Good morning, everyone!
I'm coming in a bit later this morning than I'd planned. I slept in later than normal, probably because I was up way past my bedtime swiping my kindle screen. Once I start reading one of these 7 Brides for 7 Soldier's books I can NOT put them down. I've been reading them from start to finish.
Today, we're shinging the spotlight on Julia London.
Here's a bit about Julia from her website:
Julia London is the New York Times
and USA Today best-selling author of more than thirty romantic fiction novels.
She is the author of the popular Cabot
Sisters historical series, including The Trouble with Honor, The Devil Takes a
Bride, and The Scoundrel and the Debutante. She is also the author of several
contemporary romances, including Homecoming Ranch, Return to Homecoming Ranch
and The Perfect Homecoming.
Julia is the recipient of the RT Bookclub Award for Best Historical Romance and a six-time finalist for the prestigious RITA award for excellence in romantic fiction.
She lives in Austin, Texas.
I love when author's take their bio to the next level. Make sure you check out her ABOUT page for a 'more like Julia' bio.
Julia wrote Jack's story in the series and I knew as soon as I hit a specific part in the story, this lady had to be a Texan. I also thought perhaps, she may have interviewed a friend of mine as part of her research. Maybe not, but as I read I seriously went 'Oh my God, this is Chuck's song' - a song by Texas musical artist (and he truly is an artist when it comes to songwriting - see my Interview with him HERE) Chuck Hawthorne and the story line of how Jack Carter came to have his struggle he needs to overcome in able to be with the woman he loves,
A reminder about this series:

NOTE: Published in 2017
One of the best reviews you can give a book is to say this simple phrase: I could not put this book down! While the heroine, Whitney Baldwin, has her own struggle and tends to be a bit chatty, there's a reason. She tends to talk too much, and rapidly, when she's nervous. While I'm a big dialogue person, the chattiness bothered me until I understood why she talks too much at times.
Julia London did a superb job of getting into the soul of her character and his struggles with PTSD. I'm sharing a video by Chuck Hawthorne that while not talking about PTSD, does give us an incredible insight into what our men and women see over there. Things we don't even want to imagine and why so many come back troubled. Check out this video by Chuck:
As I've done with the previous books in this series:
