Melissa Jagears: This or That

The Writer & her Book (11)

There’s something really special about Melissa Jagears writing. I love her historical romances with authentic, flawed, and endearing characters, and her latest, Romancing the Bride, is no exception. I’ve always enjoyed having Melissa visit Relz Reviewz, so it’s great to have her back sharing about her preferences. I hope you enjoy getting to know the writer behind the book and I encourage to invest in this terrific story – you can read my review here, if you need more convincing!

A Peek Inside Merciless by Tamara Leigh

The Writer & her Book (10)

The uber talented Tamara Leigh released her latest medieval romance novel today, and I couldn’t be happier or more proud of my friend. Merciless takes readers back to the beginning, when the Wulfrith name was yet to be synonomous with the the knights of the highest order who can be found in Tamara’s Age of Faith series. The first in her new Age of Conquest series, Merciless is a must read, especially for those of you who have devoured her stories of the Wulfrith family. Actually, especially for those who haven’t, too. Everybody, okay?!

Here’s the lowdown on Tamara!

But on her way to London FanFest for the cast reveal, disaster strikes: their leading man is injured in a motorcycle accident… and his replacement is the one person she hoped she’d never seen again.
