“True to Dorothy Shaw’s form, Avoiding the Badge is full of everything I love about her writing.”—Amanda at Wicked Good Reads

“I liked the way the author brought about the truths that they had been keeping from each other, and I really enjoyed the steps that the two characters took in order to overcome the troubles in their path.”—Amazon reviewer on Avoiding the Badge

“Redeeming the Badge is a second chance romance that is hot as Hades and with a backstory that will twist your heartstrings.” —Amazon Reviewer

“This is a tale of love and heartache, dealing with some tough issues such as infertility, endometriosis, and miscarriage. It will tear at your heartstrings and make you believe in true love.” —Amazon Reviewer on Redeeming the Badge

“It was written in a way that I got very emotional reading it, most books don’t make me cry. This one did.”—Amazon reviewer on Jaded Heart

“As usual, Shaw creates characters that can be hard to like. Garrett is not easy to connect to. He treats Angie like crap, but Angie keeps fighting for them. Their flameout moment is painful to read about but very necessary. Garrett has to deal with his past, which he has been avoiding for years and years. With all of this, I still couldn't put the book down.”— Romance Novel News on Jaded Heart

One I forgot to mention in Defensive Heart, book 2, is author Shawna (Thomas) Guzman… Chica, I could thank you a thousand times, plus a thousand times more, and it would never be enough. You took me by the hand and molded, shaped, taught and then, with a soft heart but firm hand, taught some more. I could not have made it this far without you. I still have so far to go, but I will forever be grateful for you.
