Release day & a new starred review!

Release day usually means jittery excitement for most writers. Many of us do booksignings or spend the day blogging about the new release. But the icing on the cake? A nice review. The cherry on top of the icing? A great starred review. Booklist recently joined Library Journal in awarding this honor. 

*Secrets of a Scandalous Bride. “Expertly spiced with deliciously subtle sense of wit, deftly seasoned with a superbly nuanced cast of characters, and featuring a plot brimming with lusciously sensual romance and a dash of dangerous intrigue, Secrets of a Scandalous Bride, is Nash’s best book yet.” — John Charles for Booklist

**Starred review** Library Journal

Lovely reviews are pouring in for Secrets of a Scandalous Bride, which will be released on Feb. 23. Here’s the latest from Library Journal: **Starred Review** After successfully evading for two years the suit of a highly ranked military officer who threatens to ruin her late father’s reputation, Elizabeth Ashburton eventually encounters her nemesis and, finally has the courage and the unexpected assistance of notorious villain Rowland Manning to face up to the threat. VERDICT: Graced with empathetic characters, emotional intricacy, and unexpected plot twists, this final book in the “Widows Club” series ties up a variety of loose ends and is a perfectly delicious series finale.

November contest winner . . .

Congratulations to Jillian S. from Dayton, OH who won the November contest. A new contest is on site now!

Wonderful new story by Anna Campbell . . .

Just finished Captive of Sin, Anna Campbell’s newest novel. What I liked best about this novel is that both hero and heroine were deserving champions. I’ve loved all of Anna’s stories, but this one will hold a special place on my keeper shelf. The two great characters are both tortured yet  the horrors of their past cannot change the beauty of their innate generous natures. Move over Mr. Darcy and Eliza Bennett . . . Bravo, Anna!
