My Review
4 STARS

Ladies of Intrigue is another fascinating compilation of three novellas with calculating characters and all kinds of shenanigans going on. I was held captive by the words on the pages. How are these couples going to survive treachery, brutality, and danger? Will they continue to rely on God? Will they discover they can trust and depend on one another?

Griep is a master when it comes to creating realistic situations. I found each story came to a satisfying conclusion without being rushed. I highly recommend this novella collection to fans of suspense. The stories are appropriate for any age and quick to read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

  1. I would love to win a copy. I love Novellas because I can read them rather quickly and they almost always have happily ever afters. Then again, sometimes I like them so much I want books made from the characters, so I am excited to read these and find out what I think. Thanks for the chance to win Anne!

    1. hey Laura, Sometimes I don't have much time to get into a big book so novellas are perfect for that. I know what you mean by falling in love with the characters and wanting more, though. Thankfully, I think Michelle did a great job in wrapping all of these up.
