Robin McElveen: Hi! I'm Robin McElveen, aka Melody Kittles, and I write fantasy novels, novellas, and short stories. As a Christian, I try to keep my books in line with my faith. Faith and family come first. I've taught my children at home since 1998. I feel there's a need for quality books which promote good morals, so I'm doing all I can to help meet that need.

The Widow

by Mary Kingswood

This is the second book I've read by Mary Kingswood and I am just as satisfied with her work this time as I was last time. Her attention to detail in every respect, while keeping the plot riveting, and the reader invested in the lives of...

Cowboy Reckoning

Cowboy Reckoning

by Barb Han

Interesting Characters I have tons of mixed feelings about this book. Yes, it's a clean read, but not inspirational, so if you're looking for both in a novel, skip this one. The characters were interesting. I think a little less inner m...

The Owner's Secret

The Owner's Secret

by Kimberley Montpetit

Sweet, Clean Romance, But... This was a sweet, clean romance, but the conflicts were strange to me. The dialog was odd in places, too. There were several bits of wording that could've been worked on a little more. Also, for a person who...

Love Comes for the Cowboy

Love Comes for the Cowboy

by Savannah Adams

Cozy, Easy-to-Read Story I'm gonna jump right into this review. Things I Liked: character backstories were interesting; watching a city person learn about the beauty of rural life was interesting; happy ending. Things I Felt Could've B...

Loving the Navy SEAL

Loving the Navy SEAL

by Lynn Shannon

Held My Interest I go into books containing military MCs with a healthy dose of skepticism. Often, the characters are too romanticized for my taste. There was one part where the hero used the word "behind" instead of something more mili...
