Idaho Statesman Gives 5-Star Review to Love Without End
Love Without End got a very nice 5 out of 5 review from the Idaho Statesman in this morning’s paper. Just had to share. (Click on the image for a larger version.)
I love that the reviewer is hopingfor more contemporary romances from me because that is exactlywhat is in store for readersin the next year (and most likely beyond). My favorite quote: “[Hatcher’s] gift for drawing sympathetic characters facing real-life problems brings encouragement to her readers who face the same fears and troubl...
