Smooth Sailing: A Second Chance Romance
When recently-divorced Edie Montgomery discovers the cruise she's been booked on is called the Meet Your Mature Match cruise, she wants to grab her luggage and run. Widower Adam Armstrong is kicking himself for taking on the assignment of reviewing a cruise catering to the over-fifty crowd. Sure, he's over fifty, but he's not seeking a match--mature or otherwise. But romance and love aren't only reserved for the young. (No part of this book is AI generated.)

"Unconditional is an important story about love, redemption, family and the amazing power of forgiveness. The heart and love can expand endlessly and these characters are setting the pace."

Reinventing Christmas is a fun, light-hearted holiday story. Linda Rettstatt is a pro with flirting, sexy banter, and sweet romance.

NEXT TIME I’M GONNA DANCE is a fantastic tale of family and friendship and the bonds that strengthen when forged in fire. Ms. Rettstatt has definitely created a remarkable story filled with hope, and I will look forward to whatever she happens to write next.

In addition to being an excellent work of fiction, "Act of Contrition" is an in-depth look into a woman's struggle with survivor's guilt and grief after the deaths of her husband and young son. Jennifer Barnes' journey through grief touched me on a personal level and is so realistic that it brought tears to my eyes. I especially liked how Linda Rettstatt described Jenny's efforts to avoid involvement with her first love when he reenters her life at her most vulnerable. This book is a page-turner and I hated setting it aside to do my chores. I heartily recommend "Act of Contrition".

Lately I have been deliberately looking for romances with older couples and this one was exactly what I was wanting. The couple are in their 50s and the romance is just right. Hits a lot of nice emotional notes. Touches on the issues of adult children and past relationships that would arise. Great best friend. As the hero says, “Who says a mature adult can’t fall head over heels in love again?”
