Book Review: When Love Calls by Lorna Seilstad

When Hannah Gregory's parents die, she alone is left to take care of herself and two younger sisters.
With money running out, Hannah has no option but to quit law school and find a job. Becoming a switch board operator seems like the perfect gig, except for all the RULES. And Hannah is not really great a following rules. Hello Girls are carefully watched both during work and in their private life so Hannah has to be on guard everywhere. But things get even more complicated with a handsome young lawyer and a mysterious arsonist get thrown into the mix.

I always enjoy Lorna Seilstad's ability to pick out areas of history that are not written about much and bring them to life in her stories. I really enjoyed learning more about Hello Girls and all the funny rules that the job entailed. Mixing in a little romance and mystery adds up to a fun read.

Book Review: When a Secret Kills by Lynette Eason

Jillian Carter has been on the run for ten years. After witnessing a murder as a teenager, Jillian feared that she would be next and so kept hidden and kept quiet all this time. Now she decides that the truth has been hidden for too long, and no matter what, she will see that the truth comes out. Only is what she saw really the truth.
As Jillian fights to find out the truth, she is also fighting to keep one step ahead of those who would want to silence her forever!

I was so excited when this book came up for review. I've been eagerly awaiting the last book in this trilogy since each of the previous books ended with me wondering what was going on and what was about to happen. I would definitely recommend reading the first two books in the series before delving into this one, in fact I wish I would have read the first two books to review all that happened previously, but it didn't ruin the story that I didn't. Great story, with some good twists thrown in! A very good ending to the series.
