Now, struggling with PTSD, she believes she’s finally found sanctuary living under a new name on a ranch where she works as a fishing guide.

Western and Romance combination gave amazing result in Texas Hearts series by Lisa Mondello. Our next guest is NY Times and USA Today bestselling author. She is very productive writer who also presented to the genre fans another series – Dakota Hearts, Fate with a Helping Hand and Summer House. Let’s welcome Lisa Mondello at Land of Books.
– Lisa, what the readers will find in your Texas Hearts series?
– I write stories on all sensuality levels. I’ve written Christian Romance for Harlequin Steeple Hill, traditional/sweet romances for Avalon Books and steamier books through self- publishing. Texas Hearts was originally published by hardcover/library publisher Avalon Books. When the rights to the books reverted to me, I self-published them and chose to keep the books traditional. Since Avalon Books published romances meant for family entertainment, much like movies on the Hallmark Channel, there is no sex in any of the Texas Hearts books. But that doesn’t mean they are short on story. All my books are filled with a lot of emotion, lots of struggles between the hero and heroine, and a satisfying happy ending. I don’t make that happy ending easy for the hero and heroine to get! Read the rest of this entry
