Book Blast and Giveaway: Heart of the Ocean by Heather B. Moore

Heart of the Ocean
by Heather B. Moore

A dark secret . . . a grieving ghost  . . . a handsome stranger  . . .
What more could Eliza Robinson want?
Except for maybe her life.

In Heather B. Moore’s enthralling 1840’s historical romance, Heart of the Ocean, Eliza Robinson has turned down the very pretentious Mr. Thomas Beesley’s marriage proposal. As a business partner of Eliza’s father, Thomas quickly discredits the family and brings disgrace to the Robinson name.

While her father scrambles to restore his good name in New York City, Eliza flees to the remote Puritan town of Maybrook to stay with her Aunt Maeve. Although relieved to be away from all- things-male and unforgiving gossip columns, odd things start to happen to Eliza, and she is plagued by a ghostly voice. Her aunt’s explanation? That Eliza is being haunted by a woman who died of a broken heart twenty years ago.

H.P. Lovecraft Sundays #15

It is  the first Sunday of  2013 and it's time to continue with my goal of finishing up H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction. Here's the story I read today:

“Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family”

 

4 stars

"Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous," begins the story of Arthur Jermyn and the history of his family. We come to learn that out of madness, Arthur covered his entire body with oil and set himself on fire after viewing a box that came from Africa.

Audiobook Review: Paris, A Love Story by Kati Marton

Synopsis: This is a memoir for anyone who has ever fallen in love in Paris, or with Paris -- and for anyone who has ever had their heart broken or their life upended.

My thoughts: I'm not going to spend too much time with this review. I did not like this audio at all. It was dull and shallow.
