“A fun, fast-paced, and fiery romance.”
–Road to Romance

“Ortolon’s protagonists must overcome some tough emotional issues before they can set their sights on the future, but their journey is laced with humor and even a little history (provided by the inn’s ghosts). Earnest and endearing, Ortolon’s newest is a heartwarming and at times heartrending read.”

Julie Ortolon's writing is wonderful. It's emotional, it's humorous and, at times, it's downright sexy. I just didn't want to stop reading Lead Me On!
