I have had the privelage of reading both of these books and found them both to be very enjoyable. Mrs. Jones' use of descriptive words makes the setting and characters come to life. As a reader, you become connected to the "cast" and hate to see the story end. I will definitely recommend these novels to friends, and hope they enjoy them as much as I did.

I really enjoyed reading this novel while on vacation. The story involving the main character and her adventures while on a cruise in Hawaii were a joy to read and kept me wanting to read more. I especially liked the author's descriptions. Mrs. Jones made me feel like I was right there, with the characters, throughout the entire book.
