WELCOME TO REDEMPTION by Donna Marie Rogers and Stacey Joy Netzel is a must summer read. With great characters, exciting plots and sizzling romance, you can’t miss this book. Great job to both authors and I hear there is a second book that will take place in Redemption. I wanted to say hurry ladies and get this next one written. I can’t wait to read more.

I absolutely loved this anthology! In my opinion, Donna Marie Rogers & Stacey Joy Netzel both have unique writing talents and clearly have a winner with this book. I loved the humor sprinkled throughout the stories and laughed at loud with Sugar’s antics. I am a Great Dane owner and I really appreciated reading a story with a Dane in it. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out. This is definitely a keeper in my library and I assure you that you will love it as much as I did. Wonderful job ladies!

This marvelous book was a compilation of four couples who meet and fell in love; what they all had in common (in addition to being kin to each other, in some cases) was that either one or both of them lived in Redemption, Wisconsin. Redemption was a small town which was typical of all the small towns across the U.S. Ms. Rogers and Ms. Netzel each wrote two stories; they intertwined together flawlessly. The first two stories intersected at the town fair...These characters and stories are marvelous; the two authors worked together impeccably. The people interacted so well, and the stories went together so well, it was if one person did all the writing. All eight of the main characters were so great that I had to fall in love with them and envision them all functioning together in the same town forever.

 I loved the book and highly recommend it!

Multi-published, award-winning author Jane Toombs says:

"Welcome to Redemption offers four refreshing and heartwarming stories. These stories bring readers right into the heart of this town, and the lives of its people, with four happy and romantic endings. Reading this book was a real pleasure."

Welcome to Redemption is an anthology of four interwoven, heart grabbing, love at first sight stories written by Donna Marie Rogers and Stacey Joy Netzel. The book opens with Ms. Rogers utterly enchanting A Fair of the Heart followed by Ms. Netzel's totally charming A Fair to Remember, then continues with Ms. Roger's witty battle of opposites in The Perfect Blend and ends with Ms. Netzel's heart warming Grounds for Change...Stacey Joy Netzel's and Donna Marie Rogers' Welcome to Redemption has turned me into a fan of these two new writers. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Here is another story by Donna Marie Rogers that I absolutely fell in love with.  Ms. Rogers knows how to pen a fun romance, wrapped around a western theme, that will make your heart beat faster for more.  I loved all the characters and they played so well off each other.  I felt bad for James.   To me, it seemed all of his hard work and effort were being taken for granted because of his cut up younger brother, Reese.  He was going to fight with everything he had to save the home his great-grandparents built from falling into the hands of an outsider.  I loved Angela because her feistiness and hard work to keep her head above water had finally paid off for her - or so she thought.  I thoroughly enjoyed this story by Ms. Rogers and I know you will too.  I would most certainly recommend this story to other readers in a heartbeat.  Great job, Donna!

Ms. Donna Marie Rogers has written a great story about a woman who never belonged anywhere and two brothers who had very different ideals concerning life. The only thing they had shared was James’ former fiancée. Ms. Rogers has given her main characters a certain depth and likeability. Her plot contained conflict and underhandedness but there was nothing sinister. I prefer this type storyline because I do not like intense suspense...This book was concise and packed with the great manuscript. I had a hard time putting it down and then was sorry that I reached the end. I highly recommend it as a fabulous way to spend an afternoon.

Ms. Rogers’, GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, is a beautiful Western Romance that will keep you hooked until the very last page. This book has everything you could want: beautiful romantic love scenes, humor, and, of course, two characters that are complete opposites,yet are perfect for one another. James is a hard-working sexy cowboy who doesn’t take stuff from anybody and is recovering from a betrayal caused by his brother and his ex. I see why he figures he has every reason to doubt any woman who crosses his path. When beautiful fiery Angela comes his way, there is no way he can resist her. I enjoyed watching these two battle it out one minute, then share a little joke or watch James teach her something new, the next. Angela really touched my heart. She’s has had a rough life and never really belonged anywhere. The ranch is defiantly her place and seeing her there added something beautiful to the story. Ms. Rogers’ has a great way with words. As you read the story, you have the picture of it in your head. Congratulations, on another fantastic story!
