From Chrissy at Romance Junkies – 5 ribbons for the upcoming Bird in a Gilded Cage: The Myth of Mirabella
Christy Poff never ceases to enthrall me with her suspenseful stories and BIRD IN A GILDED CAGE: THE MYTH OF MIRABELLA kept me captivated throughout the entire story. Mira and Mirabella could easily be one person and I was constantly wondering if they were one and the same or not. Maxwell is easy to love. His protective instincts and open and honest adoration of Mira make him the sort of man you’d want for yourself. I have to admit to a morbid fascination to each of the models deaths. There’s no doubt that the murderer is diabolical in his technique and I couldn’t wait to find out if Maxwell’s theory proved to be correct. There are some twists and turns to this story that I (hadn’t) anticipated and they’ll keep you guessing until the last minute. I think this may well be one of Christy Poff’s best stories yet so be sure to pick up a copy and experience this story for yourself.

From Dawn at Enchanting Reviews - 3.5 enchantments for the upcoming THE JOYS OF LOVE
(Labor of Love) …it is a bittersweet story with heart-warming characters and is not to be missed. The tenderness between
(Lost Love) The characters in the second story were fuller, with rich, complex personalities. My emotions were engaged from the very start, jumping from delighted to exasperation to sorrowful and back many times in this brief romance. This reader felt like she was experiencing the story along with the characters instead of just being told a narrative of what happened. The sex between the characters was lush and imaginative. The secondary characters had interesting roles, and added to the emotional element of the story. This story gets 4 Enchantments from me, for a combined rating of 3.5 Enchantments for THE JOY OF LOVE.

Finally -
As always, I end this month’s newsletter with a fire safety tip. Fire Prevention Week this year will be observed from October 7 to 13 and its message is PRACTICE YOUR ESCAPE PLAN. Always know two (2) ways out of your home in case the main exit is blocked and practice EDITH – Exit Drills in the Home. In case of emergency, know how to get out and where you and your family will meet once you’ve made it out safely. Simple concepts that will save your life!
We may observe FIRE PREVENTION WEEK every October but fire safety should be practiced every day whether at home, at school or at work – anywhere you go, these life saving tips should follow.
My best always -
Christy Poff
