A Death in Calgary is a novella that is not only very enjoyable, but it can make you think about your own life and the way you live it.
Set in a small town where everybody knows you and your business, a stranger drives into town. It's instant gossip, especially when the stranger is driving a 1964 black Cadillac hearse. Who is he and what is he doing in Calgary?
Little do the townspeople know that driving the hearse is death himself, and that the town will never be the same. Going by the name of Logan, death follows, no matter where he travels. Calgary is no exception. The town doesn't connect the higher than average death rate to the stranger, even if being around him does give them the feeling that something isn't quite right.
Logan has been hunting for something during all his years of travel. Little did he know he would find the answer in the small town of Calgary with the local handyman, Sam.
But along with the answer that Logan seeks comes a life and death dilemma that only Sam can solve.
Written with an insight to human nature that many rarely find, vivid characters and settings make this novella a definite plus to any reading library. I highly recommend it and eagerly await much more of M.B. Daughtery's work.

Review-Dream Lover by Adrienne Staff
I enjoyed this mystical romance set in the desert Southwest.
Two wounded souls, Carold Lawson and Cody Briggs come together in a clash of wills and instant attraction that neither one wants or needs in their life.
Carol Lawson who has just started work at the Ocotillo hotel as the new assistant manager of guest relations. A position she has worked hard to obtain. She hopes the change of scene will help her forget the hardest decision she ever had to make. A decision that has haunted her life.
Cody Briggs, whose looks proclaim he could be an Indian warrior, but was instead a part time tour guide and expert on Indian artifacts. But Cody has his own hidden wounds and isn't all that he appears.
Could two very different people find common ground or is physical attraction all they share? Both with deeply guarded secrets that only trust and true love can conquer, the road they travel is anything but smooth but so very worth the read!

Review of Her Kilt Clad Rogue by Julie Moffett
Her Kilt-Clad Rogue by Julie Moffett
Previously published in 2003 in the anthology Then He Kissed Her.
I very much enjoyed this novella by Julie Moffett.
Englishwoman Geneive Fitzsimmons is headed to the Scottish Highlands to become governess to Ewan Douglas, son the Connor Douglas, the Highland rogue that had broken her heart ten years before.
What on earth had made her accept this job? And how would she react to seeing Conner again. She had spent years trying to forget him!
Conner, recently widowed, needed help raising his head strong son. He can think of no better person than Geneive and since he has never forgotten their time together he eagerly awaits her arrival. Was it possible that the feelings they once had for each other be resurrected?
Should they fight the attaction they still felt towards each other and could they get past the fact that most people thought Conner had murdered his first wife? A hidden treasure, a possible murderer and a catty female vying for Conner's attention all make for a very interesting and fun read and makes you turn page after page to see if they really get their happy ending.
