Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering one of my novels for your group:

“Debut author Kathleen Denly has crafted a sweet & swoony romance with delightful, vividly-drawn characters you’ll quickly grow to love. Waltz in the Wilderness takes these characters – and readers – on a tender (and sometimes harrowing) journey with well-timed tension in all the right places. What a great novel!”

 

– Carrie Schmidt, ReadingIsMySuperPower.org

“I am IN LOVE with this story!…the characters are very easy to relate to, the setting draws you in till you can taste the salt water in the air, and the romance *phew* where is my fan and fainting couch? I literally did not…could not…put this down. A beautiful story about trust, love, and forgiveness, Waltz in the Wilderness will enrapture you heart and soul. I do NOT say these words lightly. There are many wonderful books that I have read over the past few years, but THIS one is so unique and different that it stands out among the others.”

 

– Rachel Dixon, BookwormMama.org

“Waltz in the Wilderness captured my attention from the start and I did not want to put it down! The characters are endearing and there was enough mystery to keep me guessing until the very end. I loved every minute of it.”

“Kathleen Denly does an amazing job once again. She writes such great romance but its more than that….I can’t wait to see what else comes from this author!”

– Kelly-Ann, Musings of a Sassy Bookish Mama

 

REVIEW

“I loved the way that she created this well-researched world that- being set in 1858- is quite removed from our own modern world… and yet created this character and this story that I feel like so many of us women can relate to.”

 

– Randi, A Modern Day Fairy Tale

– Mimi, Goodreads Review

REVIEW

“Harmony on the Horizon is historical fiction at its finest.”

 

 

– Chautona Havig

REVIEW

“Ms. Denly layers conflict upon conflict, twist knotted against twist. The historical accuracy and descriptive details bring the story to life. The author’s level of research is evident, tucking bits of history in a taut and compelling tale.”

 

 

– Robin E. Mason

REVIEW

“Harmony on the Horizon is an absorbing standout addition to Ms. Denly’s Chaparral Hearts series. This beautifully crafted read drew me in with the first line and kept me immersed to the end.”

 

 

– Carolyn Bryant

REVIEW

“There’s much brought to light of life and hardships, love and friendships, faith and doubts through our characters. I really enjoyed them and seeing them grow. The author did an amazing job weaving a page turner story with hits of mystery, intrigue, blackmail, social issues and romance.”

 

 

– Candy Smith

REVIEW

“Masterclass on upping tension and raising the stakes with every chapter. This is a very talented author.”
