"Heartwarming, Heart wrenching, and Heart pounding,"

C.H. Admirand brings the Old West alive in her award winning Irish Western Series. This Southern born, Northern bred author will curl your toes with angst and pleasure in her realistic Western romances with spunky heroines and tough heroes.

In her newest release A GIFT FROM HOME, the fourth book in her Irish Western Series, C. H. starts out with a knockout punch to her errant hero, John Reilly that will have you already loving her story and laughing as her heroine, Jessi Fahy, lands herself in a pickle. One that is only the start of the sparks that will fly and the trouble that will come.

"The temporarily disbanded Committee for the Betterment of Emerson is at it again! This time they accuse Jessi Fahy of setting fire to Peterson’s Stable, injuring Mr. Peterson, brawling in public and ruining the good name of the Flaherty’s foreman, John Reilly.

Jessi Fahy’s heart broke when her childhood hero, John Reilly, left County Cork, Ireland for America. Five and a half years later when he doesn’t come home as promised, Jessi and Mrs. Reilly put their heads together to hatch a plan that includes John’s favorite recipes, the Reilly family Bible and Mrs. Reilly’s secret…her middle son’s chin is as fragile as her best china cake plate!

John Reilly is expecting a package from home, something light as a feather and twice as sweet. Little does he realize the package isn’t the baked goods he’s been dreaming of (never thinking they’d be spoiled from all those weeks on the boat and traveling cross country) but a grownup version of the thirteen-year-old girl who used to follow him everywhere.

When John Reilly doesn’t return to County Cork, Ireland, Jessi Fahy boards a ship and tracks him down. She arrives in Emerson, Colorado, hot, tired, and dusty, but he doesn’t recognize her. Five and a half years of waiting in vain, combined with a horrendous voyage and the realization that John doesn’t remember her, have Jessi fisting her hand and testing Mrs. Reilly’s secret weapon. With a wicked right cross, big John Reilly goes down like a stone."

Tessa Dare

Three Nights with a Scoundrel brings a fulfilling end to Tessa Dare’s latest trilogy, the “Stud Club” series with a perfect blend of heart felt romance and mystery that runs throughout the course of the series.

“The third time is the charm. 

The bastard son of a nobleman, Julian Bellamy is now polished to perfection, enthralling the ton with wit and charm while clandestinely plotting to ruin the lords, ravish the ladies, and have the last laugh on a society that once spurned him.

His insistence on marrying her off only reinforces her intent to prove he is the only man for her. Obsessed with catching a killer, Julian sinks back to the gutters of his youth, forcing Lily to reach out with a sweet, reckless passion Julian can’t resist. Can her desire for a scoundrel save them both–or will dangerous secrets threaten more than their tender love?”

Once upon a time—yesterday actually—I had the great pleasure of reading a delightfully fractured fairy tale by Eloisa James. Released on July 27^th, A Kiss at Midnight puts an enticing new twist on the classic story of the little cinder girl finding a great love with her handsome Prince Charming.

 Forced by her stepmother to attend a ball, Kate meets a prince… and decides he’s anything but charming. A clash of wits and wills ensues, but they both know their irresistible attraction will lead nowhere. For  Gabriel is promised to another woman—a princess whose hand in marriage will fulfill his ruthless ambitions.

 Godmothers and glass slippers notwithstanding, this is one fairy tale in which destiny conspires to destroy any chance that Kate and Gabriel might have a happily ever after.

 Unless a prince throws away everything that makes him noble…

 Unless a dowry of an unruly heart trumps a fortune…

 Unless one kiss at the stroke of midnight changes everything. “
