple hours every day, and this does not allow me to finish a book in reasonable time. I will be devoting time to my own books from now on, and reading on a personal level. Books that interest me. I prefer paperbacks and hardbacks, not eBooks. My eyesight has been failing the last few years, and I cannot handle hundreds of review books any more. My books are still available for review. Anyone interested in reviewing any of them, they are found in the Link to Tom’s Books On Amazon. Contact me for pdf copies at fadingshadows40@gmail.com

“A Falling In Love Story”

The author gave me a copy of the book for an honest review. Sparkle January moves to New York from Dallas, Texas, to become a Pet Taxidermist, but the job doesn’t pay her bills, so she decides to become a Maid of Honor for weddings to add to her income. She has made one best friend in New York, cafĂ© owner Nick Patrizio. He’s someone she can run her ideas by and ask opinions of. But Nick has fallen in love with her, and he does cause little butterflies to flutter in her heart, but Sparkle has a secret. It is a secret that keeps Sparkle from her own wedding, and she’s afraid for their feelings to advance beyond best friends.

Although I don’t normally read romance novels, this author’s clean writing style, and interesting stories have pulled me into all of her books. There is humor, drama, tension, and people fall in love. You won’t find sex and profanity in her books, and I’m thankful for that. This is a book Christian readers can, and will, enjoy. Highly recommended.
