Ms. Rawlings went the self-publish route for her Eagle Harbor series, set in the small town of Eagle Harbor on the shores of Lake Superior. She has other inspirational romance authors as editors, and I think they should stick to writing. Editing has a different skill set than writing and this book w...

Each story in this collection of historical/inspirational romances left me smiling. These "9 romances [that] grow from marriage partnerships formed out of necessity" are heart-warming tales of couples coming together, often for the sake of family and survival. Whether it is an inheritance with a mar...

I’m a sucker for slow burn, innocent but passion filled romances. And the prospect of a story like that, set in late 1900… swoons.Everett Cline has been through his fair share of brides. Sounds like a player, right? Wrong! Poor boy was for all intents and purposes stood up by his brides, wait for it...

Melissa Jagears "Love By The Letter" is an interesting story about more than romance set in a mid 1800 midwest.
