Love is Blooming!

It's almost March, which should mean that spring is almost here, right? Well, let me start by saying that it does mean that our fantastic March releases are almost here!


As for spring, in Ontario we're still experiencing a winter wonderland . . .

. . . when I would much prefer this!

But I digress. Let's focus on the positives!

To celebrate our March releases, we have not one but TWO fabulous giveaways for our readers! Better still, we have a special guest author, Jill Weatherholt, joining us for our celebration with her March Love Inspired release, Second Chance Romance!

Isn't this a fantastic cover?

Before I get into the details of our giveaways, I would like to give you a little information about our books.

First, we have LeAnne Bristow's debut book, Her Texas Rebel.

Please join me in giving LeAnne a warm welcome to Heartwarming!

Next we have my release, Sanctuary Cove, and possibly the start of a new series.

Next up, we have Tara Randel's The Wedding March, the latest installment in her acclaimed The Business of Weddings series.

Our fourth Heartwarming book is A Song for Rory, the next installment in the sweet and talented Cerella Sechrist's A Findlay Roads Story series.

Most people who visit our blog regularly will probably know Jill Weatherholt, as she never fails to leave a comment and engage with us and our readers. Well, Jill’s debut Harlequin Love Inspired novel, Second Chance Romance, releases on the same date as our Heartwarming books, so we are thrilled to have Jill join us for our celebration and giveaway. Here's the introduction to her book:
