Anytime a person puts words on paper for others to read, words to be devoured by thousands, then this person/writer is offered a huge opportunity to offer insights to the reader.  As a writer, I like to think I provide my readers with something besides entertainment.  It’s not as if I want to actually teach, [...]

Sandy M’s review of Don’t Mess with Texas by Christie Craig Contemporary Romance published by Forever 1 Sep 11 I always have the best time when I read a Christie Craig book.

LynneC’s review of Doukakis’s Apprentice by Sarah Morgan Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 20 Sept 11 Sarah Morgan writes books about poor but feisty heroines and rich but unjerky heroes.
