Re: Wicked Highland Ways (12:30pm June 4, 2019):

The morning dew sparkling on the green grass. Crocus,
daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips rising out of the warm
earth after a long slumber. The trees covered with
chartreuse buds or fragrant flowers. Featherless chicks
poking their hungry beaks out of the nest. Copper-colored
fawns frolicking around their mothers' legs... These are
just a few of my favorites things about spring.

Re: Apparent Power (12:05pm May 12, 2019):

I am a fan of dystopian fiction. I just can't get enough of
it. Which, considering my passion is researching and writing
about family history, I admit that this is an odd match...a
person who lives in the past who enjoys contemplating future
apocalyptic scenarios.

After reading the synopsis for the book, Apparent Power, I
was intrigued. Most dystopian fiction is told from the
teenager/young adult point-of-view. As such, these tales are
often focus on the protagonist's experiences with little to
no consideration of other's viewpoints. But what if the main
character is a mother? Suddenly, the story shifts to a more
inclusive viewpoint. Not only is the main character concerned
about herself, she also has children to consider.

Re: American Duchess (8:35pm April 18, 2019):

As a reader and reviewer of historical fiction, especially
when it takes place in WWII, I have been looking forward to
reading American Duchess. Consuelo Vanderbilt occupied a
world of privilege but had little power to live her life as
she chose.

I first "discovered" Consuelo Vanderbilt when I read the
book, That Churchill Woman, the story of Jennie Jerome,
another American heiress who married into the English
nobility. Consuelo Vanderbilt was only a minor character in
that book, but I wanted to read more about her.

Re: A Lord Apart (9:10am March 28, 2019):

I have actively researched genealogy for myself and others for
more than 20 years. With each discovery, I feel I have solved a
mystery.

Because family history is my passion, any book that deals with
this topic is a must-read for me, especially novels written by
Jane Ashford. For these reasons, I am looking forward to reading
A Lord Apart!

Re: The Summer Cottage (3:12pm March 26, 2019):

I hope to read this book when the weather warms, preferably on
the beach under a palapa although I suspect my reading
location will probably be a lounge chair on my front porch.

It sounds like a fun read. And let's face it, anytime there
are men in kilts, I'm in! :)

Re: Just Once (9:53pm January 18, 2019):

I love Lori Handeland's books, especially the Sisters of the
Craft series. Thanks for the opportunity to read Just Once.

Re: A Bound Heart (9:43pm January 18, 2019):

I have read reviews of A Bound Heart and have been looking
forward to reading it. Thanks for the opportunity to win a
couple and for the yummy shortbread recipe too!

Re: Texas Legacy (8:55am January 16, 2019):

I especially loved the heroes of Lorraine Heath's Hellions of
Havisham series. I can't wait to meet the men of her Texas
Trilogy!

Re: Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish (12:13pm December 1, 2018):

I also would love to read Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish. Even though I am a parent,
I can't imagine what I would do if a child was abandoned on my doorstep. I look
forward to reading all about Lady Sophie's joy and missteps on caring for an
unexpected baby.

Re: Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish (12:05pm December 1, 2018):

I absolutely love reading collections of historical romance stories. I always keep
one or two in my glove compartment as my go-to reading between kids' sporting
events. And if those stories take place during the holiday season, more the better. I
can't wait to read 'Tis the Season!

Re: Earl to the Rescue (9:34pm November 28, 2018):

I love your Dukes Sons' series and am eagerly looking forward to reading your
latest book, Earl to the Rescue. Thanks!

Re: Cowboy Christmas Jubilee (10:22pm November 2, 2018):

As far as I am concerned, any time is a good time to read a Christmas romance. I
am looking forward to reading Cowboy Christmas Jubilee.
