I enjoyed For the Love of Emma very much and was delighted for the opportunity to read the rest of Emma’s story in Emma’s Quest. This lovely story picks up with Emma moving to another state to meet a man she barely knew and yet for whom she was willing […]
It was such a treat to revisit friends from the Heirloom Secrets series and meet new ones in Where the Last Rose Blooms! It’s bittersweet the series has concluded, but so good to have a satisfying ending for Rose’s story. My favorite aspect of this book was the clever method […]

I treasured To Treasure an Heiress! Beth’s hunt for a pirate’s booty was fraught with danger and mystery. And a romance she didn’t expect or desire. Sheridan was one of my favorite heroes of all time. He was witty and charming. His sudden and strong attraction to Beth was so […]
