Oh, thank you for the mention, Sandy! I was really relieved that the final book in the Strongbox trilogy was able to come out. Someday I hope to have the opportunity to write the others books in that series!

Thanks for the eulogy, Sandy. It is a bummer, but not all that surprising in these days of weird and wacky romanceland. Everything, it seems, is a crapshoot. I give kudos to Harlequin/Silhouette for giving this line a shot.

It does suck to be an orphan, and to have a completed, contracted manuscript that will never see the light of day, but I’m the philosophical sort, and see it as a shove to move into other subgenres.

My thanks to everyone who gave Bombshell a chance.

Happy New Year!

I’m going to miss this line, especially the later books. It seems like it took them a little while to figure out where they were going, but once they did they were great.

I agree.
I really enjoy series and non-wimp heroines.

Not a series reader.
Have no memory for them.
But I did like the concept of a kick butt heroine.

I’ll miss the bombshell series. I like a strong-willed, kick-butt heroine. Cindy Dees, Cate Dermody, the Madonna Key series were all great stories.

I won’t miss Bombshells. I loved the idea for the line but could never even get through one of the books, even the big award winning ones.

I’ll miss the Bombshell line, too. I loved Cindy Dees Medusa Series and was looking forward to Carol Stephenson’s next law-based book. (Courting Danger was the first.)

I am sad to see the line go too, there was so much potential out there.

I certainly love a heroine who can stand on her own two feet, move on, and find a little love by the end.

And I find that more in the paranormal market rather than the contemporary market. I hope that soon romance can move forward, and allow for slightly different types of romance to filter into the mainstream market.

I’ve never read Bombshell. For some reason I assumed that it was a sexier version of the romances. With that assumption I just wasn’t interested. I buy my erotic romances from epubs. I guess I missed out.
