★★★★★
"The Spell of Summer is possibly her best book yet..."
–Author, Elizabeth Morgan

Broken Lights – a gritty romantic suspense set in Whitechapel, London, on a cold December night.

★★★★★
"What I loved especially about this read was not only its uniqueness in the genre creating a fresh and bold read, but the strength of the characters. Norman especially was a character who was easy to fall in love with. His brokenness was endearing and his road to discovery was lovely."
– Bex 'n' Books

"I would highly recommend this story to anyone who has ever been in love before."
–Night Owl Reviews, 4.25 STARS
