This Old House

by Linda Randall Wisdom

Devlin Grant and Megan Abernathy wed in a fever of passion. A short time later, they divorced in a fit of fury. No one would have dared to bring them together again.... — Except a woman who'd had an even more notorious past. When Megan and Devlin met at the run-down California Victorian they'd inherited from Devlin's grandmother. it was any9one's guess how the runion would end.

But, Devlin and Megan couldn't have been more surprised when their hands-on renovation project unleashed the torrid flame of temptation.

And just about the time they learned about the scnadalous past of Gram's house, it began to have an equally scandalous present....

When I sold to Silhouette books on my wedding anniversary in 1979 I didn't expect to get this far. I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else. I'm married living with Katie, a white mini Schnauzer who considers herself the center of our world, Hunter, a Yorkie mix who's a real mama's boy, Olivia my darling diva chihuahua, Dutch, our easy going happy go lucky terrier mix, Syd, our Panama Nape parrot, and Florence, our demented tortoise. We live in Southern California near San Diego in a town that's provided fodder for some of my stories. Once upon a time, I could say that when we moved here there were three romance writers. Now there is only me and to date I have not been considered a suspect. More romance authors have moved in and are safe and sound...so far.

A lot of my backlist books are now available for your Kindle and in print along with new novellas featuring the first witches in the Hex series along with my second love, romantic suspense books. And more books coming!

My Hex series are the books of my heart. The ones I've wanted to write for a long time and so glad to see out there. Many readers are confused by the two Demon titles and different cover looks. They're a part of the Hex series, still the disgraced witches from the Witches Academy, just with a different look. And yes, more Hex books will be coming!

There are times I think I enjoy writing the creatures more than the characters. And probably why my Fluff and Puff bunny slippers tend to never be where I left them! That's more than easy to do since they're tattooed on one ankle and Horace is tattooed on the other.

I'm very thankful for my readers for sticking to me.

[ANGELIA · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was okay, but I think it would have been better as a TV movie (one of those time-killer ones) than a book. (And more for the grandmother's story than the H and h.) It was too drawn out, could have been about 50 pages or so less, and the side characters got a bit annoying after a time. Also, I never got the feeling that the H and h were all that in love, they came across as more friends-with-benefits. And 15 years is way too long a separation, my limit is usually 5, give or take a year or two, NOT a decade and a half!

No big deal if you skip this one.

I read this book for the first time when I was in junior high or high school and was completely enamored with the idea of fixing up some cruddy old house with my ex-husband. Ah the dreams of youth!

I don't think it has particularly stood the test of time. People go around accusing each other of being "yuppies" and snarling about car phones. On the other hand, at least the people on the front cover have heads.
