Love Lessons with the Texas Billionaire’ has just received it’s first review from Manicreaders, and it’s 5 STARS!! Author, Jan Bowles has officially won me over as a fan. I didn’t think she could top her first novel The Return but with her latest one she has done just that. Jack had the Texas charm that you couldn’t help but fall for, even when he was smirking. Eva is a spitfire. She really tested Jack’s patience. No matter how much she pushed his buttons, he was gentle with her; exactly why I liked him. This story is a feel good book. Be warned as this story may have you laughing and crying. Love Lessons with the Texas Billionaire is a must read! You better pick up a copy of this book soon before it flies off the shelves — Cheryl, Manicreaders You can read the rest of the review HERE

I think Jinger did a lovely job with this cover. To me it is very romantic. In case you don’t know what the book is about, I’ll just add the blurb: Whilst on assignment in Iraq, English TV presenter and journalist Robert Tremayne is captured by the Islamic Jihad and held hostage. His soul mate, Marielle, can barely come to terms with her loss but tries to move on with her life. Two years later Robert is discovered alive. Marielle is overjoyed, but her life has changed beyond all recognition, and the man she loved is now very different. His time in Iraq has left him cold, emotionless and detached. There’s much to tell, and each wants desperately to return to the way things once were.With the past always there to come between them, will they be able to recapture their lost love? Will they ever be happy again? Since its release I have had four reviews. My favourite is obviously the one from Manicreaders. 4.5 STARS: “The Return is an amazing book… I picked this book because it sounded good but didn’t realize just how great it would turn out to be. The relationship that Robert and Marielle shared was both…

I finally received my first review for The Return from Mind Fog Reviews: “This book, at times, reminds me of Castaway the movie. The book is well written and has a couple of hot and steamy love scenes for those of us that love the hot stuff in a romance novel. The cute little father and daughter moments are so cute that it makes your heart melt.” 4 BookmarksCarol Langstroth, Manager Mind Fog Reviews Then later this week I received another review for The Pen and Muse: “What I liked: Jan tells such a beautiful story about a couple who love each other very much, but yet to the war things have changed. Jan portrays the life of these two characters as a real life drama that you could sit and watch unfold. Positively brilliant! A must read for those who love contemporary romance or are just fans of romance!”4 StarsPosted by Denisse AliceaThe Pen and Muse I am very happy, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.
