Reviews

""This was a really awesome book loved Jace and Leslie I loved their story how they got married had kids. I loved their suspense on why he was being targeted. It threw you for a curve loved it so much."" ""In a spectacularly written story, full of love, heartache and drama, the author captures the complexity of modern relationships in a witty, relatable, (and very sexy!) way. Leslie and Jace are fire on the page."" ""I loved Book 1 of the Romancing Our Roots series and I am just as enamored with Book 2. Can't wait for more!! (BTW I read this book in 1 day. COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN)"" ""This book has a lot of layers! I enjoyed the plot, it was definitely a nail biter towards the end and a puzzle of many pieces. I had fun guessing at where the dots would connect and joining Jace and Leslie through their lives."" ""From the very first chapter, Lost Genes hooks you with its mix of small-town charm, sizzling romance, and high-stakes suspense. Jace Lassiter, a Marine-turned-deputy, is ready to settle down, while Leslie Hamilton is on the run from heartbreak, determined to start fresh. Their chemistry is instant, but secrets and danger threaten to tear them apart. The intriguing premise immediately draws you in, making you eager to see how their journey unfolds.""

Author Information

I write books I like to read: funny, sexy contemporary romances with a touch of history and romantic suspense--alpha heroes, smarter heroines. Pretty covers with spice to entice. Her Side of History was about ancestors, reimagining what life was like in 1869-1945. The first series I wrote, The Twirler Quartet, featured Baby Boomers in their 1960s heyday-- teen pregnancy, war, race riots, hippies, closeted lesbians. My Romancing Our Roots series explores how DNA discoveries have led to drama.
