My awesome publishing team shared that ISABEL AND THE ROGUE had received a wonderful review from Kirkus. I was thrilled because I was having a rough writing week, and this trade review was a lovely boost. I went to look up the review on their website a few days later…and imagine my absolute surprise when I realized that not only had Kirkus given the book a wonderful review, they gave ISABEL a STAR! I had no idea until I saw the little star on the cover and about dropped my phone on my face. I know that in the grand scheme of publishing, trade reviews and starred reviews don’t tip the scale any which way, but for me, that little star was like a shot of adrenaline to my author heart. “A satisfying sequel in a great historical romance series.” I’m so honored that Kirkus thinks so.
