  1. Love her books, cracks me up laughing, hooting and hollering, at some of the dialogue especially in Ransom, my, my, my never laughed so much, and most importantly….she NEVER uses the Lords name in vain, like so many of her contemporaries. Love her, not many like her.

  2. I own all her books! Keep hoping a new one would be out soon! I have my friends loving her books. I like to re-read them! She is the best!!!

  3. I’ve only read the Claybornes’ Brides (Rose Hill) series and I absolutely loved them. I re-read from time to time, even though I rarely reach for books over 300 pages. They’re that good! I’m anticipating other works by Julie Garwood are just as good but I don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    1. You need to read all of them. They are all fantastic. Just begin with the next series. I can’t put any of them down. I wish she had more books coming.
