Matthew is a retired soldier looking for peace and solitude after the horrors of war and past mistakes. Gabrielle is a warrior that is trying to stay alive after avenging the wrongs done to her so many years ago. They are from different worlds, and with different priorities, definitely not not a pair of characters that you would expect to meet and fall in love.

This is a wonderful story about loss, pain, growth, and trust. Ms. Mueller shows us the horrors of Gabrielle’s past through dialogue, creating a distance for the reader that makes it still painful to learn, but still readable. She brings us to care and fear for this young woman and what she has been forced to live through. Matthew is a rare breed of hero, a man that is sure in himself, and sure of the woman he loves, knowing that to try to curb her strength would kill her not only by putting her in danger from others, but by killing her from within.

B from Dear Author:

A Speakeasy Named Hell is an enchanting story. The characters are believable as the reader is carried back to a time where there was much heartache during the Depression Era. Ms. Mueller once again creates a story so vivid that the reader is enveloped in the whole setting. The romance she instills with her characters is amazing. She makes her heroine a devoted mother with strong motives as she struggles to keep one step ahead of everything. This is an extraordinary read that melts the heart.

A refreshing, lovely story, Jennifer Mueller brings her readers back to the days of the Speakeasy and the Depression. She uses great descriptive prose to paint her canvas with feelings, sights and sounds that draw the reader into the whole picture. The romance elements are subtle but there and she builds her characters in keeping with the time period. The plot is simple, well written and flows smoothly. This story is more orientated to the heroine whom the reader will relate too. She is a strong woman, who has had to fight for survival, intelligent and tenacious and will reach the heart of the reader.

5 stars
This reviewer recommends this book as a volume to be kept by the bedside table. In length, characters, plot, setting, and entwined romance, each story would make an excellent just-before-sleep read, sending the reader off to Dreamland on a happy, if thoughtful, note. Once again Jennifer Mueller excels in her grasp of variant historical periods, elucidating character and providing plot and setting unequaled.

Here's the whole five star review

This book consists of a trio of unrelated short stories; however, that is not a bad thing. Each individual story accounts the anecdote of one lady in a certain set of circumstances. . . Ms. Jennifer Mueller packed so much “story” into so few words, and the work flowed so well, it would be impossible for a reader to not enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!

Jennifer Mueller has written three lovely stories and I enjoyed them all. The stories are basically about women and the way they live, their fears, their hopes and the chances they receive in life. I loved all the main characters because they were strong and knew what they wanted out of life, even when things got though, they held on. The Odyssey and Other Stories is an anthology containing sweet and romantic stories that will make you feel completely relaxed. A collection you’ll surely enjoy!

Read Empress and To the ends of the Earth free

Empress - China, in the 600’s can prove to be exhilarating when a woman is summoned to visit the Emperor. Before Lady Jun knows what is happening, she is Empress, after her father acknowledges she is royalty. Now, she must take heed and watch out for the Emperor’s brother in this wonderful tale. Two Sides of a Coin - It is the year, 1527, in Spain and threats of the Inquisition abound. After a prince searches for a bride, he soon finds himself married but the woman is cold and expressionless, and even in bed, things feel like a duty to her. Then he sees a gypsy girl, in a nearby camp, who is brazen and feisty, and he wishes his wife could be like the gypsy. This is one delicious eye-catching tale. Purgatory - Set in 1536, Italy, a story of a woman that will tug at the heart. Elina knows that since her mother’s passing, her father has done everything to try to make her happy, but the suitor he chooses for her to marry, does not stir sensations in her heart. Moment of Calm- The American Colonies in the year of 1777 brings tears to the eyes, and sorrow to the heart. Abigail Culton helps Major Jonathan Wentworth when he tries to escape the British, but what they both discover is a lasting love through the years. Ghost Woman of Rajayan - In the year of 1855, in India, two people search for love and discover it. The scenery is exotic, the characters refreshing, and a charming tale where the spirits breathe life. Hidden From View – USA 1861 - Evangeline Boudreau and her family live in Lily House. After years past, stories are told, and she inherits the land but always stays from view with her family in the shadows. An enticing good read.

Women of Their Time is a marvelous anthology of stories that carries the reader to a different exotic place in a different year and time. It tells of daring women that wish to make more of their status and shows their resolve to take anything that is thrown in their court, by making things positive. The list goes on with the remarkable tales that are included in this book. These are only a few that reach out and make the heart joyful, and each one is superb. Ms. Mueller painstakingly creates powerful stories that captivate the reader and makes the heart often leap for joy. She takes the reader to landscapes and settings that appear so life-like and believable with every word she pens. I always find all her stories extraordinary and delightfully spun.

This is truly a marvellous collection of short stories that take the reader away to exotic places in different times. Each story is about a woman of that time, her circumstances and her determination to master her life and the curve balls it throws her. Ms Mueller takes us to China in the 600s in her story Empress where a woman has been called to visit the Emperor. All of a sudden she finds herself becoming the Empress and has to find her way in court and watch out for the Emperor’s brother. Then later, again in China, Ms Mueller takes us forward to 1376. In her story To The Ends Of The Earth we find a woman who is escaping her father with the man she loves. Her father is determined to find her but is tired of chasing her. When someone offers a solution to his problem he readily accepts. Two Sides Of A Coin takes us to Spain in 1527. Here the dangers of the Inquisition are in full swing. A prince is looking for a bride and his man finds himself suddenly married. His wife is cold and emotionless. How he wishes she could be more like the fiery gypsy girl he’s seen in their nearby camp.

The reader is now completely captivated by these opening stories as Ms Mueller paints great imagery with her pen, multi-dimensional characters that leap off the page. Each short story is a nugget that needs to be savoured. Some of these stories will have the reader gasping in surprise at the twist at the end and some will give the reader a warm shiver and a glow in her heart. Ms Mueller continues to capture the reader with heart-warming stories like Purgatory set in Italy in 1536. Moment of Calm has the reader thinking she’s right there in the American Colonies in 1777. This story brought tears to this reviewer’s eyes. It is amazing how Ms Mueller, in these short stories and with very little words can give the reader such a powerful tale where the reader can so immerse herself in.

Let us now continue as Ms Mueller also gives the reader a peek at Italy in 1812. This story is called A Stranger, One of Us. Another powerful story about a woman in quite a dire situation, Catherine, sets herself up in a small town to have her baby and live her life alone. Then we get swept off to India in Ghost Woman of Rajayan. This takes place in 1855 and in this exotic setting two people find love. Oh, this reviewer could go on and on. You will just have to get this book and read these fabulous stories for yourself. This reviewer is a firm fan of Jennifer Mueller’s writing and can only give this anthology a resounding five hearts!
