Latest Reviews

Jenifer, at Coffee Time Romance, writes:

Ms. Payne’s book is full of twists and turns. The reader cannot help but feel sorry and root for Aubrey at the same time. The way the author writes the scenery makes you believe you are there. The secondary characters give the story depth and some humor. The sex scenes are tension filled and explosive. Founder will have you on the edge of your seat throughout the story wondering if Aubrey and Kelly ever get where you want them to be.

They've given Founder five cups! "An Ultra Rare Extraordinary Read".
