An immortal love story and a search to find yourself. Ricki leaves her very successful but stressful family in Atlanta for Harlem where she falls straight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. Ricki's fairy grandmother has helped her realize her dream of opening a flower shop and its success is everything so she doesn't need the distraction that Ezra presents every time he appears wherever she is. They play a cat and mouse game but secretly we know that they are soulmates. Ezra also knows that he wants Ricki and she is the one person he can't have. The beauty and colorful history of Harlem in its golden age combined with the very real problem of curses, steamy love scenes and witty dialogue will have readers swooning and rooting for Ricki. Readers of MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, Pete Hamill's FOREVER and ill-fated love stories will fall heavily for this. 4 1/2 stars

Post WW1 London where two women fight to have the respect and life they want. Alice Diamond is the undisputed queen of crime where her ring of shoplifting women are more than frustrating the authorities with their daring. Police Detective Lilian Wyles is one of the first female detectives and uniquely able to bring in Alice and her Forty Elephant gang. Riveting historical fiction from a women's perspective that makes for a great read outside of the society pages. 3 1/2 stars
