REVIEW

“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!”

REVIEW

“I just finished reading this book and am kind of sad that it’s over. I am very much looking forward to the next in series in this author’s collection. I thought the author did a wonderful job with the accuracy of the history during that time. I love that she included her research at the end of the book on where she got her information for the historical facts. Eliza, the main character is easy to love. She may be stubborn and headstrong but she is also very loving and loyal. There was adventure, suspense and romance all rolled into one story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian romance novels. This is one of the best I’ve read so far.”

-Paula H.

REVIEW

“Shoot at the Sunset by Kathleen Denly combines romance, mystery, faith, and danger with the wildness of the California desert frontier to deliver an entertaining story that will keep you turning the pages! The slow-burn romance between Lucy and Preston simmers sweetly with attraction and friendship until at last the sparks are free to ignite into a steady flame, and I enjoyed getting to know them both. Denly doesn’t shy away from tackling issues like addiction and abuse, but she frames all of it within the goodness of God and His faithfulness.“
