This was her first book. I'm pretty sure time travel romances were very new back in 1980. I love her writing and she can really tell a story when she puts her heart into. I loved The Gamester but not so much The Marriage Mart. I really hope her family releases Gallant Lady in ebook form next. It's the one I want to read most by her.

I don't mind typos. I mean if you can read Kristen Ashely you get use to that sort of thing. It kind of the norm in Self publishing. I'd get really surprised if a book didn't have some editing issues these days.

I loved her books too! Hope they publish more. Still have a few in paper. And though it isn't regency, in the customers who bought etc banner underneath I was excited to see Helen MacInnes books! I loved those also. They were what I would call romantic suspense. On second thought guess they weren't exactly romances, more suspense with a romance developing.

Wish You Were Here (Amazon) by Beth Vogt

Kissing the wrong guy days before her scheduled wedding leads Allison to become a runaway bride. But can it also lead to happily ever after?

Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom.

Still, kissing the groom’s brother, Daniel, in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake? It seems Allison’s life is nothing but mistakes at this point. Daniel’s adventures—chronicled through a collection of postcards—have always appealed to Allison’s well-hidden desire for something more. But how can betraying her fiancé’s trust lead to a true happily ever after?

Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Recognizing she doesn’t have all the answers won’t be easy because she’s used to being in control. To find her way again, she will have to believe that God has a plan for her—one outside her carefully defined comfort zone—and find the strength to let Him lead.

Days Like This (Jackson Falls Series) [Kindle Edition]
Laurie Breton (Author)


http://www.amazon.com/Days-Jackson-F...154606011_f_25

The author of COMING HOME brings you
another touching story about love and marriage and family.


What would you do if your brand-new husband discovered he had a teenage daughter? One who's hurt and angry and resentful? One who's coming to live with you?

For two decades, their friendship survived the roller coaster ride to fame and the tumult of her first marriage to his best friend. Now that they've finally found their way home to each other, Casey Fiore and Rob MacKenzie are about to face another challenge, one that neither of them could have anticipated: Rob's teenage daughter, Paige.

Marriage is never easy, and the transition from friends to lovers can be awkward. Still haunted by the ghost of Casey's first husband, charismatic rock icon Danny Fiore, they've spent the last year tiptoeing around the elephant in the living room. While Rob struggles with long-held insecurities, Casey is gradually blossoming into the woman she was always meant to be. But with change comes uncertainty, and even as she finds herself overwhelmed by the ferocity of her feelings for her new husband, Casey wrestles with divided loyalties and the unexpected changes this marriage has wrought in her.

Then the fifteen-year-old daughter Rob never knew about comes to live with them, and the quiet life they've carved out for themselves in Casey's rural Maine hometown is turned upside down as they're forced into instant parenthood. Paige MacKenzie is prickly as a porcupine, and despite Rob's efforts, she refuses to build any kind of relationship with the father she's convinced deliberately deserted her.

As Casey and Rob face the challenges of parenting a rebellious teenager while struggling to become a family, they unravel secrets and discover truths about themselves and their relationship, truths that, if not dealt with, could threaten the future of their marriage.
