Gift of the Heart

"Where do I start? I love this novella! This is the first time I have read something by Suzanne Barrett and I fell in love with her writing style...have added her to my must read authors list for future releases. I give it 5 stars, as I couldn’t find any fault with this novella." --Booked Up Reviews

"Suzanne Barrett writes an unusual romantic story every time she picks up a pen (er, keyboard).In this case, the story of a young mother struggling to establish a new life for herself and her son in a quaint small California town is one of her most moving and heartfelt works. Ms. Barrett has a true writer's gift for bringing people and places to life--I won't easily forget this short novella as it really plucks all my heartstrings and makes me think, as well: how many, many young women work to carry out their role as good parents and find personal fulfillment, too. Life isn't easy, and Ms. Barrett doesn't shy away from making it understandable and realistic and wonderfully uplifting, as well. Bravo." --Carolyn Woolston, Amazon review

Taming Rowan

"A totally sexy read with charming characters that will keep you glued to every page! The interaction between (Karin and Rowan) is sexy with a whole lot of fun and the combination makes for a great romance that you won't want to put down!

If I have my way, I'll be reading much, much more from Ms. Barrett!" --Night Owl Reviews

"Suzanne Barrett proves that she has all the qualities great romance writers are made of. She mixes just the right amount of intrigue and sensuality to keep her readers on the edge of their seats. " --Sharon Galligar Chance

"Watching these two do battle with each other is the most amusing part of the story. There is explicit sex in the story, but it fits. It's part of Rowan trying to come to terms with his feelings for Karin. Even the story of their engineering feat is good reading. The smaller characters are all interesting, too. This author has created a "family" of engineers. Having the story set in England is an additional bonus. You even get to walk the fell with Karin and Rowan." --The Long and Short of It Reviews

"...a story with wonderful characters, a good plot, and fine writing...writing style is clean, emotional and engaging...plenty of conflict and sexual tension. Ms. Barrett provides a rich, strong romance to please any true contemporary romance fan."--Martha's Book Reviews


In Love and War

"Ms Barrett has a wonderful creative writing style and I found it so easy to visualize the settings and characters in my mind. She also has the ability to convey the characters' emotions with such raw intensity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a well-written and thought-provoking story, complex characters and powerful emotions." --The Romance Reviews

"This novel delivers everything romance fans love and so much more! ...takes place in a country where legend is based in reality, and reality is often romanticized in prose, poetry, and song. I am an Irish-American woman who was raised on stirring songs of rebellion. In Love and War made me set aside my own romantic ideas and reexamine those shades of gray we so often overlook." --Author Margaret Ethridge

"...a fine example of the "wish-they-still-published-books-like this" variety: unput-downable and unforgettable." --Author Lynna Banning

"War correspondent Quinn Lawlor plans to write a scathing novel about the Irish rebellion. What he doesn't expect is to become involved with a woman whose own family and past is deeply ingrained with the I.R.A. (The author) put a great deal of research and care into the Irish rebellion and she does an amazing job giving the reader insight into the situation from a more personal level rather than just something you'd see in passing on the news. IN LOVE AND WAR is by no means a lighthearted read...thought provoking and emotionally driven with characters who could easily be your own loved ones."--Romance Junkies


Late Harvest

"A contemporary romance with an Alpha hero just waiting to be tamed, Late Harvest is an interesting foray into the intricacies of wine making, especially making ice wine--eiswein--from the grapes of a late harvest. Ms. Barrett's heroines are very definitely women of this century--women who make their own decisions and live with them. LATE HARVEST is a bountiful feast for an avid reader, a feast to be savored." --Under the Covers Reviews

"Late Harvest throbs with unrequited love. It bears out the veracity of the adage--better late than never. Suzanne Barrett crams a wealth of emotion, hard work, and social interaction into this short novel. The descriptions, introspections, and humor grabs the attention and keeps one reading." --The Long and Short of It Romance Reviews

"...a poignant love story of two people who must come to terms with their past if they have any chance of recapturing the love they once shared. ...a book which will definitely tug at your heart strings.." --The Romance Reviews
