It feels so unnatural to say I found the latest Julie Garwood novel to be just meh… three-stars on a scale of five, just okay … because Julie Garwood is the author who solidified my love of the whole romance genre. But the latest installment of her Buchanan-Renard series, Grace Under Fire, just ...
Since I love to comb the shelves at used bookstores and pick up older romances, I always love it when we have Old School month at TBR Challenge. This time around, I chose a 1992 Harlequin Historical that turned out to be something of a gem. The author got her rights back for the book, so the novel ...
The first time I read The Bride, I was captivated by Alec and Jamie's story. I refused to put the book down and I ended up reading it in record time. Wild horses could not have dragged me away from this book. Many people I've met still list The Bride as not only their favorite Julie Garwood, but the ...
I think most aspiring historical romance writers would like to be Julie Garwood when they grow up. I know I would. Her stories always give me a smile, a laugh and a tear. I love them all, but my favorite Garwood book has always been The Secret.
This book grabs you from the first page and never le ...

Then, she released Heartbreaker, her first contemporary romantic suspense novel, and I found myself hooked on those as much, if not more than the historicals. Sadly, after ...

It’s been a while since I last picked up a new Julie Garwood novel. I consider quite a few of her books DIKs and she’s long been one of my favorite authors, so I suppose it’s odd that I’ve been avoiding her work recently. After reading Fast Track, though, I’m reminded of why I kept away. H ...
I haven’t reread this Regency-era historical romance for years but remembered it fondly - so much so, that it was #64 on my recent Top 100 ballot. And when I learned it was available in audio format, I was eager for a reread. Unfortunately, it didn’t stand up quite as well as I expected, and I d ...

One of the first historical romance authors I read and enjoyed was Julie Garwood. But when I think of my favorites, Saving Grace, the recipient of two DIKs at AAR, never comes to mind. After listening to this 1994 print release in audio format, I believe my list of Garw ...
