Mary Connealy recommends

The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper (2009)
(Women of the West , book 1)
Kathleen Y'Barbo
"The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper is a fast-paced story full of fun, action, drama, and love."

Magnolia Summer (2018)
(Southern Seasons, book 1)
Melanie Dickerson
"I'm always amazed at the way Melanie Dickerson creates a world. Her writing is as fresh and unique as anyone I know and I am always pulled in the story and taken far away on a wonderful, romantic, and action-packed journey."

Out of the Embers (2020)
(Mesquite Springs, book 1)
Amanda Cabot
"Amanda Cabot has written an intriguing, chilling mystery, and she winds it through the pages of a sweet romance in a way that made me keep turning the pages fast to see what was going to happen next. An absolutely excellent read."

The Debutante's Code (2021)
(Thorndike & Swann Regency Mystery, book 1)
Erica Vetsch
"I am a big Regency romance fan and I love what Erica Vetsch brings to this genre. The suspense on top of the lords and ladies is just excellent fun. And this one, The Debutante's Code, is the best so far. Absolutely impossible to put down once I started."

The Heart of the Mountains (2022)
Pepper Basham
"The Heart of the Mountains is a world created with exceptional skills by Pepper Basham. It immersed me in the mountain life until I could see the scenery, smell the plants, hear the mountain breeze and the bird calls. All of that was wonderful, but more than that was the way I felt as I read. The hurt, the love, the longing, the loss, the fear, the joy. Basham created a beautiful, emotional work of art. I enjoyed every word."
