Dreaming of Provence

In the beauty of Provence, where romance can blossom…

Julia Bellerman lost her husband to cancer, and now she must fulfill his deathbed wish to scatter his ashes in Provence. And to take Ryder Wilding with her. Ryder, her husband’s best friend. And the man she fell in love with a lifetime ago.

Can love overcome grief and guilt to give Julia and Ryder a second chance?

Wishing in Rome

Rome, the city of wishes…

Dana Shaw’s best friend dies suddenly and leaves her a bequest to fund the trip to Rome they’d planned to take together. And to make a wish in the Trevi Fountain. But how do you make an impossible wish for the only thing you truly want— to have your best friend back with you?

Yet a chance meeting with Marshall Garrison in the Colosseum changes everything, and Dana just might learn that it’s never too late for wishes to come true…

Dancing in Ireland

A romance to get your feet tapping…

Rose Christopher takes a job as the live-in caregiver of a feisty 87-year-old widow and finds Agnes to be a delight. Too bad Declan Delaney, the man who hired Rose, seems so cold-hearted and rude. But then Declan begins to grow on Rose. And when Rose and Declan whisk Agnes off for the trip of a lifetime to Ireland, Agnes packs her matchmaker hat in her suitcase. Can she help two people with mothballed hearts learn to dance together in Ireland?

What Readers Are Saying:

Last book in the series

Agnes was shrewd and ruthless in her matchmaking efforts, but Rose and Declan had scads of chemistry to enhance their efforts. I shed a few tears when Agnes asked Rose if she’d stay until the end!!!!!! Bittersweet. I wish Rose wouldn’t have been such a martyr and so guilt ridden. It was a waste if… Read more “Last book in the series”

WISHING IN ROME is a standalone read with a happy ending. There are a few sexy scenes if that is an issue for you. The main part of the story is set in Rome.

I thoroughly enjoyed this second chance romance between two older divorced people who didn’t think they would marry again. Rose had been married thirty years and had spent the last five taking care of her mother with dementia and then her husband lost his job and left and then her mother died within weeks. She… Read more “Fun read”

Great Story-Romance doesn’t end at 50

I liked reading about Dana, her thoughts and fears, and how she evolved. I loved reading about Rome, remembering places I’ve been. And I loved reading Marshal’s thoughts, and how the relationship between Dana and Marshal changed from friendship to love.

Hope and a Holiday

I don’t usually do second chance romance. They always seem contrived, but this one was chalked full of honesty and hope. I enjoyed it completely.

Amazon Reviewer

Enjoyable!

Even though it was a bit predictable, this book was quite enjoyable. To those who have been to Rome, it brought back beautiful memories. The characters were real and well described.

Love This Series

Not much for writing reviews but this book and the series have become my favorite. I love Agnes and her attitude. I think everyone needs an Agnes in their life. Declan and Rose, thanks to Agnes, was a love story that was meant to be. I will be reading these books again.

Amazon Reviewer

another great story!

All three books in the series are wonderful perfect older characters showing romance can happen at any age! Enjoyed all three

Amazon Reviewer

very real & good

It was great reading a romance that was true to life about people, middle aged, rather than just young things, and what they’ve got going on in their life. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It was a very enjoyable read.

Really Good!

This is the best romance I’ve read in years! The main characters are both mature adults, acting like mature adults, who are beset with the same angst that most adults struggle with. And I really enjoyed the backdrop of Rome.

Amazon Reviewer

great read

Predictable ending but still enjoyed it. It was nice seeing an older couple meeting and falling in love. It can happen!

Amazon Reviewer

Heartful

Swept away, once again, with this new addition to the series. I love that the story is realistic. I love that the characters have a more mature thought process and have a great story to share with the bonus of a new chance to find love. Not even a boring sentence, entire story is full… Read more “Heartful”
