Ok, not I'm confused! I've read the first five and I don't remember a male virgin! Now I'll just have to start from the beginning and read them all again just to find this. NO, don't tell me where it is, that would mean I couldn't start over!

I just finished the seventh book in the Outlander series and I loved it. The first book had me hooked. It is the only book I have ever read where the MAN was the virgin!! I love historical romance novels.

I've read a few of her books too. They are harder to come across.

I'll have to look for her books. Sounds fun with the quilt block titles!

I don't know why her books are named after quilt blocks, bc there is very little "quilt" talk in her books. They are light mysteries.

I love cozy mysteries too: love the Agatha Raisin series by MC Beaton, and the Miss Winter series by By Katherine Haines.
I also loved loved loved "And Ladies of the Club" by Helen Hooven Santmeyer. (not a mystery).

Catherine Ritch Guess's series about The Adventures of Miz Eudora Rumph of Smackass Gap, N.C. The first in the series is slow starting but once it gets going it's hilarious. The second is just as funny---I was roaring out loud with laughter as I was reading. I'm planning on getting the third in the series in just a few weeks, then re-reading them all together. I picked up the first two in Paducah at the quilt show last year. Catherine had a booth set up in Eleanor Burns' fabric tent. She won't be there this year (new grandbaby due) but her books will be.
I also like anything by Nicholas Sparks, Wanda Brunstetter and Jeanette Oke.

A real page turner and a NY best seller.
Just looked for this book on my library's site. Who is the author? TY!!
