A few years back, one of my best friends introduced me to Marcia Lynn Mcclure. She gave me her favorite book entitled The Highwayman of Tanglewood and it was a pretty good book. I recommended it to my sister, who reads about a book a minute, and she then recommended it to my mom. Now we are all going through her books like there is no tomorrow, (I think she has like 40-ish novels/novellas).
Now, an important thing to note about me is that I love a good romance. I am my mother's daughter, after all (my mother got the majority of her kids' names from Harlequin romance novels). But, the important factor with Marcia Lynn Mcclure is that she is an LDS romance novelist. Her stuff is super clean and it's great!!
Okay, okay, so maybe these books aren't some amazing Pulitzer prize that will change humanity, but her books are fun and lighthearted. They always have a happy ending, and even when you're rolling your eyes with just how cheesy all romance novels can get, you can't help but giggle a little bit too. Her books always leave me with a happy feeling. They are what kept me sane through my summer engagement break-off fiasco of 2011. Though it may have created unrealistic expectations in me when it comes to looking for my E.C. :)
So, if your a girl like me who is a sucker for romance stories and need an easy read to keep you sane through the semester, I recommend her. My favorites are The Highwayman of Tanglewood, Shackles of Honor, A Crimson Frost, and The Visions of Ransom Lake. Her historical romances are the best.
I've read that book! I absolutely loved it when I read it too. I've kind of strayed to the classical novels, but when I make my way back to LDS fiction I will have to look up the rest of her books.
