Amazon Reviews:
“…reading EJourney (the moniker under which she writes) is like dining in a fine restaurant: the word are placed on the page in a seductive way, assuring that interest in the characters and their development progresses with such urgency that pausing between chapters seems almost a crime.”—Grady Harp, Top 100 Amazon reviewer
“Coming from a romance expert, this was one of the sweetest love stories I’ve read in a good while. I’m not gonna lie, it is predictable in some places (as almost every love story written is), but it takes a truly talented author to incorporate personal style that can break those stereotypes and keep the reader feeding off of originality. I felt that here..”—Dannie Moffitt, Amazon reviewer
“”Welcome Reluctant Stranger” is one of the best books I have read in quite a while!”—Michelle McCormick, Amazon Reviewer
