      Hey Conseula--If you have not read any of her books before you should start with the Hideaway series. All of them are good. Also her Man of Fate, Fantasy and Fortune series. Or her Whitfield sisters series: Long time coming, The sweetest tempation, and Taken by Storm. I'm a fan so all of her stuff is good to me.

      Happy Reading!

      Dee,

      I loved Broken Promises. I wanted to strangle Georgia May, ole' bat. She was so confused I am suprised Matilda came out sane and Johnny Ray bless his heart. His dad was nuts and him (Johnny's dad) and Georgia May needed to hook up and sail away in a boat with holes in it. Poor Jerome I felt so bad for him as well. I was so glad that he found the truth about Matilda even if was over 30 years past due. I loved the family, and the different elements that came into play. Will Bobby have his book coming out as well?

      By the way can you tell me the release for your upcoming books through Red Rose Publishing?

      I am currently reading Something Like Love by Beverly Jenkins, and I am loving me some Neil July wow. I have read A Chance at Love by Beverly Jenkins which was another hit. I have read Teachers Pet, Night of Desire, Love out Loud by Marilyn Lee also and I have become a fan of Ms. Lee's books as well.


      Thanks and as always happy reading,

      Roxanna

      I am so glad you enjoyed Broken Promises. I'll tell you, I wanted to strangle Georgia May a few times. She had me abusing my keyboard when I'd write scenes with her in therm. LOL.

      Now Jerome, he was the man. If I were him, Georgia May would be dead and I'd be in jail...Nah, I would have gotten off for temporary insanity. Whew howdy she worked my last nerve.

      I don't have a story for Bobby yet. I've been thinking of one for him, I just can't find the right woman for him. With as laid back as he is, she needs to be high strung. Eventually she'll come to me and they'll give me their story. I know I sound crazy, but that's how it works for me.

      I don't have a release date for my next book with Red Rose (they don't give dates until a few months before release usually). I'll let everyone know when it's out.

      It's called Jodie's Choice and is another women's fiction (I always write romantic tales, but they aren't traditional romance). The family dynamics in Jodie's Choice are also interesting.

      Anywhoooo, thanks for checking Broken Promises out.

      Jodie's Choice
      Jodie Shell has never left her family farm, never heard of print media or many of the technologies of the modern society, and never knew love until Ashton Tolliver came her way.

      Dr. Ashton Tolliver has known Linda Shell his entire life, so knows she doesn’t have children. When Linda is in a car accident and pleads with Ashton to go to her farm and watch after her daughter, he is sure he is about to make the trip to see a beloved pet. The beautiful, vivacious woman who answers the door is definitely not a pet. Ashton sets out to save Jodie, but soon finds he is fighting against love.
