I didn't make it through either of those series.

However, I loved the Lost Hearts books so much that I own them in print and digital versions, and the Fortune Hunters quartet is one of a very few romantic suspense series on my keeper shelves. <i>Gabriel's Gift</i> is on my Kindle, and I have promised myself time to read it very soon.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-40248234660247547522014-12-04T10:34:56.150-05:002014-12-04T10:34:56.150-05:00Love, love, love epilogues! *LOL* I'm not sure...Love, love, love epilogues! *LOL* I'm not sure which secondary characters I'm still waiting for...but I imagine it's one of Elizabeth Hoyt's characters. *LOL* <br /><br />And I loved Dodd's governess series!!
