"Sunshine Every Morning" by Dorothy Glenn (Garlock)

Sunshine Every Morning by Dorothy Garlock, writing as Dorothy Glenn is a fun romance between two older people who rushed into first marriages, both ending in divorce.  They meet in a hospital shortly after Gaye loses her baby.  She becomes attached to the baby she reluctantly agreed to breast feed that was abandoned by its mother and grandma, MacDougle.  Jim Trumbull, MacDougle’s grandfather, has custody of him and falls in love with Gaye as he sees her forming a bond with his grandson.  Gaye has strong reservations about becoming too attached to the baby and feels herself falling in love with the grandfather against her better judgment. 

I enjoyed the humor in this book and the blustery Jim Trumbull who was a very interesting character, big, rugged, passionate, boisterous, yet gentle although impatient.  He and Gayle had some funny dialogue which I enjoyed, but could have done without the explicit sex scenes.  I think someone who has been in a bad marriage or is into babies would like this book and enjoy it more than I did.

"Come a Little Closer" by Dorothy Garlock

Come a Little Closer by Dorothy Garlock is a historical romance set in the 1940s.  Christina was an army nurse who decides to switch gears by leaving Minnesota to be a nurse in the small Wisconsin town.  She finds herself in a love triangle with two brothers who both are attracted to her but very different.  Both the Doctor she assists and one of the brothers have issues that she helps them overcome.  She finds herself being attacked by a jealous obsessive woman and chased by an alcoholic out for revenge for his brother’s death.  She chooses one of the brothers and lives happily ever after. 

This book is about taking risks and making changes to improve your life.  It reminded me of a fairy tale but was an enjoyable read.  I was surprised at the brother she decided to marry—thought she would have picked the other one.  Although basically a romance novel, it had enough action in it to keep my interest.

"Keep A Little Secret" by Dorothy Garlock

Keep A Little Secret by Dorothy Garlock is about secrets, revenge and romance. Charlotte leaves her home in Minnesota to teach in Oklahoma and lives on John Grant’s ranch. John Grant is a target of two people holding grudges against him.  Owen and his twin sister leave Colorado in search of their father to get revenge but find love instead. There are several calamities that make this an interesting read.

I was attracted to the cover and when I saw it was by Dorothy Garlock, I had to get it. This is a fun read with some mystery, action and romance. I liked the teasing between the couples and between the brother and sister. The wildfire, stampede and tornado all made for exciting reading.

"Train From Marietta" by Dorothy Garlock

Train From Marietta by Dorothy Garlock is story of adventure in Texas and romance in the 1930s. When Kate plans to take the train from New York to California to practice medicine with her uncle, little did she know that she would be kidnapped along the way and her plans would change when she finds romance. This is also a story of betrayal, survival and friendship. I liked all the main characters, especially the Indian boy.


Dorothy Garlock is one of my favorite authors and this book did not let me down. I love how she can tell the story in such a way that it makes me feel as though I’m right there or watching a movie. I enjoyed this book very much because I like stories with happy endings!

"On Tall Pine Lake" by Dorothy Garlock

On Tall Pine Lake by Dorothy Garlock is quite an action-packed adventure for Nona Conrad and her sister, Maggie, and good friend Mabel that takes place at a fishing campgrounds in Arkansas.  This is a fast-paced novel involving criminal activity that the reader is let in on as well as some the reader is left to figure out.  There is suspense, some mystery and some romance in the novel.  It is a quick read because it keeps your interest with all the action in it that makes you eager to see what will happen next.  As Nona had a hard time deciding who she should trust, so does the reader.  The theme is basically that some people will do just about anything for money.
