Sandy M’s review of An Unexpected Gentleman by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance published by Berkley 6 Dec 11 The elements of this book come together quite nicely to give readers what they’ve come to expect from Alissa Johnson. Revenge against a brother, an attraction that begins from afar, jealousy that leads to false accusations, and [...]

What a fun day we had with Alissa Johnson talking about making new friends, which her heroine in Nearly a Lady, Alissa’s latest book, must also do. Thanks to those of you who shared your experiences with us.

I had such fun reading this book. It’s one of those light, heart-warming, and funny stories that endears you to its characters right off. It keeps you smiling and chuckling, though you know that dark moment has to come for Gideon and Winnefred. So the anticipation mixed with the fun and laughter makes for a [...]

Making New Friends When I was about seven years old, my family made the short move from Zweibrucken, Germany, to the Landstuhl Air Force base.

Sandy M’s review of Nearly a Lady by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance published by Berkley 7 June 11 Alissa Johnson has it all as an author. Her writing is perfect for the Regency period; word choice, tone, inflection are flawless the way she strings her sentences together. Humor is something a lot of authors have [...]

Sandy M’s review of Destined to Last (Providence Series, Book 4) by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance published by Leisure Books 30 Mar 10 I’m very sad to see this series end. It’s been fun, entertaining, and very romantic. Ms. Johnson has been consistent with her characters and the main plot of the series in which [...]

We have more winners! First, however, we’d like to thank Alissa Johnson for giving us such a great day during her Duck Chat. It was a lot of fun and we’re glad you joined us, Alissa!

Glad you made it back to Duck Chat! Alissa Johnson is an historical author I discovered earlier this year. I love her work so much that I wanted to introduce her to those of you who have yet to discover her. Alissa’s Providence series has been a fun time for me so far, books following [...]

Sandy M’s review of McAlistair’s Fortune (Providence Series, Book 3) by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance released by Leisure 26 May 09 I don’t think I will ever tire of this series by Ms. Johnson. Of course, it won’t go on forever; I believe only one more book is forthcoming. But I’ve so loved all the [...]

Sandy M’s review of As Luck Would Have It by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance published by Leisure 30 Sep 08 I reviewed Ms. Johnson’s Tempting Fate a couple of months and she’s become a favorite of mine with just one book. I absolutely love her voice and her characters are quite engaging. Tempting is her [...]

Sandy M’s review of Tempting Fate by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance released by Leisure 27 Jan 09 Another new author for me and she had me hooked from the beginning.  Her voice is just terrific and she made the friends-turn-lovers story work for me.  I’ve never really been a fan of having friends become lovers, [...]

C2′s review of As Luck Would Have It by Alissa Johnson Historical Romance release by Dorchester 30 Sept 08 Since this is my debut here at TGTBTU, it seems appropriate that I’m reviewing a debut author. Of course, it could have gone terribly, terribly wrong – the book, I mean. You may judge the review [...]
