I would like to introduce to you..........Nicole Jordan.

For "Historical Romance" lovers and beginning readers in the field of romance, you will not find another more intriguing as Nicole Jordan. Visit her website at http://www.nicolejordanauthor.com/ . I don't even remember how I got started on her books and which one was the first. I think it was around the same time I discovered Lucy Monroe. Anyway, it doesn't matter. All I know that comparing her to others who has made a mark writing historical, her's (at the present) is OUTSTANDING!!! I started out by reading Catherine Coulter: Devil Duology/Night, Magic, Legacy Trilogy/Song Series/Regency and Baron Seies; Julie Garwood: Regency-The Lion's Lady/Guardian Angel/The Gift/Castles, Medieval-The Secret/Ransom/Shadow Music/The Bride/The Wedding; the late Kathleen E. Woodiwiss : Shanna/The Flame and The Flower/The Wolf and The Dove/Ashes in the Wind/A Rose in Winter/Come Love a Stranger; Dorothy Garlock: River Trilogy; Judith McNaught: Kingdom of Dreams/Whitney My Love/Almost Heaven/Until You/Once and Always; Jude Deveraux: Montgomery Family Saga; Shanon Drake: Ondine (that's all I could think of); Amanda Quick:
Seduction/Surrender/Scandal/Rendezvous/Ravished/Reckless/Dangerous/

Deception/Desire/Mistress/Mystique/Mischief/Affair/With This Ring/I Thee Wed Wicked Widow/Slightly Shady/Don't Look Back/Late For the Wedding/
The Paid Companion/Wait Until Midnight/Lie By Moonlight/Second Sight/The River Knows.

Now, that was the good old days. I've recently found out that comparing to some of the above authors with the present day writing of Nicole, you could not believe that many of these authors (not counting KEW as she passed away on 6th of July, 2007, her latest book was "Everlasting") have lost their 'original' touch. I did a comparison, that's how I know. Trust me, I've been reading romance for the past 20years, I know what I'm talking about. Okay, where was I......ah, yes. Nicole Jordan.....if you want delicious historical romance with sizzling hot love scene, be sure to get her book. Suggestions? Of course, just pick up any (and I mean all of the whole) series written by her. You will not be disappointed. Starting off with

There's no disappointment in (most) of her books. I did not get them all yet, but will soon as I'm always looking for them on ebay. Especially the hardcovers. At the moment, I'm very happy (and satisfied) about her new series "The Courtship Wars". This series looks to be very promising and just hope that the last 2 books are as delicious as the excerpts sounds. The 1st book is out now, the other 2 will be in the following months March and April'08. So far, I have not missed out on her books yet.

Enjoy reading,
Toni
