I loved Kathleen Korbel's SIMs and SDs back in the day.
The Ice Cream Man and
Edge of the World are particular favorites.
She is one of the rare authors I still read after a broken trust issue
Spoiler:
Re: Kendall Family series. The first book was written as a stand-alone though it was connected to an earlier book. Then she wrote a series with the hero's siblings. The series was a straight contemporary one. Only the last book she made into the first book of a paranormal trilogy set in Ireland with warring fairies, etc.
I have NO issue with her wanting to have tried her hand at paranormal (it was one of the first books in the Nocturne line), but it was totally out of place given the settings/plots of the other books in the series.
I would still rate
Jake's Way as one of my favorites by her, but I have to confess I pretend the last brother's book doesn't even exist
.
I have never gotten into her medical mysteries or historicals written as Eileen Dreyer though.

I miss their holiday anthologies. Not just the Christmas ones, but the Silhouette Summer Sizzlers, etc.
