Hooked on a Series

As a reader, I’m drawn to series, though. I love following continuing characters and seeing their growth and development over time. You think I would have… Read More
Alexa Aston
Alexa Aston’s historical romances use history as a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circumstances, where their intense desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love. She is the author of The Knights of Honor, a 10-book medieval romance series that takes place in 14th Century England and centers on the de Montfort family. Each romance focuses on the code of chivalry that bound knights of this era. A native Texan, Alexa lives with her husband in a Dallas suburb, where she eats her fair share of dark chocolate and plots out stories while she walks every morning. She enjoys reading, watching movies, and can’t get enough of Fixer Upper or Game of Thrones. Alexa also writes romantic suspense, western historical, and standalone medieval novels as Lauren Linwood.

We Want No Stinkin’ War!
By Gina Danna The American Civil War – why would I write a story during this timeframe? All stories written about this time are all just Gone With The Wind in a different style….

Marriage Isn’t For Everyone—Or is it?
by Bronwen Evans It’s release day for A LOVE TO REMEMBER, book #7 in my Disgraced Lords series. I had the most fun writing this book, because both the hero and heroine had an aversion to marriage—each for good reason. But as in any good romance something had to change, and as usual it took… Read More
