I'm also a big fan of her current series--the Shelter Bay books.<br /><br />Even if you missed <i>The Quiet Man</i> on St. Patrick's Day, I hope you get to watch it again soon. It's such a great movie.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-46292336055836053332012-03-19T13:57:32.664-04:002012-03-19T13:57:32.664-04:00Kathleen, JoAnn Ross's Fair Haven was on my sh...Kathleen, JoAnn Ross's <i>Fair Haven</i> was on my short list. Michael Joyce is a wonderful hero. <br /><br />I highly recommend <i>The Irish Warrior</i> and Kris Kennedy's other books as well. I almost always avoided Medievals until I read KK. She's an autobuy for me.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-42661928692723921042012-03-19T13:53:46.250-04:002012-03-19T13:53:46.250-04:00Keira, IMO Emma Jensen's style is closer to Ba...Keira, IMO Emma Jensen's style is closer to Barbara Metzger's or Diane Farr's than to Wolf or Chase.<br />Her backlist is not large, but she wrote some terrific trads. She's a two-time Rita winner.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-55714317014031560932012-03-19T13:28:24.399-04:002012-03-19T13:28:24.399-04:00I'm familiar with Murphy and Miles, Janga, but...I'm familiar with Murphy and Miles, Janga, but will have to check out the others. I also love the Gallaghers from Nora's other Irish Trilogy.<br /><br />My plans were to sit down with John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and a nice glass of wine and enjoy <i>The Quiet Man</i> Saturday night but that didn't happen (teenage boys happened instead). I did get to enjoy a nice corned beef meal last night, though.<br /><br />I'm pondering whether I want to dive into JoAnn Ross' backlist and Kathleen's comment has me inching closer to checking it out.

I have read both Nora's and Emile books and I so agree with your take on these delectable Irish heroes. Or how about Michael Joyce’s the tortured photojournalist in JoAnn Ross’s book Fair Haven or in her book A Woman’s Heart, Cynical, bitter, and disillusioned, Quinn Gallagher, who falls for a young woman when he come to the small town of Castleborough and tests out his heart to see if a this woman can let him trust again… Can ya here my sighs…AHHHHKathleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750925187927330976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-62897615942132023862012-03-16T09:40:42.656-04:002012-03-16T09:40:42.656-04:00Janga, I have read two of your books listed here: ...Janga, I have read two of your books listed here: the JoBev and the Kennedy. You have, in the past, started me down the road to the backlists of a few, now auto-buy, authors. So do tell me more about Emma Jensen. How does her style compare with, say, Joan Wolf or Loretta Chase (the trads only)? Thanks!Keira Soleorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440213826734580889noreply@blogger.com
