I received this lovely review for Late Harvest.
Score: 4.50 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick
"At 15, Glenna knew that was she's in love with Kurt and wanted his acceptance and love. She knew his love was all she's ever wanted. Deceived by family secrets, Glenna fled the holding she once called home and away from Kurt, the only pleasure she's ever known. At thirty-five, Kurt von Daniken is formidable, ruthless, and cold. What he wants, he gets. And what he wants at this moment is Glenna Ryan. She is the answer to preserving Cresthaven, but she has once fled from him carrying a secret that could destroy them both. They say third time's a charm; can their love survive the deception and the secrets that plagued them years ago?
Suzanne Barrett's talent for delivering pure, undiluted romance is top of the line. She mesmerizes the audience with the essence of romance and love. She also captures the reader hearts with Glenna and Kurt intense desire for each other, not to mention her ability to fuse heartwarming romance with nail-biting suspense shine in Late Harvest."
Verbal meanderings about good books, the creative process and how it applies to so much of what we do, jewelry design--what inspires me, the stones I like, great recipes from my collection, gardening, Ireland and travel, and anything else that comes to mind.

Five Stars and a Top Pick!
Taming Rowan just received five stars and a Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews. Am I happy? Is the Pope Catholic?
Here's the review:
"A totally sexy read with charming characters that will keep you glued to every page! This book couldn't have a more appropriate title. Even though Rowan doesn't know it until it's too late, he's absolutely been tamed.
Ms. Barrett gives us the push and pull between two characters who try to fight the attraction between them. This makes for a sexy, spark-your-temperature kind of story that will keep you engrossed right to the end.
Karin agrees to take a job that she's highly qualified for. The only problem is that Rowan, the man who will be her boss, thinks a man is coming to complete that job. Karin must prove she is not only capable, but excels at what she does because Rowan doesn't want any women at the remote job site. There is an instant attraction between them, which turns into a love/hate relationship. The interaction between them is sexy with a whole lot of fun and the combination makes for a great romance that you won't want to put down!
If I have my way, I'll be reading much, much more from Ms. Barrett!"
Thank you, Mandy, for a wonderful review.

Definitely a Keeper!
Just finished Cheryl Norman's Rebuild My World. Here's my review.
Taylor Drake wants her life back. After a horrific attack that claimed the life of her roommate and sent her into therapy, the award-winning photojournalist returns to her Florida hometown in a perpetual state of fear. How can the son of her family's enemy help her put her life back together?
Taylor returns to Drake Springs a virtual recluse afraid to leave her father's house. Her attacker got away, and for all she knows, he may be lurking around the next tree. When her sheriff brother goes on vacation, he asks his chief deputy to look in on his sister, make sue she is safe.
Adam Gillespie doesn't relish the idea. He has pegged Taylor as a selfish rich bitch, furthermore, he hates her father, the man who ruined his family. Still, he is a lawman and sworn to do his duty, even when it means looking out for Harold Drake's frightened daughter, never mind that Adam is running for sheriff against her brother Wil.
The attraction is instant, and unwanted. The Drakes ruined his family and may have been responsible for his mother's death, but Taylor wants to put the thirty-year-old feud back in the past where it belongs. Unfortunately, Adam can't do that.
When a series of events again threaten Taylor's life, Adam realizes he must do everything he can to help her...and somehow work through the attraction that sizzles between them. Just when he may be reaching a breakthrough with his emotions, a bombshell drops into his lap that assures he can never love a Drake.
Ms. Norman is a gifted storyteller. I loved Rebuild My World and eagerly turned the pages, excited to see what event would next happen to keep this story moving. Not only is it well plotted, but the characterizations draw you into the lives of these people. Ms. Norman tell a compelling tale that keeps you guessing. I loved the ending, and yet hated to see it end because I became so involved with Adam and Taylor. Even the secondary characters are finely drawn. This book's a keeper.

Do you like sexy British heroes?
Tomorrow I have an interview over at Deep in the Heart Romance. I'll be talking about my sexy British hero Rowan and offer an excerpt. Check it out and leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for a e-copy of my latest release (available May 23rd), Taming Rowan, a contemporary set in Cumbria, a remote area in England's Lakes District. If you like tall, dark, sexy Brits of the wounded warrior variety and unusual settings, Taming Rowan might be just for you.
Karin Williams' devastatingly handsome project officer has a boulder-sized chip on his shoulder. Rowan Marsden expected a male engineer and he's not giving Karin an inch. Working conditions are...tense. Worse, she must share on-site housing with the sexy Brit who she fears will break her heart. What's a girl to do?
If Rowan had his way, he'd never work with a woman. Yet as Karin demonstrates her expertise on the job, he cannot deny his growing respect for her--or his desire. He wants the passion she offers, but not the commitment. Until a horrendous accident at the project site threatens Karin's life, and proves that even a wounded man is destined to love...
