Tanner Cole was a professional until he had a horrible injury that has him wondering if he will ever recover. He has to start working with a new physical therapist, Jordan Mueller. He is already known as Mr. Grumpy and he calls her the Disney Princess. They are thrown together and begin to get to know each other as they work toward his healing. The story was okay but I am not a fan of people using derogatory terms to label others. The character of Tanner was not my favorite for taunting an educated and optimistic person for doing their job.

In this revised edition written by Helen Addison Howard in 1941, the reader is treated to a biography of Chief Joseph and a chronicle of the five bands of the Nez Perce people. Chief Joseph was a master statesman of the Nez Perce in times of war and peace. His true love of the Nez Perce lands and his people led him to constantly strive for dignity and honesty in his pursuit to have his people live on their native land in peace. This addition includes some interesting new material that gives new insight into Chief Joseph as a leader I’ve long had an obsession of reading truthful accounts detailing Native American people in the 1800’s. This book was interesting and I really enjoyed learning things about this era of American History and the Nez Perce people.

In 1891 Victoria, Australia, Anglican priest Matthew comes to a small town to become the pastor of their church.  He meets local policeman, Jonah Park and they immediately become friends.  Jonah introduces him to small-town living and all the local pubs.  As their friendship progresses, Matthew feels a growing attraction to the rugged Jonah as their relationship takes a turn.  I must begin with the comment that this story is in the LGBTQIA romance genre. I usually do not read or review these books but I decided to give it a try.  That being said, I found the author’s characters to be engaging and interesting.  The storyline was realistic and enjoyable..  The characters’ problems were sensitive and emotional.  I am a lover of historical romance and found this book to be a good addition to this genre.
