Recent from a reader
A recent review of my latest book
"I don't know about other readers but for me it's not just the happy ending. The journey has to be fraught with obstacles and difficulties to make the happy ending worth it. The thing I love best about any of your work is that no matter the obstacle you always find a way for the couple to overcome it and it's not some unrealistic magic fix. Love takes work and you show that. Your characters are also not perfect, they have their strengths and weaknesses clearly on display for readers to really get into the characters heads. At least that's how it is for me." (sweet_candy89, 21/1/2018)

Convenience
Snippet from the next book- 'Convenience'
The woman standing at the podium had his surname and wore his ring on her finger, but she was nothing like the woman he'd married. The last time he'd seen his wife was five years ago. What a difference five years made.
Beatrice Cardoso stood gracefully in front of the gathered group, a picture of elegance, poise and breeding. Her simple silk black dress was a few inches scant of knee length, and was worn over black leggings and with flat black pumps. Simple understated elegance. On her wrist was a slender simple silver watch. At her throat was a long strand of silver beads that were matched by the string beads at her ears. Her only other piece of jewellery was a wedding ring. No engagement ring. Then he remembered he hadn't given her an engagement ring. There hadn't been any need, or any occasion.
As David Cardoso stood at the back of the hall and listened to her. She graciously thanked the gathered throng for the award they had bestowed upon her. He wondered why it had taken him till today to notice the way in which she carried herself. The easy grace with which she moved and the simple sophistication of her outfit screamed class and poise. She looked elegant and sophisticated. So far removed from the young, nervous woman who had stood at a registry office, wearing a simple white silk shift dress, and said the words necessary to make them man and wife.
He could count the number of times they had met on the fingers of both hands, and even then he wouldn't have had to use all his fingers. It was an arranged marriage that brought benefit to two families. Even if the adult parties who had agreed to the marriage organised on their behalf had barely had a chance to exchange platitudes let alone small talk. He found himself intrigued. It had never occurred to him that she would change. That she could change.
But the woman standing on that podium was definitely not the woman he married.

The Spice Sisters
Spice Sisters Series:
Tempestuous (The Spice Sisters Book 1)
Six seconds of eye contact between Catalina Braganza and Quinn Hunter was what it took. Catalina Braganza, one of four sisters, was home to spend two weeks over the Christmas holidays with her parents. Brothers, Quinn and Jared Hunter, who had recently bought the spice company owned by her parents, were invited to spend the holidays with the Braganza family. Her parents often invited people to visit. But none of their previous guests caused Catalina’s heart to hammer and wits to scatter over something as simple as short collision of gazes. Quinn wasn’t expecting Catalina Braganza, in any way or form. He knew exactly what he wanted in a wife, which is why he’d given a dating agency a description of the qualities he sought. Catalina Braganza exhibited none of those qualities but his head and heart were navigating a path far from expected, with a tempestuous woman who did not fit his dating criteria, let alone meet the credentials needed to be his wife.
Precious (The Spice Sisters Book 2)
As the non-Triplet sister to three stunning women, Alaina was used to taking the back seat. But when her parents invited the two brothers who were taking over the family business to spend the holidays with them, Alaina found herself in the spotlight. Jared's attention made her both nervous and excited. But being the type who made lists, ran through the pros and cons and then reached a decision, Alaina wanted more time to think about the sudden attraction. She had decided a long time back that she was not going to be second choice and the fact she was going to have to take the risk of a lifetime panicked her into stepping back. But that was a mistake and one that took a long time to sort out.
Impetuous (The Spice Sisters Book 3)
Bianca Braganza, was the practical, relaxed easy-going Triplet. She didn't do impetuous. Not unless it involved Keane Monahan. Something she realised when she went home for Christmas, ten years after their one and only date, bumped into him and all but jumped the man again. Nothing had changed in ten years. Just a pity that she was still in love with him and he was attempting to steer clear. Until one unexpected night decided their fate. This is the third book in the Spice Series.

Reviews from Karen
Karen's review (book- You See Me): "If you love reading about strong women and the real men that love them, then Susan Garod never disappoints! The characters are complex with intriguing, interconnected story arcs, which continue in each series with their multiple characters and side stories and makes them such a pleasure to read. Joshua's Grace is the perfect starting point if you haven't read any of Susan's books, and follow the Carvalho sisters into the Moonlight series, Spice Sisters and the Heartbeat series. You See Me elicited the same response as all the preceding books by Susan Garod - I loved it!"
Now, I am writing a book about a character in- " You See Me" -
For me, I like to dive into a new story and just start free writing...

2 last days of the free book
#CourtshipandConsequence - a #Romance book.
On the Amazon website, I can only keep this book available (free) for just 5 days.
So if you want to get a free book, go to Amazon before 10th October.
First paragraph
-
Chapter 1
"Am I keeping you awake?" The sardonic drawl did nothing to hide the irritation lacing the words. The rest of the group turned to stare at her as if she had just grown two heads.
Of course Marina knew he was addressing her, she didn't need the collective herd to identify her with their anticipatory stares. She had tried hard to stifle that yawn, and tried desperately not to get caught yawning by anyone, least of all him, but he would have to turn at that exact moment. Typical. And it would have to be him.
But she was exhausted. Beyond exhaustion. And that made her both cranky and thoughtless, so her reply did her no favours. "Yes." The words were out before she had even thought them. And then to add to her dilemma she compounded it all by adding haughtily, "You are."
