On Common Ground
"When Lilah Evans returns to her alma mater to receive an award, she runs into Justin Bigelow, her ex-boyfriend's college roommate. Having always thought of Justin as a player, she's surprised to hear that he's passionate about his job as a kindergarten teacher. As the two renew their friendship, they soon realize it's turned into something greater. Kelleher does a wonderful job creating believable characters. Lilah is both strong and sexy, and her minor insecurity only serves to make her more likable, while Justin's tenderness and love of children will make readers swoon."

"Although she vowed to never go back, Grantham University graduate Lilah Evans returns to her alma mater to receive the Distinguished Alumni award at the ten year reunion. At the event Lilah and Justin Bigelow, her college boyfriend's roommate, meet. They chat over old times and what each has done since graduating. He especially shocks her with his passion about being a kindergarten teacher as her memory of him is that of an egotistical BMOC player.
Lilah is further stunned when she learns Justin nominated her for the award. Far from being the self-indulged big man on campus jock, he is a caring person. As she revises her opinion of him, Lilah falls in love while Justin has been in love for over ten years.
This is a tender second chance relationship drama as Lilah realizes how wrong her misconceptions about this jock are as he proves to be a tender caring person who loves his work (I admire elementary school teachers especially the younger grades as it take a special person as those who can teach). Readers will enjoy their changing dynamics as this pair makes a wonderful warm couple."

The French Connection
"With its fun, crazy cast of characters, THE FRENCH CONNECTION is pure
entertainment. The chick lit tone fits the story perfectly and I loved how the romance between Shelley and Edmond
developed. Shelley handles the problems that come her way admirably and in a very believable manner. Edmond, the Count
de Montfort, is more than he seems and has reason to be suspicious of Shelley and her motivations in coming to France.
Shelley and Edmond are perfect together and their interactions are fun to read. Shelley also comes away learning a lot
about who she is and what she is capable of doing when she puts her mind to it. The story just races along and I even
laughed out loud a few times. THE FRENCH CONNECTION is a perfect pick-me-up and a joy to read. Tracy Kelleher has
written a fun, exciting, and humorous read."

Puzzled and attracted, Lauren goes along for the ride -- and both she and Sebastian get more than they bargained for!

Everybody's Hero
"Shooting pictures of star hockey

obviously as attracted to her as she is to him. Jason's the real deal... all
he has to do is make Claire believe it. Newcomer Tracy Kelleher makes a terrific
