Summer in the Highlands
“Set in the atmospheric Highlands of Scotland, Summer in the Highlands is a collection of 3 historical romance novellas.This collection is ideal for readers looking to find new authors without the commitment of a full length novel. Each story features a cast of well rounded characters, unique storyline, and of course, a romance packed with chemistry. This collection has become one of my favorites in the Timeless lineup, and one that I will be quick to recommend in the future.”

Saving Grace
“Still have a smile on my face. Goodness gracious, I want to read this book again 8 hours after I finished it. Haven’t found a book in a LONG time that has all the elements of a good romance–to me anyway. 1) Independent-minded, mature heroine (Grace is 24 with a lot of life experience packed into those 24 years). 2) Substance! I can’t stomach the young ages and immaturity of many romances. A giggle? Death sentence. I put the book down right there. Michele Paige Holmes has written a wonderful Regency novel with substance. Substance like adversity and forgiveness. So refreshing! 3) Tension/angst between hero and heroine lasts the entire book. This is very tricky to do without making the reader pull their hair out. I don’t like my characters falling in love too early. I want to enjoy the journey with them. But Ms. Holmes has done it perfectly. The cautious growth and wary discovery of each other that takes place between Grace and Nicholas happens slowly and therefore realistically. A heart-wrenching love triangle also adds to the angst. And 4) Sexual tension without sex! Imagine that. Thank you Ms. Holmes for giving us romance-lovers a memorable, inspiring clean romance. I will be rereading this one often–just like a good romance in my DVD collection.”

Captive Heart
“Written with historical accuracy, Captive Heart contains all the elements of a great book. I laughed, cried, and sat on the edge of my chair in suspense as I read this novel. Michele Holmes writes with such detail that each scene comes to life. This is not your “run-of-the-mill” romance. Never predictable, I enjoyed every page of this exciting, humorous, old fashioned romance. I highly reccomend this book for a great read you won’t be able to put down.”

First Light
“I LOVED this book. I’m a sucker for a good spin on fairy tales and this was so good! I loved all the characters, I loved the love story! I loved there was more than just one kiss at the end. I’m a big fan of Michelle’s other books and was surprised to see this genre coming from her but she wrote it like this is what she is meant to write! So imaginative! So romantic. Must read!”

The Heart Only Grows
“The Heart Only Grows by Michele Paige Holmes kept me up super late last night. I had to get to the end! I love when good books do that. It was absolutely lovely. A historical romance with a plot revolving around the orphan trains traveling across the West. Loss, love, grief, and compassion are realistic in this well written novel. I absolutely loved it and I’m likely to read it again when I’m feeling nice and cozy. The romance is well written and had me sighing out loud. Fantastic story!”

Counting Stars
“It’s so great to read a book that has clean language, nothing to detract from the story line, and is appropriate for all ages. The author pulls you in from the very beginning and this book is a page-turner. I LOVED it! I had to immediately order the second book in the series. I laughed and cried. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a little romance and intrigue.”

An array of inspiration
From the streets of London to the highlands of Scotland, I find inspiration for my stories all across the globe.
One of many inspiring photos snapped while abroad in Scotland last month. Nothing sparks inspiration for a fairytale like a magnificent castle in a remote landscape with secrets from times past.
