Favorite Books for September

TO SKETCH A KILLER by Caryl Janis – The characters are believable and realistic, as are the events on the street in this mystery story. And there was one thread left kind of dangling that leads me to believe there might be other stories following this one. If there are, I will be looking for them.

DRAGGED TO THE WEDDING by Andrew Grey – This is a hilarious contemporary gay romance. James needs a date to his sister’s wedding in Montana. Because he hasn’t come out to his family, his date needs to be a woman. His best friend, Randy, introduces him to Daniella—who gets James’ heart thumping, but he’s never been drawn to women. It confused him until he discovers Daniella is Daniel who is also LaLa Bonafonte, a premier drag queen. And the fun begins.

PROMISE ME CHRISTMAS by Gini Rifkin – This is a medieval romance, and the author obviously did her research, but she doesn’t hit you over the head with the details. The world building is excellent and puts you there in the keep with the characters. This is a different kind of romance in that the main characters are already married, but with war literally on their doorstep, the two are often kept apart while longing for each other. But he promises he will be with her at Christmas—although things don’t look good for that happening.
