Editor: Lea Schizas Line Editor: Nan Swanson Cover Designer: Suzannah Safi Pages: 21 ISBN: 978-1-77127-144-8 Price: $2.50 Warning: Sexual content-18 and over. Back Cover: Alexa “Lexie” Thomas has a problem only a magical force can rectify. Lexie is running in fear for her life through the woods of a mountain campsite where she has taken refuge from her ex-convict boyfriend, Joe O’Neil. Recently released from prison, Joe has sworn revenge on Lexie for pressing criminal charges against him for a prior assault on her. As she struggles through the dense overgrowth, Lexie stumbles upon a log cabin with a sign that reads “Lacey’s Lamp.” Inside she finds a safe haven in the form of a rustic bar and a proprietress with special powers, Lacey Flowers. Lacey claims to be a genie who can grant her the fondest wish of her heart. When Lexie confides her wish to Lacey, the genie directs her to Eric Cooper, the handsome park ranger with whom Lexie is acquainted from prior camping trips. As her relationship with Eric heats up, the manhunt for Joe continues. Can Eric protect her from Joe’s retribution? Or will Lexie continue to run now to protect Eric? Only the genie knows for certain. Excerpt: “Welcome to Lacey’s Lamp,” came a soothing voice from behind the bar. A buxom woman with flowing red hair wiped the counter with a rag. Although dressed in a white blouse and dark trousers, the woman appeared to be the same as the one in the painting. Funny, I don’t recall seeing anyone when I came in. “I’m Lacey Flowers, the proprietress. How may I serve you?” “Please, I—I need help. I’ve been running so long, and he’s going to find me.” Lexie could scarcely blurt out the words as she hurried up to the bar. Uncontrollable tears dripped onto the counter. “You look frazzled, honey. Please sit down.” Lacey picked a few stray twigs from Lexie’s disheveled hair, took her by the hands, and coaxed her onto a barstool. A tissue appeared in the woman’s hand and she daubed at the salty droplets before they trickled to the bar. “Now stop crying before you get my place all soggy, and tell me what happened.” About the Author: Diane Deeds only recently answered the call to write. While the characters in her head remained on call waiting for many years, she is excited to answer the call to commit their thoughts to paper before she is committed. Diane relocated decades ago to the heat and bright lights of Las Vegas, Nevada to thaw out after many winters in New York. She resides with her first and only husband and their teenaged daughter. |

Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
