Can Enemies Really Fall in Love? and #Giveaway
You know the story: two bitter rivals can’t stand each other one day—and the next day they’re in love (or at least in deep physical attraction). And I have to confess, it’s a story I don’t buy into. So why do I love the enemies to love trope, then? I’ll confess that I didn’t used […]
When the Series Ends (& giveaway)
They say that all good things must come to an end. I know as readers, that’s hard when the good thing in question is the series that we’ve been gobbling up. We’ve grown attached to the characters and the setting and everything about that series that kept us drumming our fingers wishing the author would […]
Series Boxed Sets: Yea or Nay? + giveaway
In recent years we’ve seen a huge uptick in the sales of boxed sets for books, especially eBooks. I’ve been part of half a dozen MABS—that’s multi-author box sets—over the last few years myself, and as a reader I love those because I can get to sample new-to-me names. But today, I’m talking about single […]

It’s so rewarding to see a relationship that didn’t work out the first time be redeemed and the characters finally get their happily ever after! My latest book, […]
Service Dogs by Deb Kastner
I am super excited to talk more today about Opening Her Heart (Rocky Mountain Family #2). The six-book series introduces the Winslow siblings who own a Christmas tree farm, and a service dog program called A New Leash on Love. I’m having such a wonderful time researching what different service dogs (and how many breeds!!) […]
Fun Dates
February is the month where it’s okay to talk about all things love, hearts, and romance. But I love love, so I refuse to contain my happiness to one month. Romance is not dead. Love is not a thing of the past. Commitment is still a wonderful bond that we should seek with the Lord, […]

Dear Dakota…
Dear Dakota, I know you told me to leave well enough alone. I tried. I really did. Okay, I didn’t try. Sorry for lying. I believe everyone needs a second chance, even you. Even your son’s daddy, Travis Cavanagh. Not just for Toby’s sake, although it’s certainly ideal for every four-year-old to live with both […]
