We loved Riffraff and Jilly's story. To fully appreciate his life's journey and background, we recommend reading the books in order in this series before delving into his story.

We loved that this story is about second chances for love, life, and health. Jilly, widowed with a young child, is willing to make sacrifices to be the parent her daughter Kimber needs. Riffraff gets a new lease on life, but never expected to find love along the way. These two exude soulmate vibes, and their chemistry is beautiful and uplifting.

This plot evokes a range of emotions. The way Jilly and Riffraff met will bring a smile to your face, especially if you could see Riffraff at that moment, you would understand why it warms your heart.

We enjoyed the witty banter among the members and the slow-burn romance between Riff and Jilly, with an underlying spark that keeps things interesting.

Riffraff is a silver fox who is sexy, kind, and loving, but don't be fooled, he is a biker and can be deadly when necessary. He has never lost that Prez voice, which adds to his swoon-worthy character and makes him one of our favorites in this series.

The story takes place around the Christmas holiday, adding a special touch, focusing on family and new beginnings. The twist in the plot was a surprising element that could make or break a couple, but we loved it. There were many precious and tender moments in this story that melted the hearts of its readers.


I'm a lifelong reader who had a dream to write her own books. A transplanted Yankee, I recently moved cross country from Georgia to Texas. While I have a strong personal belief system and faith, I won't be "preaching" in any of my books. They'll have perfectly imperfect people in it who meet, fall in love, fall into bed (at times; sometimes they might wait), have kids, get married. In short, I want to write books that make people think and feel.

My debut novel, "Bountiful Harvest" was released on the 7th anniversary of my mom's death. Somehow, I think my biggest cheerleader and staunchest defender helped it publish so quickly.

Since hitting publish 8/31/16, I've had the privilege to begin co-writing with Liberty Parker on an MC series, the Rebel Guardians. There are seven books out in this series, plus two books in a spin-off (2.0, the next generation) and the first book in The Nelson Brothers (who show up in book 5 of the RGMC). We're hard at work on yet another spin-off (New Beginnings) featuring some of the girls from the RGMC whose love interests are not with the men from the MC!

I also co-write a series of children's short stories with a fellow author, Cherry Shephard and her 10 year old son. Get immersed in "The Mischief Kitties" and their zany, crazy lives!
