"Coming Home", by Gwen Kirkwood
Coming Home - Gwen Kirkwood

“Coming Home” is a moving romantic drama about building a new life after the Second World War - and about searching for love, stability and happiness.

After the victory the boys are coming home…..

We have two main protagonists: Megan and Steven who play wonderful and touching roles in this beautifully written story. The secondary characters help this drama to move forward.

A short synopsis:

After a long correspondence with Steven during his time away Megan has been anxiously waiting for his return. She has deep affection for him and only hopes her feelings are mutual.

Once home, Steven’s desire is to have his own farm. Bad blood between brothers is raging so Steven has to go on his own but the road ahead is not an easy one. With Megan off to college to finish her degree in teaching Steven struggles to build a home for both of them. Poor Steven has to jump one hurdle after the other but with the help of family, friends and neighbours he is on the right track to success. As all romantic stories unfold the hard work pays off and everything turns out all right. AWE….

My thoughts:

What a nice and heartwarming story this turned out to be. The story depicts the struggles of the time and the hardships the men returning home had to face along with their love ones. The book is easy to read although I found the tempo to be very slow moving but what it does well is to vividly bring to life the reality of post war rural Scotland. In this type of soft romance you can see how everything will end, from the get-go it was a given that Steven and Megan would end up together….no secrets there…..

“Coming Home “is a cute classic story of love and hope.

A Touch of Soul
A Touch of Soul - Gwen Knight

Autumn is a necromancer who communicates with the dead. She assists the police with murders. She interviews the deceased. She meets Caleb, soul-eater at one of the crime scenes she is helping at.
Caleb, it turns out, was cursed and had his soul stolen. I liked the idea of a necromancer interviewing the dead and working alongside the police to solve murders and find the victims closure.
Caleb was forced into what he is, having reported something any normal person would have. Autumn assists in helping. I liked that this had a resolution and stands alone.

Guarding Gwen - Cynthia Eden

Passion. Tension. Crazy stalkers. Childhood sweethearts. A great plot and exciting conflict and a plot twist. Who really is the stalker and what is the real motive? Can they pretend the past didn’t happen and keep things professional?  Absolutely not. Second chances don’t come around that often and Simon walked away from the love of his life thinking he had nothing to offer her, but when she walks back into his life and is in danger, he won’t stop until she is safe and his once again. I loved it. It was fast paced, steamy, explosive and had great characters and a great development of the relationship between the two. I loved it. So good. Excited to see what else is in store for this series; books 1 and 2 ended up being majorly explosive and I hope book three with Ben turns out to be just as great.

Continu to love McGuire's take on this character
Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider (2018-) #5 - Seanan McGuire,Bengal,Takeshi Miyazawa

Beautiful, beautiful work.   It's fun, it's full of awesome fight scenes, and doesn't skimp on character development.   Continues to be wonderful.
