“I
was blessed to get an ARC of this book. I loved it. Kept turning the page to
see what happened next. And I was shocked at how Harlequin allowed her to end
it! Way to go Angi, and way to go Harlequin!” ~Amanda
“Just
finished Ranger Guardian. Great read. I liked the new slant of two people
trying o repair their marriage. Thank you!” ~Diane

A second-chance at love story isn’t something new.
But having a married couple as a hero and heroine…well, I have to admit that
the editors weren’t enthusiastic about it. But readers are. The two comments
above are just a few of the positive responses I’ve had to Mr. & Mrs.
Murray in Ranger Guardian.
So is it okay to have a story about the
reconciliation of a married couple? I could have made Heath and Kendall be
officially separated…but they aren’t. In fact, they keep their daughter in her
home and they switch out sleeping there. One editor said, It’s unusual to have a romance
in which the hero and heroine are already married, so my only concern here is
that there isn’t enough conflict. My first thought
was…she must not be married. LOL
But I took her advice and added more of
the conflict to the page. I’ve been completely taken off guard by the strong
emotions (private conversations and messages) of having a married couple for a
hero and heroine. But I think readers are about to see more. They might not be
married, but they’ll be the same hero and heroine in more than one book. Watch
for stories from Catherine Mann & Janie Crouch.
So
what do you think?

A
Ranger’s daughter has been taken.
Getting her back is all that matters.
They’ve been estranged for months, so Texas Ranger Heath Murray is surprised to be partnered with his wife…dedicated FBI agent Kendall Barlow. It’s the case of Kendall’s career—a career that has divided their marriage, though not their attraction. When their young daughter is kidnapped as a pawn, they have only each other to turn to.

Saving her together is their only option.
The alternative is unthinkable.

Do you like books
that use the same hero and heroine?
I Do!
ReplyDeleteVery cool !
DeleteI do. Love series using the same characters or mixing and using the same characters even as secondary characters. Love to be familiar with the characters. I love yo read and read many different characters and series and authors.
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteOnce I know the hero & heroine it's fun to read about them again and again!
ReplyDeleteI've spoken to Catheine Mann & Janie Crouch...
DeleteBoth said the hardest thing is keeping the conflict strong (and different) in the subsequent books.
Yes, I enjoy reading more about characters that I've come to know in one book. It's always great to revisit with them in a new book to see where they are now and how their lives have changed.
ReplyDeleteNICE NICE NICE
DeleteI do enjoy reading about characters I got to know...
ReplyDeleteThis positive feedback is something I needed for my Indie Series.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteRomance can feature married or previously married couples. It all depends on the writer's style. But, yes I would read this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome !!
DeleteYes, I love it when favourite characters come back for another story.
ReplyDeleteYES !!
DeleteSure, why not!
ReplyDeleteTerrific!
DeletePOSTING FOR PATRICIA BARRACLOUGH:
ReplyDeleteI see no reason why a married couple can not be the hero and heroine of a story. Marriages vary so widely. If the marriage isn't solid, a story that runs along the same lines as a regular romance can be used to change their relationship and make it stronger.
As for using the same hero and heroine in several books, it can work quite well. The story doesn't need to focus primarily on their relationship. The books can show how their relationship changes through the events the stories are based on.
Excellent points, Patricia !!
DeleteI don't see any reason why not i think it would be interesting. Peggy Clayton
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to read their story, Peggy.
DeleteSounds interesting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCool.
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS, Sandra W !!
