What My Readers Are Saying

“I like how the writer weaves in information about the locales and the habits and hobbies of the people who live there. You can tell she’s done a lot of research on the factual aspects and how people of the area really live. I also enjoyed that the reactions and relationships of the primary and secondary characters have depth. They do seem like real people and relationships.”

“Black sheep Camilla Lind has appeared through phone calls in previous books, so I was really happy to finally meet her. It was fun to see how this former irresponsible party girl who didn’t feel like she had a place in her family hierarchy found her identity, not by searching but by feeling her way through some tough and interesting situations. I also really liked hero Jared Richardson and the Wyoming setting.”

“Bayou Beckons is a fabulous read! Jared and Camilla are a perfect match. Loved reading the story of Camilla’s maturity. I feel like this was the best story in the series! The author has really made leaps and bounds in her writing! Can’t wait for the next in this series!”
