"...fans will root for [Molly] to marry for love not for just becoming FINALLY A BRIDE." -- Harriet Klausner, Genre-Go-Round Reviews

"Having read several of the “Wedding Party” series, I was most interested in reading about the runaway bride.  This series has followed the members of the wedding party of the marriage of Molly McClintock and Josh Towers. There were her best friends Brenna, Abby and Colleen and the men included her brother, the best man and the groom. The stories are take place simultaneously and Finally a Bride is one of the better entries I read.  ...it is a fun, engaging and at times, heartbreaking look at love with someone who you think you know as well as you know yourself.  Finally A Bride is a good ending for the series – but read the other books too for total enjoyment." -- Shirley Lyons, The Romance Reader

Finally a Bride (4.5) is the last in Lisa Childs' "wedding that wasn't" series. Eric South has loved his best friend, Molly McClintock, since second grade, and everyone knows it.

"Finally a Bride is a very bittersweet romance about friends becoming lover and discover love was right there in front of them all along. Easy fast pace reading.  The dialogue was well written. The characters too sweet and charming, you will love them. Read it, you will love it...I know I did! :)  Grade: A" -- Julia's Book Corner

"Dr. Josh Towers was stood up at the altar, but the maid of honor, Brenna Kelly was taking it harder than he was. Two people who should have met first now have to figure their way through the mess of the wedding that wasn’t.

This is the third book in a series of 4 books. The stories all run simultaneously, this allows each book to stand alone and there is enough time between books that the repetitive back story does not become too annoying. Each couple have had their own unique personalities and ‘voices.’ But so far my favorite story has been this one.

I love the woman that Brenna is, she is very confident in certain areas of her life, but remains uncertain about her beauty. I’ve made enough negative comments about cover art with some books, so, I want to make note that this artist got it right. The h is describe has being big and having come to terms with her size. The cover art reflects this beautifully. This is a thumbs up book!"  -- Nancy - eHarlequin Reviews

Will the tentative bond these two unlikely lovers forge be enough to convince them to work out their trust issues? Spending time in Cloverville with the McClintock clan reminds readers why community and all of our relationships are so important." -- Whitney Kate Sullivan, RT BookClub

"Abby Hilton was a free spirit and a hell-raiser. Responsible Clayton McClintock didn't have time for her antics when they were in high school and, eight years later, he certainly doesn't have time for them. But like it or not Abby is coming back to Cloverville for the wedding of Clayton's sister. What Clayton doesn't know is that since the birth of her daughter, Abby has settled down and straightened up.

The third and final book in the Cooper sisters trilogy, Lisa Childs' Damned (3), proves an exciting conclusion to the story.

"DAMNED combines the supernatural with actuality in a heartfelt romance, producing a chilling tale of enduring love.  With the constant action and rollercoaster emotions throughout the story, the concluding book in the Witch Hunt trilogy will grab you with its building suspense and powerful feelings. Lisa Childs has created an intriguing world where the lives of three sisters become intertwined during the deadly hunt for them by a deranged killer.  With internal conflicts and often death-defying moments, Lisa Childs knows how to draw readers into her Nocturne stories. In her compelling Witch Hunt trilogy, there is never a dull moment, as there is always either an emotional issue or an incident fraught with danger being faced by her main characters. The stakes are extremely high in the third book, as the killer is even more single-minded in his quest for the charms.  The evil in this story is terrifyingly portrayed with ruthlessness and determination, and makes every occurrence where he is present unnerving. With spirited characters and a thrilling plot, DAMNED is a rewarding conclusion to an enthralling trilogy. " -- Amelia Richard, CataRomance.com

"DAMNED is an exciting urban romantic fantasy that will appeal to readers of both genres. This bewitching tale centers on two downtrodden people who find each other at a time when each has a personal crisis although in Irina's case hers is deadly. There is plenty of action as Donovan tries to kill Irina while Ty tries to keep her safe. The changing relationship between Irina and Ty enhance an exhilarating thriller in which love might not prove strong enough to defeat evil." --  Harriet Klausner

"In a stunning sequel to Haunted, Persecuted is a journey into a mother’s worst nightmare. The kidnapping of Elena’s daughter is a situation that grips a reader to sit at attention as they follow along through the novel. Fear and danger leap out at you keeping the thudding in your chest roaring until you reach the very end. Part of a three part series, one can hardly anticipate what Lisa Childs has in store for us in Damned. Though after the interview that is featured on this months update, this reviewer has it on good authority that some of the secondary characters from this series could be back in a major way.

Lisa Childs does a wonderful job of keeping things mysterious, leaving us only little crumbs to follow along as she writes. This is not to say however her style lags in any way, quite the contrary she gives us just enough to carry the story. With so many questions unanswered the conclusion to this trio will be no doubt a great one." -- Joyce, CK's Kwips & Kritiques

"The second book in the enthralling Witch Hunt series continues the story of three sisters being hunted because they are witches. These women are sought because they possess special charms which a fanatic desires above all else. With powerful emotions and gripping action, Lisa Childs delivers a captivating story with PERSECUTED.  Regardless of the genre in which Lisa Childs writes, she creates memorable characters and intriguing storylines to thoroughly entertain readers. In her latest paranormal story, the details are chillingly real and the personalities of each character are genuinely depicted. Whether Ms. Child is showing how Elena’s abilities affect her or describing the potent feelings between her and Joseph, the scene is always skillfully presented. This story is filled with emotions, some angry, others fearful and numerous passionate yearnings. When the characters felt these inner thoughts or even expressed them, I was pulled deeper into their personal lives, which had me either concerned for them or despising them for their devious and hurtful ways.  The reason for the resurrected witch hunt is cleverly written, and there are several surprising developments during this story. The book’s ending has me anxiously in anticipation of the next story. PERSECUTED is a stirring paranormal romance, where wonder and reality are cleverly blended." -- Amelia Richard, SingleTitles.com

"5 clovers and awarded a Recommended Read.  Lisa Childs proves herself to be a writer that will be sought after soon enough, so for now it is comparable to finding a rare gem amongst a barrel of beads. Discovering authors you never knew were out there makes every new book a chance at becoming one of many books you wouldn’t be able to live without. Lisa Childs is one of those authors who may just make that sacred list. Unfortunately as a Silhouette book Haunted won’t be available forever as once the limited supply is sold out the chance of exploring this starts to deteriorate.

"Learning To Hula, while a book about the grieving process and losing a loved one, is also a book about family relationships and taking new chances in life. The small town atmosphere lends a cozy feel to the book, and the dynamics of Holly’s family (especially her sisters) are often amusing. There are not many surprises in this often predictable book; that said, this is about the journey, not the destination, and Learning to Hula is an enjoyable read if the reader keeps that in mind. " -- Shannon Bigham, Curled Up with a Good Book

"LEANING TO HULA is a deep look at the grieving process as Holly and her children struggle in their own ways with the "death by cupcakes" of her husband and their father. Even Holly sisters mourn in a realistic way the demise of their brother-in-law. The character driven story line uses angst and humor to insure that readers understand that grief is customized to the needs of the surviving loved ones. Though action-free except for the nasty but realistic behavior of the kids, fans of powerful character studies will want to learn to hula alongside Holly and company." -- Harriet Klausner

Together, along with some interesting secondary characters, Ms. Childs ended up with a great read." -- Gabrielle Channing, NovelSpot

The last thing he wants to do is make another promise to a child. However, his feelings take a sharp change for both Jeremy and Sarah; he is surprised at the level of his feelings for both of them. It was good to read a dark hero who was able to recognize that giving up is no way to live.   Lisa Childs is a new author to me.
