Touch the Devil ReviewThis book centers around three men: Former IRA gunmen Liam Devlin, Martin Brosnan and Frank Barry. Devlin is now semi-retired, working as a professor of English Literature at Trinity College in Dublin. Brosnan is in an island jail off the French coast for shooting a policeman during an IRA arms deal. Barry is now working as a gun-for-hire to various left-wing European terrorist groups, and sometimes the KGB.
After he attempts to kill the British Foreign Secretary on a visit to France, the Prime Minister decides Barry must be dealt with, once and for all. Group 4, the PM's special missions unit headed by Brigadier Charles Ferguson, is given the task.
Ferguson enlists the aid of Devlin and, after he breaks out of the prison, Brosnan, in the mission. There is personal bad blood between Brosnan and Barry. The final confrontation is the best part of the book, when Barry tries to escape England with a stolen rocket-launcher prototype and Brosnan and Devlin hot on his heels.
This book would be enjoyable for Higgins fans, because the characters have either appeared in other Higgins books, or (in the case of Barry) been alluded to. It's nice to get some background on Brosnan, and it makes his actions in "Eye of the Storm" more clear and understandable.
But Barry is the most interesting character. He's Sean Dillon, only less charming and more cold-blooded. The relationship between Barry and Dillon was hinted at in "Eye of the Storm," where Dillon refers to Barry as sort of his mentor. That relationship is interesting, and I would like to see Higgins devote an entire book to it, because I think it could work well.
I would also like Higgins to give us some more background on the time in the late-60s/early-70s when Devlin, Brosnan, Barry, and Dillon were all in the IRA together. Hopefully he'll put out a book on that, too.
As for "Touch the Devil," if you're a Higgins fan, you'll like it. If you're not, it's a good introduction to some of his main characters, but not his best book. I recommend "Eye of the Storm" as an introducition to Higgins, because it'll get you hooked and coming back for more.Touch the Devil Overview

Home Mountain ReviewI first read this story several years ago and over time, it has remained vividly in my memory. I can recall scenes and dialogues and picture the images painted by Ms. Williams' words in my mind. Katie's story draws you in before you realize it and you are swept into the mountain country of Arizona in the Old West, struggling along side an orphaned family. Ms. Williams brings the era and the people alive, touching fiction with history. Almost all the characters, especially Katie and Bill, offer something of interest to the reader - you get the sense that each has his or her own story. "Home Mountain" is a sweet story (a bit unrealistic), a historical romance without a doubt, but something about it lingers. It is a tale of the strength of spirit, of family and of love and if you enjoy historical stories, it is worth a read.Home Mountain Overview

Eventually they all make it back to port in Wrangle, a small Alaskan village. Lt.Paul Howard takes the information on the body, the shooting and the boy. James is almost 8yrs old and wise beyond his years. He has secrets to keep and won't tell where he lives. Lisa, James , and Paul become involved in more crime. This is an action -packed, emotional story. It is the story of a woman recovering from tragedy. It is a story of a man with a broken heart. Crow in Stolen Colors is filled with vivid descriptions and colorful characters. There is Native American folklore aplenty. There is the love between a boy and a dog and between a woman and a boy. Nobody can be trusted,deception on almost every page. I found this to be a wonderfully absorbing tale. It is compelling and impossible to put down.Crow in Stolen Colors Overview

I Went to Vassar for This ReviewThis novel is standard chick-lit fare with a time travel twist. It would have been more interesting if the author also showed us what was happening to 1959 Cathy in the twenty-first century. Cathy is a cross between a rambling Gilmore Girl and Elaine from Seinfeld, but sometimes her behavior is so over the top that at times it makes her a bit unlikeable and unbelievable. After a misunderstanding ruins her date with Hank, she stands outside his door and proceeds to grope her breasts while screaming that he could not handle a real woman- oddly enough he doesn't get a restraining order and is not deterred by her behavior.
This book has the chick-lit cliche of the hunky down-to-earth guy who also happens to be very rich. Cathy also goes out of her way to show us how enlightened she is, she hires a mouthy black girl of whom she says if it were the twenty-first century this girl would work for me and we would go out for drinks together. This is weird because its before she gets to know her, but just assumes for some reason just because the girl is black that they would be best buds. Also her idea of progress still has the black girl working for her not with her-not as an equal but as a subordinate- but I guess you take your progress where you can. She also stages a sit-in to protest anti-semitism at an exclusive club. This happens near the end of the book, and at this point I got a little tired of Cathy and her grand gestures(racism, gender roles, sexual discrimination/harassment, dating a guy who's on the down-low, healthy eating, the list goes on and on)and stupid behavior and just wanted to finish the book so I skimmed over this part.
All in all not a bad book but not a very good one either. At times I couldn't believe how stupid and clueless Cathy was given that she went to Vassar and has an MBA, but in all the chick-lit books the heroine has to be stupid so I guess that is all par for the course. I think you are supposed to be laughing at how dumb she is but I find this aspect of the genre irritating. Why do all these women have to be written as idiots? It was refreshing however that Cathy didn't carry on too much about her weight or her clothing. Despite the flaws, unbelievable coincidences and the silly ending,the book kept me reading and engaged in the story. It's a good beach read.I Went to Vassar for This Overview

A Name of Her Own ReviewThis is fiction for females, right? Men don't read sagas of Indian women struggling for survival. Men don't understand the emotions of a mother fighting for her children, of a wife absorbing a drunken husband's abuse.
Ah, but Jane Kirkpatrick is a writer capable of changing all that. Her words have the power to change, the ability to open blind eyes and stubborn hearts. Even this man can be touched by her story.
On the surface, the story is simple. In the early 1800s, Marie Dorion, her children, and her abusive mixed-breed husband Pierre, trek across the plains and the mountains, aiding a party of adventurers intent on establishing new territory for rich men on the east coast. They encounter snow, icy rapids, Indians, and starvation along the way. They inch closer and closer to ultimate defeat.
But the story is so much deeper, really. This is a nuanced account of a marriage. It is a rich tribute to the strength and humility and determination of women in a man's world. It's heartbreaking at times, life-affirming at others, and never anything but honest in delivery.
Jane Kirkpatrick, a master at her craft, continues Marie's trek with another book in "The Tender Ties Historical Series." I am compelled to follow.
Oh, what a trek this is!A Name of Her Own Overview

The Captain's Bride: Northern Lights Series #1 ReviewI have read books written by Lisa before and enjoyed them but this book surpases them by far. I love the Norwegian history and the language, as it is my own heritage and it reminds me of my Great Grandmother. The tale of the Norwegian immigrants tells the story of more than one family and covers so many difficulties and hardships that the immigrants and so many families faced then and now. The characters come to life and are so intwined with each other, but still each have there own stories. I so appreciate the way the characters rely on God, but are still real people with the tempatations that we face. The learn that God's way is best, but not always the first time. I felt encouraged as I read the book. What a wonderful way to spend a lazy weekend. Thanks for the wonderful new style of writing that you have started in this book, Lisa. The history is great and I can't wait to read the next book.The Captain's Bride: Northern Lights Series #1 Overview
