Thanks so much for joining me! I’ve been looking forward to hosting a release party for Ruthless [The Shores of Avalon Series] since I first came up with the premise for the story in 2020. I shuffled between different books for a while, deciding I’d write Ruthless first, when I realized it was my favorite. […]

This book is crazy, but I loved it anyway! The dialogue is awkward, it has loads of typos, but honestly, I couldn’t put it down. Emma and Damien’s chemistry is smokin’ hot! We jump headfirst into the fire fast, and those first love scenes are so steamy I’m still getting goosebumps long after putting the

In my early days as a writer, I attended many conferences where we were told that it was critical, as authors, to have a presence on social media like Facebook and X (then Twitter). I was reluctant. I’d had a Facebook page, once. I used it mainly to connect with former classmates. Since I was

As the story opens, I was expecting an alpha hero, but Giles Fitzhenry is anything but.

It’s amazing how so many great things came out of the mid-nineties – movies, TV, books. When I learned this title was first published in 1994 I wasn’t especially surprised.

Dangerous, however, kicks off with a very enticing build up about a dark hero who quickly softens, whereas, in Scandal, the character building of the hero is slower

I stuck it out with this lengthy historical romance, which gets off to a really slow start. And when I say “start” I’m referring to the first 268 pages of the book. Jennifer Blake is a master at detail, however, so little happened for me for such a long time that it was surely my

Reading time is a precious commodity. In this crazy world of ours, it often seems that those who want to read don’t have the time to do it and those who do have the time don’t choose to do it. The grass may seem greener on the other side of the fence, for instance, if

I greatly enjoyed Arranged Love by Diana Rose. The story begins when the main character, Princess Alyona is just twelve years old. Unable to comprehend why her parents insist she live a sheltered existence within the palace walls, Alyona sneaks away and finds herself in a world unlike anything she has ever known. And while

I fondly remember the summers when I was a little girl. We would swim in one of those blow-up kiddie pools in the yard, play on the swings, and go to the library and check out books to read. We did this right up until the time when I was reading young adult romance. Books
