The following reviews were posted on Amazon for a bundle edition of the Yellowstone Romance Series that was available for a short time.
This is one of the best series of romance novels that I have read I suggest this to anyone who wants to read about love and family and can daydream about the areas that the book takes place in. ---Cheryl Killian
I read all 5 of the "Yellowstone Romance" Series books and loved them all. If you like adventure and romance coupled with history you will like them too. These were page turners from the very first page. I liked the time travel aspect of the books, however, if you do not like time travel books, it really doesn't distract from the story. --M. Kendrick
I found that this was one of those series that as soon as you finished one you had to start the next. Each story stands alone, but the weaving of characters through the series is great. --Jenn Cameron
Loved the background of historic Yellowstone in the series and enjoyed the relationship of all the characters --Barb H
This series has great characters and plot. They're a pleasant read. Also a nice way to learn about the history of Yellowstone National Park. --Deborah Mulford
This was a brilliant series of books that I just didn't want to end.---Susan Horsnell
From the Author
Yellowstone National Park has been an awe-inspiring place to me since my first visit during a two-week camping trip after graduation from high school. I've been back nearly every year since then. My husband introduced me to the great outdoors, and to camping and hiking.
When the idea for Yellowstone Heart Song came to mind while on the drive home from vacation one year, I never thought it would turn into a published book. I loved reading romance, and I searched for other books set in Yellowstone, but couldn't find anything like what was swirling around in my head.
The idea of writing a time travel novel was intriguing, since I could bring together the past and the present. The only time travel stories I'd been familiar with when I wrote Heart Song were the Back to the Future movies, Michael Crighton's book Timeline, and the romance movie Kate and Leopold.
I drew on my personal experience with moving to a foreign country for Aimee's experiences when she traveled back in time. Even having some knowledge about another country beforehand, there are many things that one simply has to learn by doing and experiencing first hand, and making mistakes along the way, even if you think you already know. The same is true for language. I knew how to speak English when I moved to America, but "American english" was very different from the english I'd learned in school, and I didn't understand many of the local expressions, and I know I sounded strange to my piers, too. Blending in and learning the local customs and phrases took months to learn and didn't come automatically.
I struggled for a while with how I was going to send my characters through time, until I finally settled on the device that is now in the book. There is an entire backstory about this mysterious snakehead device in my notes, which has now been developed into Books 6, 7, and 8 in the series. (Book 8 will be written in 2017)
Once Heart Song was completed, I wrote a sequel, Redemption, and by the time that book was done, I knew that I was writing a series about my fictional account of how Yellowstone became a national park, using actual historical events (and putting my fictional spin on them). The resulting series is a mix of time travel romance stories and strictly historical romance stories. Each book is a standalone, but together they comprise a journey from Yellowstone as a primitive wilderness to becoming a national park, and the fictional roles my characters played in its creation.
