Review: Another WOW from Kristen

I discovered Kristen on the romance forums and decided to give her a try. After my first novel of hers, The Gamble, she quickly zoomed to #1 of all time favorite romance authors tied with Pamela Clare. I cannot stop. Lacybourne was my 27th novel that I have devoured by Ms. Ashley and I am beginning to panic as I run out of books written by her. This novel touched me on so many levels but uppermost was Sybil's mastiff, Mallory. My husband and I have owned mastiffs for nearly 20 years, we currently have a 3 year old who is the clone of Mallory. Ms. Ashley was spot on with her description of Mallorys' mannerisms and idiosyncrasies. And the ending, oh the ending. Let me just say I also owned a Newfie for 12 years with the mastiff and you will understand my emotional reaction if you read this wonderful novel. As usual, our hero, Colin, is ALPHA and does something I found downright cruel but I held on because I knew he would come through as all of Kristens' heroes do and he certainly did. And who couldn't love Sybil. I don't usually like paranormal romances but so far I have been thoroughly entranced by the 3 "ghost" novels, Penmort Castle, Fairytale Come Alive and now this one. Next I will read Sommersgate House and hope Creed and Ally and Ren's story come out soon. Ms. Ashley is very addictive with amazing romantic novels unlike any other you will read. I can't get enough of her. I've even been using the recipes on her website that are mentioned in some of her novels.
