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 didn’t have…
Julie Garwood, historical romance legend and by now a longtime romantic suspense writer, reaches the thirteenth volume in her Buchanan-Renard series, Wired, the story of a computer hacker and the FBI agent trying to protect her. Allison Trent is in trouble. A part-time model, part-time college student and full-time A-class-level genius hacker, she’s being forced…

I’ve heard people gripe about Garwood’s jump from historicals to contemporaries, but I’m not one of them. Killjoy is a perfect example of why I’m glad she made the leap. Here’s a fast-paced tale of suspense that is balanced with a great romance. Talent agent Carrie Salvetti has been given a free vacation at Utopia,…
