edit data

Joanna Barker firmly believes that romance makes everything better, which is why she has fallen in love with writing Regency romances. When she’s not typing away on her next book, you’ll find her listening to podcasts, eating her secret stash of chocolate, or adding things to her Amazon cart. Joanna thinks being an author is the second-best job in the world—right after being a mom. She is just a little crazy about her husband and three wild-but-lovable kids.

Quotes by Joanna Barker (?)

“I hated the sight of it, marring the smooth skin of my forearm. But then I set my jaw. That scar meant I had survived. That I had people who loved me enough to dig through the night to reach me. I decided right then that every time I noticed my scar, I would say a prayer of gratitude for each and every blessing that I had.”
― Joanna Barker, A Game of Hearts

“Kindness matters most when it is hardest to give, she always said.”
― Joanna Barker, Beauty and the Baron

“You must stop kissing me!' I scolded him, words I never thought I would say. But my need for answers outweighed my need for his lips on mine, at least for the moment.”
― Joanna Barker, A Heart Worth Stealing
