REVIEW: Western Weddings by Hart, Bridges, and Sands

June 13, 2008

Western Weddings Wendy the Super Librarian's review of Western Weddings by Jillian Hart, Kate Bridges & Charlene Sands
Historical romance anthology released by Harlequin Historical 1 May 08

Many readers don't care for anthologies because they can be wildly uneven affairs. I tend to think of them as my comfort reads. I find anthologies just the ticket for when my brain is mush, my attention span is on par with the life cycle of a fruit fly, and the mere thought of any story over 100 pages causes my blood pressure to spike. Couple that with my love affair for Harlequin Historical westerns, and it's no wonder that I plowed through Western Weddings in record time.

30 Days And 30 Knights: Jillian Hart’s Insane Summer

June 6, 2008

hh-spotlight-logo.jpgLike a lot of readers I have a tendency to "collect" authors. Being a huge fan of the Harlequin Historical line, it should be no surprise then that I have several lengthy backlists sitting in my TBR pile. One of those authors is Jillian Hart, and it was during a conversation with Sybil a while back that she mentioned how much she enjoyed her HH titles. That was enough for me. I pulled out my copy of The Horseman and fell desperately, hopelessly in love. As part of TGTBTU's month-long spotlight on Harlequin Historicals, Ms. Hart agreed to sit down to an interview. Enjoy!

Dear Harlequin,

September 29, 2007

crying.jpgDear Harlequin,

Why do you hate me? Haven't I always been there for you? Holding your hand, loving you, pimping you out to all my friends like a good reader.

Harl babe I even had Lawson holding a HSR and laughing at it, only to stop and say well hmmm I could read this one (Make-Believe Mom by Elaine Grant ). I know we have had our ups and downs. But I have TRIED to be there for you, time and time again!

Don't you think it is only fair you give back, just a lil? Honestly I am beginning to think you just don't appreciate me. ::sob:: I understand... it will never be just the two of us. I do! But can't you at least TRY to stop hurting me so!

Is it too much to ask that you mark your upcoming books with what line they are in? IS IT?!? Mass Market Paperback, tells me jack shit and just makes me go well duh. Do you know how happy I was when I saw Homespun Bride by Jillian Hart available for Pre-order (Feb 12, 2008). Homespun Bride... what does that make you think of? YES! Historical!

I Sqqqquuuueeeee'ed! I told Lawson something wonderful was happening!!! I was gonna email Wendy, Jillian Hart was going to have a new Harlequin Historical! Yes all those exclamation marks were needed. But you cut me to the quick Harlequin, Jillian Hart isn't returing to Harlequin Historical ::sob:: but kicking off a new steeple hill inspirational line ::double sob::.

You are cruel. I cried. I may never recover. ::cries:: Stop it or I swear I will quit you! I could do it too! Shut up gwen, I could, if I tried really really hard.

Crushed,
Sybil

:: just a note, me think someone else cried cuz this was really put into draft last weekend and now amazon shows it as: Homespun Bride (Love Inspired Historical) (Mass Market Paperback) and not just (Mass Market Paperback)::

Go team Amazon! For those of you that like inspy, I highly rec this author. You should check it out and tell us how it is.
Homespun Bride (Feb., $5.50) by Jillian Hart. When a young rancher rediscovers his now-blind high school sweethearts, they both must come to terms with broken dreams and the blessing of love.
