4 Star Review

“A bit dark at times, Goodwin’s Regency is filled with emotions, affairs of the heart and a flesh-and-blood hero who isn’t perfect but deserves points for vowing to make the lady of his heart his wife.  The heroine also is worthy of kudos.” ~ Romantic Times

“Ms Howell writes a passionate tale of romance that takes place in the Scottish Highlands. Her descriptions of the Highlands and its people makes you think you are there. Ms. Howell has never failed to captivate me with her stories. She is on my auto buy list and all her books are keepers.” ~ Robin

“AMERICAN DREAMS is an interesting erotic tale. CS LeMone gives a candid view of a man’s “perfect” life.  I enjoyed the writing and the conflict between the characters. Matthew is a likable character, though he makes mistakes. AMERICAN DREAMS is not a story to pass up. ” Lacey ~ Romance Junkies
