A Joyful Christmas by Cynthia Hickey, Liz Johnson, Vickie McDonough, Liz Tolsma, Carrie Turansky, Erica Vetsch – Book Review

The Heiress’s Convenient Husband by Regina Scott – Book Review, Preview
Regina Scott’s books make me happy! I can always count on her to provide a story that is witty, adventurous, and sweetly romantic. James Howland was introduced in The Matchmaker’s Rogue, the first book in the Grace-by-the-Sea series. I love how we get to see a different side of him […]

Practically Married by Karin Beery – Book Review, Preview
