LORI WILDE’S NOVELS
 
ALL OF ME
 

“[The characters’] physical attraction heats up the pages, but their personal development forms the heart and soul of the novel, a delicately revealing in-depth character study. Wilde’s clever combination of humor, sorrow and love brings a deeply appealing sense of realism.”


Publishers Weekly

 

“A warm serene character study. Jillian is a fully developed person, but the relationship drama is owned by Tuck as Lori Wilde goes deep inside his soul. Fans who appreciate a sometimes amusing but always pathos second chance at life (and love) will enjoy this profound contemporary.”


Midwest Book Review

 

“Light and charming, this is a pure romance, which is a nice change… a satisfying read with excellent characterizations and real-life issues.”


RT Book Reviews

 
ADDICTED TO LOVE
 

“Entertaining and humorous… There’s a seriousness to it also, as the heroine learns to recognize real love and caring. Wilde again includes secondary romances that are intriguing, entertaining, and hot.”


RT Book Reviews

 

“Wilde brings romance fans a feel-good, laugh-out-loud read… one of the best romantic comedies I’ve read in a long time.”


NightsandWeekends.com

 

“Charming… lighthearted fun… strong secondary romances enhance an engaging Valentine tale.”


Midwest Book Review

 
ONCE SMITTEN, TWICE SHY
 

“Lori Wilde at her best… The magic and romance that Ms. Wilde began in her first book in the series,
There Goes the Bride
, continues in this novel… I really loved this story. The writing is wonderful and the plot grabbed my attention from the first page. I fell in love with the characters and couldn’t wait to see how they worked everything out.”
