More Than Neighbors
by Shannon Stacey
"Does a fence really make for good neighbors"
Posted June 14, 2020

Every romantic soul thinks of the words “you had me at hello” and sighs. It’s unavoidable. Falling in love with Cam, Meredith, and Sophie in MORE THAN NEIGHBORS by Shannon Stacey is equally unavoidable. Kismet.

by Jennifer Ryan
"Two series join forces for a story with a powerful message."

"A riveting addition to an amazing series. . ."
Posted March 5, 2020

I’ve often wondered how an author can outdo themself. You know top the last novel they write. In particular during a series. Each book in a series should have the ability to stand on its own – or at least work if read out of sequence. Jude Read more...

Re: Heartache Falls (11:34am April 28, 2011):

Okay I'm hooked - definitely have three more books to add to my must read list. Dogs love us unconditionally - you can't really say that about anyone or anything else. My Maxwell will always have a special place in our hearts along with our Coco and Shani. Now we have a rescue grand doggie Annie who loves her little girl sooo much.
