I loved her historical novels, but had a hard time when she went Contemporary. Soon I started liking her new novels. I so looked forward to this book, but it wasn't up to her usual greatness. It wasn't bad, just not as good. I would recommend any and all her historical novels...especially the Rose series...I think the first one was about orphans,especially the girl, but a few more came out abot the men.Shari Junghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17691186352434492578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206298082780423356.post-17939735565288525132011-08-17T18:07:57.209-07:002011-08-17T18:07:57.209-07:00Great review and I love your site.

I have this one on the Nook to read this weekend. <br /><br />Try her other contemps but start off with Heartbreaker. You will not be sorry. Her historicals are good, too. <br /><br />Let me know how you liked her other stuff.<br /><br />maw1725@gmail.comHarlie Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01866226921079232570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206298082780423356.post-20514606247612166962011-08-17T18:05:56.518-07:002011-08-17T18:05:56.518-07:00Where she is best is within historical romance and...Where she is best is within historical romance and is probably my favorite author in the genre, but this one disappointed me.
