I have been working my way through Debra Webb's Colby Series. <br /><br />I have read the Super Romances in the past and they are always worth it. As you said, it is nice to get back to real people with real lives we can relate to.

Some of her books are among my all-time keepers. I too am looking forward to the new ventures she's undertaking.

Once you start reading, it can open up a whole new world of other books and genres. What could be better?!<br />Right now I'm catching up on my Connie Brockway in preperation for her new ebook sequels and re-releases.fsbuchlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928364594015643639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-41854363638684296722011-06-24T17:18:25.894-04:002011-06-24T17:18:25.894-04:00Deb, I think any of the three are great reads.

Molly was a real discovery for me. I've just finished the O'Neills. One of the things I adore about her books is that she doesn't tie everything up with a big pink bow at the end. The characters stay true to themselves for good or bad, and sometimes that's for bad.

As I said, just at the moment I'm on a Harlequin binge.
