Ok, it's official, I'm a "Roxie addict".  Oh, I have been tempted by others, but I could control my "urges".  Either, they didn't write often enough, I mean really, how can you become addicted when a writer only writes one or two books a year? Or, worse, they are unpredictable, sometimes a great book and others...not so much.But not my Roxie.First, she ALWAYS writes a great book, under any name.  I believe her characters and their motivations. I may not always agree with them, but I believe them. Second, she doesn't write wimpy female characters. I really hate that and Roxie always delivers strong women.  My only complaint about them is that they are usually a little young for me.  Ain't nothin' wrong with a 30yo woman. But again, I can live with that, I just make them older in my head (smile).  I also like that she doesn't do the stupid "break up to make up" thing  that some writers do. If they do part, there is a really good reason.  I also like that her characters TALK to one another and share their feelings.But third, and most important, SHE WRITES A LOT!!! Just think, this is my second "hit of Roxie" this month!! That makes this reader very, very happy.In Finn's Heart was wonderful.  I loved both flawed characters so much. I loved that even with their respective issues their hearts were open for love.  I enjoyed the interactions with the secondary characters and how she even brought characters from her other books into this one.  I enjoyed the "fore telling" of Kostya and Holly. If you read a "Very Russian Christmas" then you know about these two, and when he saw that picture from Finn, you KNOW  he went crazy inside, no matter how cool he was on the outside.  Can't wait to read it from his perspective in their book.I have read all three Connolly books and I think for today, this one is my fave. All three have a certain sweetness that the Russian books don't have, but don't get it twisted, these are all still alpha men.You know when it's a good writer when as you read you are thinking "oh, I hope he gets a book or she gets a book".  I'm pulling for books for Conn and Coby ( Roxie, can you age her just a little? Please :) ) and Dom and Tres and...well you get the point. As long as Roxie is writing, I'm buying, no questions asked, no hesitation.I buy a LOT of books, most are like fast food, filling but not satisfying.  Roxie is like a good home cooked meal, after you finish you feel good all over.
