Nothing better than a story set in New Orleans than being there reading the story in New Orleans!
Best Success with Your New Book!!
Thank you!
For sure, I love stories done in New Orleans. Probably why I like NCIS New Orleans.
I have read all of these book. Sometimes I had tears in my eyes, sometimes I laughed and a lot of times I could not stop read because I just had to read what happens next. I loved every twist, every turn and finding love when you never expect it. I cannot wait for the next book. Stella, you are a wonderful writer and I look forward to your future books.

I wish I had known about these books before. Can’t wait to read them. I have the Kindle App on my android. I would love a stand alone Kindle. Should I start from the first book or does it matter?
