A writer knows she's having a good day when a reader reaches out to her and yells, "I love your book!" I'm astounded by the response I'm getting from reviewers as well as readers. Here are a few bits from the letters I've received from avid romance readers...
I have only just started reading your book. It is brilliant and so hard to put down. It was only the need for sleep that I did! I read lots of books, my cupboards are full, and so I can quite easily say from my experience, your book ranks with the best! There are many books out there that are very good reads, but not that many that "grab" you. My only disappointment is that your next book does not come out until next year!
Thank you for whisking me away to a different time and place, and I look forward to many more books to come.—Cheryl from England

I've also always been fascinated by the Tower of London and I was totally caught up in your story about the executioner's daughter. What an imaginative angle and a wonderful love story...*sigh*. Thank you for the awesome read. It brought tears to my eyes at the most unexpected moments. I totally recommended it to one of my writing buddies who says she'll read anything with a hot man and a kilt on the cover.—Chi from Missouri

I just finished your book, Her One Desire, and had to write to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Broc is now at the top of my "Favorite Hero" list.
Her One Desire is exactly the kind of book I enjoy the most. The story was fast paced, suspenseful, and full of wonderful historical details that didn't overpower the love story. I really liked how you wrote Lizzy. She was intelligent, courageous and very likable. I can't wait until Highland Dragon is released. Like Her One Desire, it will have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm right in the middle of Her One Desire, work has kept me so busy I haven't been able to finish it yet… but one of [my friends] called me to tell me that it was one of the best books she's read all year. So of course we spent 30 minutes talking about why we loved it, and I had to stop the conversation short because I'm not done with it yet!—Marrisa

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I am absolutely loving HER ONE DESIRE. I started it yesterday and was up until 4:00am because I couldn't put it down. Broc and Lizzy are fantastic together and he is a hero - one to die for.
While Broc is an amazing hero and he has all the qualities that I look for in a historical hero; strong, dependable, honorable and willing to die for the woman he loves - it is Lizzy who makes this book with her strength and her courage. As my frustration with historicals grows because they've become 'too modern' and my biggest annoyance is the heroine has become GI Jane in a corset, resembling a 21st century heroine rather than a heroine true to her time - I loved Lizzy! She shows that a historical heroine's character doesn't have to be drastically changed to placate today's readers who get offended by the past. She is totally kicking ass with her quite determination and her newfound strength and I'm not even done with the book yet.
You did a fabulous job with Lizzy - I'm almost at the end and she is so lovely and she's simply one of the best heroines I've read in a long time.—Charina
