Holly Jacobs leads a life full of romance and adventure. From skydiving to jet-setting around Europe, from snorkeling in coral reefs to writing while wearing beautiful silk peignoir sets and popping chocolate bonbons, Holly Jacobs leads a life that is the epitome of romance... Well, my fictional life sounds more interesting, but not better than my real life. Really, I'm the happily married mother of four. I cook a lot, garden and weave baskets! I write for Montlake Romance and Harlequin. My books range from lighthearted comedies to more serious dramas...but at heart, they're all stories of love. You can visit me at http://www.HollyJacobs.com. FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/HollyJacobsA... TWITTER: https://twitter.com/HollyJacobs1 PINTEREST: http://www.pinterest.com/hollyjacobs1/ I don't always set out to write a series of books, but seem to find myself gravitating to them. Because so many people have asked, I've posted lists of all my series in order at www.hollyjacobs.com/bookseries.html. I really try to make each story stand alone, but many of my readers enjoy reading the series in order. Hope this helps! Thank you to everyone who's picked up a single book, or more of them. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by so much support! Holly
