Review: A MacKenzie Clan Gathering

A MacKenzie Clan Gathering A MacKenzie Clan Gathering by Jennifer Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the Mackenzies. It's always a pleasure to revisit these brothers and their McBride in-laws, but I particularly enjoyed this installment since it was a continuation of Ian and Beth's story, ten years later. I adored Ian in the first book of the series and it was great to be able to get back inside his head and see how much progress he's made since marrying Beth.

I accidentally read this story before Malcolm and Mary's book, but fortunately wasn't lost at all. However, if you haven't read "The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie" before beginning this novella, please stop immediately and find yourself a copy of that book first! It's totally worth the delay in getting through your existing TBR pile. :-)

Quick Update

Once again, it has been a while since my last post.  For various reasons, I haven't had as much time to read as I would have liked over the past 8 months or so, but hopefully life is returning to normal now.  I've continued to be active over on Goodreads and even posted a few reviews, including those for a couple of really good upcoming releases that I was able to check out thanks to Netgalley.  I have several more Netgalleys stacked up that I'm really looking forward to reading soon.

(Sidenote: I think I've finally figured out how to cross post my Goodreads reviews over here at the same time as they're posted over there, which would be nice!  Usually I'm pretty good with this technology stuff, but that's something that has managed to elude me this whole time.  Wish me luck!)

Especially observant readers may notice that I've changed the blog's URL.  The original "Groaning Shelves" title, explained in my very first post, doesn't apply so much anymore since I almost exclusively read on my Kindle these days.  My bookshelves are still VERY full, but I'm donating a lot of DTBs to the library after I read them now, so the shelves don't "groan" quite as much as they used to.  The new URL should be pretty self-explanatory, but in case it's not: Hi, I'm Laurie and I read romance novels!  ;-)

That's all for now!  Happy reading, everyone.
