Always the Designer Never the Bride
Sandra D. Bricker delivers another delightful romance in the third book of what I’ve dubbed the Tanglewood Brides Series but in reality it’s the Emma Ray Creation series. Always the Designer Never the Bride features Audrey Regan a wedding dress designer on her last thread. Audrey returns to Atlanta and the Tanglewood Inn to be in her best friend’s wedding and fears the dress she designed for her friend may be her last creation unless she can get a celebrity client. This book includes all the characters from the other books in the series which made it a little confusing for this name challenged reader, but eventually I was able…

Injustice For All
Although Injustice For All, by Robin Caroll is a Suspense and not a romance I LOVED it. There was just enough romance to satisfy me and the story was so well written it was hard to put down. If you’re a fan of Dee Henderson I think you’d enjoy this book. Incidentally Dee has a new book coming out this fall.:) When Remington Ryatt witnesses the murder of her godfather at the hand of two FBI agents she flees. She knows these men and suspects they’d stop at nothing to silence her. She takes the emergency money her godfather keeps in the house and runs creating a new identity for herself…
