Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Isaac toils by day in the sweltering tobacco fields of South Boston, Virginia. At night, he steals away to shepherd runaways on their journey north along the Underground Railroad. All the while, he yearns for the freedom that Henry, his boyhood friend and owner’s son, takes for granted.
When war sweeps the nation, Henry enlists to fight for the Confederacy. In his absence, Patrick, his older brother, capitalizes on their father’s illness to seize control of the family farm. Suddenly, slaves feel the sting of the whip, families are torn apart, and Isaac’s own father is sold south. Fear grips the slave quarters as Isaac’s mother struggles to protect her children and her invalid master from Patrick’s cruelty.
Following false promises and failed escapes, Isaac’s only hope of reuniting with the woman he loves lies in joining Henry and the Rebels on their march northward. When Henry is wounded and taken prisoner, Isaac finds himself behind Union lines—free, but facing a hard choice: should he follow his dreams or return to slavery to save his childhood friend?
The Freedom Star unfolds against the backdrop of the Civil War, bringing added tension to this gripping family drama.

Claudia’s geeky boyfriend Adam has just invented a time machine.
No, really—he has. She doesn’t believe it either until Adam provides her with definitive proof that he does, in fact, have a functioning time travel device sitting in the living room of his Manhattan brownstone.
But instead of getting ready to accept the Nobel Prize, Adam has very different plans for his groundbreaking invention. He wants Claudia to use the machine to travel back in time and stop the accident that landed him in a wheelchair over a decade ago, and prevent the trajectory of events that he believes ruined his life.
When Claudia reluctantly agrees to become the first human time traveler, she knows she’s making a big gamble. If she succeeds, she could have the happy ending with commitment-phobic Adam that she’s always dreamed of. But if she fails, it could mean the end of the universe as she knows it.

Six Months in Montana, by Pamela M. Kelley, is free today in the Amazon Kindle store, and this book has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 556 customer reviews.
Category: Contemporary Romance
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Molly Bishop loves living in Manhattan and managing a boutique luxury hotel. She’s about to be promoted to her dream job of General Manager, the role she’s been striving for her entire career.
There’s only one thing standing in her way.
The will of her childhood friend, Christian Ford’s grandfather. She hasn’t even seen Christian in over ten years, but a recent run-in with his grandfather during a rare visit home, resulted in a new condition to the will. Christian will only inherit the ranch he’s been running and the real estate development business that he has expanded, if he marries Molly and stays married for at least six months.
This is what I would call a cozy romance, it’s romantic and sweet and is set in a small fictional town about 30 miles from Bozeman, MT. Warning, if you prefer your stories with the bedroom doors wide open and the windows steamed up, you may be disappointed.
I love to cook and try new recipes and if you do too, you may want to check out the recipe I included at the end of the book, for Lazy Lobster Casserole, the dish that Molly serves her guests at the Rose Cottage Inn’s first wine dinner. It’s a recipe I know by heart and have made a million times and is great for special occasions. It’s a holiday tradition in our family to have it every Christmas Eve.
