SATURDAY BOOK REVIEW

I'm excited to be sharing Lisa Mondello's THE KNIGHT & MAGGIE'S BABY with you today.

Here is the blurb that's up on Amazon:   Amazon    or     Barnes and Noble

Sometimes fate needs a little help…

Jonah Wallace knows what it’s like to grow up without love. Despite having more money than the Queen of England, his childhood was cold and stale as he grew up in boarding schools. He’s dedicated his life to helping homeless and displaced children find the love and support they need by creating the Haven House Foundation, work that resulted in him being Knighted by the Queen.

Now that he’s living in America, his work is going along just fine…until his grandfather gives fate a little nudge by insisting he take a wife before he can inherit.

Coffee shop owner, Maggie Bonelli, is pregnant and the baby’s dad has gone AWOL. She knows too well the pain of growing up without a daddy. So when Jonah Wallace comes into her shop proposing marriage for a year, she takes him up on his offer, even if it’s only for a year. Live in a mansion and give her baby a name and a daddy to call his/her own. But can they keep their perfect arraignment strictly business…or will fate’s helping hand bring them love at last?

My thoughts:

I thoroughly enjoyed the story.  It's a full-length novel, but I finished it in two sittings.  The premise seems a little unusual, even though she gave each of them valid reasons for moving forward, but she carried it off.  You understand each of their reasons and fall in love with the couple as they fall in love with each other.  Oh, and if you want to know if they had a boy or a girl....well, you'll just have to read the book...down to the last twist that endears this man to any woman's heart.

The Knight and Maggie's Baby can be purchased today at:   Amazon  or Barnes & Noble

The Journey of Life, Love & Good Books Begins!

Welcome!  I'm Sandra McGregor.  I hail to many titles, but my favorite ones are Mother, Wife and Romance Author.

If you're already a friend, I'm glad you stopped by to check out my new blog site, but I'm always excited about making new friends, so spread the word and invite others to join the fun. 

My current plans are to post new articles about my Life and Love twice each week and Good Books (and their authors) will be featured once each week.  (usually on Wednesdays, but this might vary)

So, I hope you'll drop back by often and check out my upcoming guests and leave comments.  I hope you will also "like" my site and choose to follow me during this exciting journey through life while I write and publish books for your enjoyment.

Below is a short Bio that I hope you find interesting.

I've written stories for many more years than I care to admit, even though some of them were only a page long and lacked most of the required elements for a book to be deemed publishable.

I got a little more serious in the 1990s and actually finished several full-length books, but, alas, I made all the new writer mistakes and, still, they were deemed unpublishable.  Then in 2001, I accepted a challenge from my husband to get serious and write some of the books I'd been talking about for so long.  Never one to step away from a challenge, I began to study, take classes and write.

In 2006 I went to my first romance writer's meeting, Georgia Romance Writers of Atlanta, Ga. and the rest, as "they" say, is history.   With help from several people in reading and giving advice, I sold my first book to Avalon Books in 2008 (under a pen name).  I was on my way.  It published in 2009 and the next one released in 2010.

Then, I took another challenge and edited some of my older stories and joined the exploding number of authors who are putting their work up on Amazon and Barnes & Nobel and, in essence, we're publishing our own e-books.

Currently, I have five books up for sale--with a sixth one being launched in about a week.

You'll hear more about these and upcoming books in the days and weeks to come, but in the meantime, let me assure you that what some people teased me about as a "hobby" is a serious career that I'm pursuing and I'm excited to be sharing my writing life with you.
