About the author

Hi thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!


Lynn Hubbard is a historical romance author. Her titles include: Run into the Wind, Chase the Moon, Return to Love, Desperado, War of Hearts and several others.

Lynn likes to instill humor and realism into her books & characters, because Sex is Funny.

I have been writing for over ten years and published for four. I have a twisted sense of humor and try to impart that into my writing. I am a sucker for happy endings. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to read, but when I do, I enjoy non-fiction books as well as fiction. I am currently reading a book on K2, the second tallest mountain in the world. My favorite book series is Trixie Belden. Trixie was my best friend growing up and we still visit from time to time. I have two very creative and talented sons, and two dogs. I live in rural Georgia and love it!

This story captures the essence of a ya romance. Joanie is a great strong minded character and I instantly understood her and connected with her very early on. There are numerous moments of that falling in love for the first time feeling and you feel it right along with her. There's even a little bit of adventure that might have you holding your breath from time to time. The story takes you back to simpler time of no texting and actually dialing a phone to chat with your friends. Love it!
