Oh what a joy! The Lady and the Lionheart has received a 5 Star TOP PICK! review from Romantic Times Magazine. I was so surprised that I could scarcely believe it until a helpful source joyfully assured me that it truly is possible, just extremely rare for five stars to be given. It makes the honor all the more deep and has me completely in awe and filled with gratitude.
When I shared the news with my mom, she sent me this verse: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and decisions and how unfathomable and untraceable are His ways!” (Rom 11:33 AMP) That pretty much sums it up!
Below is the wonderful review that went along with this surprise. Thanks for celebrating with me and Charlie and Ella, dear friends! Release day is just around the bend!
For more about the book, you can find it on Pinterest, Goodreads

Nook and Paperback coming soon!
Let me be the first in line here to say how thrilled I am that Charlie and Ella’s story was told. It wrapped around my heart and getting to be an early reader in the process of it becoming the most romantic, heart-grabbing story it is for all of us readers…sigh!!! I can scarcely wait to hold the physical book in my hands and read it again…AND AGAIN! ❤️❤️
Constantly blessed by you!! Just so, so thankful time and time again! And you can officially say that you have your very own, real live Lionheart <3 <3 (well two of them, hehe!)
I am SO, SO NOT SURPRISED!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this story – and YOU!!
Oh Laura, thanks doesn’t feel like enough! So are such a joy to me! Bless you for braving Charlie’s story – to say I’ve been nervous would be an understatement. 😉 But your support and moments like these just reflect God’s promises and I’m so thankful for you.
Hard-earned, well-deserved recognition, Joanne. I’m thrilled for you. Congratulations! What a fabulous review. Can’t wait to read Charlie and Ella’s story.
Mona, your words are such a treasure. Thank you, my friend!
Congrats, I’m thrilled for you each time your work is praised and know it’s deserving of even so much more!! Love that eloquent review, Joanne, and know I will love the even more eloquent story of Charlie and Ella!! Each work you’ve written has touched my soul – can’t wait for this one!! Hugs!!
Biggest thanks, Bonnie! I can’t even express what a joy it is to think of my real friends and my fictional friends meeting up for a spell and that’s just what I think of when I look ahead to this story in your hands. May it be a blessing to you as you have been one to me!
Congratulations! Beautiful review and I’m so glad it’s 5 stars!
Looking forward to meeting Charlie and Ella for myself:)
Hello Lientjie! Thank you for the warm wishes AND that thoughtful review you posted for TGTY. So touched!
Your welcome! I really enjoyed TGTY,do you have an idea when the second book will be available?
That is a great question and one I ask myself all the time! I’ve fallen behind on my writing schedule due to a surprise contract but am hoping to have that one out sometime in early 2017 now.
What wonderful news, though I’m not really surprised since I’ve read your other books. I’m really looking forward to reading The Lady and the Lionheart. I read a lot of books by many different authors. There’s just something a little different about your books, a very special lyrical voice, maybe? It’s kind of hard to explain, but I do think your books are wonderful!
Wow, Pam, that’s really meaningful! A lyrical voice is a huge compliment – thank you! Always appreciate your sweet visits and I get to go to bed with a smile thanks to this one! Saying a prayer that The Lady and the Lionheart will have a blessing in it for you. Thanks so much for sharing in the joy!
Congrats, Joanne! I always knew you could do it! And, Amen to many more. Posting this wonderful news on TBAP’s Facebook!
