Here it is already the end of another month. Where does the time go? I have been busy as usual reading some wonderful books for the month of March of 2026. Here are the 8 books I read and reviewed for March. I might have read even more if I didn’t have a few WIP. But I always seemed to have a WIP! That fact never stops me! I hope you enjoy reading these reviews.
I love sharing my eclectic reads in this Jemsbooks Segment, Books Read in the Month. I hope you will get a chance to look over these books soon. Thank you for your kind support of my work and that of my fellow authors.
If you are an avid reader, as I am, please review the books you love on Amazon or wherever you purchased them for others to enjoy your reviews. Reviews are one way for readers to know about an exceptional book. We indie authors love to receive reviews and appreciate the efforts of readers to do them. Once again, I thank you for your kind support of me and my books and for supporting my fellow authors too.
When I wrote these reviews I rated them on Amazon, Goodreads and sometimes Barnes & Noble. I did not include the ratings here though. It is best to share my thoughts with you about how I felt about the book without the rating. Ratings can be deceiving at times.
We all feel differently about books. Sometimes we love them, sometimes we like them and still other times we may dislike a book. Some other books are so memorable they take your breath away! While still others are sweet, sensitive, and enjoyable reads that we soon will forget. But all these books I have reviewed were lovely reads as you can see from my reviews. I hope you enjoy my reviews and that they will help you to decide what will be your next read.
The Templar Detective is an interesting mystery, thriller, full of action, adventure, murder, intrigue, written in modern England but still it evidences the courage, determination and godly manner of the Templar Detectives who despite what they had done in the past, seek to help those who are in need.
The Templar Detective, Marcus, returns home to France after learning that his sister has died. She has left two young children without a parent. Marcus feels compelled to leave his post and take a break as a Templar Knight to raise her children. He brings with him his trusty squires who are dedicated to assisting him in all his trials.
This was a book that I purchased for my husband who loves anything about history. When I picked it up to check it out, I was hooked. I love the main protagonist who solves a mystery and saves many innocent people. I am now reading book 2 to find out what he will do next.
The Templar Detective book 2 is another well-crafted story in this intriguing series of a Templar who is a detective solving mysteries and putting wrongs to rights in the same time frame as the first book. In this tale the Templar assists an adulteress who claims to be innocent. As the story moves along there are many more individuals that he feels compelled to help. He must fulfill his role as a Templar while at the same time caring for his late sister’s two children and another child who is without family.
This is a wonderful series that kept me riveted by the resilience and never-ending energy and determination to complete each task that the Templar is given along with his trusty squires who are dedicated to staying by his side through whatever comes their way. I look forward to the next book in this series.
The Book of Six is a space opera with plenty of action, adventure, sex situations with intergalactic species, and wars among the different planets. There are intriguing characters such as Gali and Sonos who are discovering one another and finding that what you see does not always depict what you truly are. Sonos is known as a butcher and had killed his share of others until he meets someone with whom he feels a kinship and may want as a mate. This is book 1 in this series that, I’m sure, will have plenty more adventures between the species and wars raging as the fights for dominance and power continues.
This genre is not my usual choice of a read but I enjoyed it minus all the explicit sex and language.
To Rescue the American Spirit is a moving, comprehensive, and compelling story of this great American president, Teddy Eisenhower, a fearless fighter and patriot who was dedicated to building a strong nation.
Brett Baier created a wonderful book describing Roosevelt’s life, loves, family, political career, failures, successes and his incredible accomplishments. It was like a walk through history. Many events I remember from my schooldays in history class while others I did not.
It resonates with our present day world and events. I highly recommend reading this book as a reminder of the power of our culture and how each person can make a difference in our world.
Ten Thousand Light Years from Okay is a story full of love, loss, and grief after a writer loses her husband. She had written a story previously about a husband going for a run and being hit by a car just as her husband had lost his life. She begins to think that she was responsible for his death.
She fears that if she writes another story that it may come true also, but she soon writes a story to try to bring closure to her grief and at the same time a new love in her life. There is such a thing as deja vu and kismet but how far will the main protagonist take her beliefs?
An intriguing premise that kept me guessing how it would end.
The Kill Clause is a short story with plenty of action and murder as the main protagonist, a hired killer, has to make decisions about what her life has come to when she has to kill someone who has a young daughter in the house. Paige has to make decisions about her life and where it is going. Can she go on doing this?
Her past has determined how troubled she is after being pushed from one foster home to another. The person responsible for training her to be an assassin enlisted her when she saw how vulnerable she was as a young woman. Paige compares herself to Santa Clause because she can slip inside houses unseen and not heard but anything but jolly.
A gripping short story that had an intriguing ending.
Summer Island is a beautiful and memorable story of family, love, loss, and forgiveness. It is a touching and emotional family saga that tore at my heart.
Hannah does it again with this stirring and heartbreaking family saga. It details how important one’s upbringing is to one’s health and emotional wellbeing.
I highly recommend this lovely and emotional read.
The Last Father-Daughter Dance is a moving, tender and emotional story between a daughter and the love of her father as he is near death. The father wants to leave his daughter with precious memories of their last days together and requests that they make a trip to his favorite place in the country and celebrate all seasons in one short time.
It was touching and heartwarming to see how much he wanted her to remember him in all seasons after he was gone. It did end abruptly leaving me wondering what was going to happen or what I was seeing was really true. I did enjoy it though up to that point but wanted more.
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post. Please come back again soon. There is always something brewing at JemsBooks.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
