Why Bartlett’s Rule?
Reviewed by Bobi
When Paige and Lon met it was purely for business but it wasn’t long before their hearts took control. Paige’s past comes back to haunt them and they soon come to realize that the devastating effects of rape and abuse extend beyond time and place to impact more than the primary victim herself. Lon has to grapple with his own intense anger and hurt over Paige’s assault. He also has to overcome mis-perceptions of his personal character while building a foundation of trust between himself and Paige.
Ms. Cordero skillfully tackles this topic as she poignantly tells the story of their journey to heal and develop a relationship based on strong reliance.
Bartlett’s Rule is more than a love story; it relates a valuable lesson for both men and women.

We are in a quandary – Vanilla Heart Publishing likes my next manuscript, but we can’t decide on a name. I originally called this story “A Common Bond” but Kimberlee likes “Tangled Hearts” and plans to release this book around February for Valentine’s Day.
So please, help us to decide:
About the book…
Dennis Gillette has two too many fathers according to his mom, Layne, and both men are rich and powerful and either could afford to take her son away from her. One man is merciless, authoritarian and she fears him – the other is demanding, determined and sexy as hell. What happens when the two men have to face off against each other? Which one will win her love and which one will win her son?
Layne never met Justin until he showed up on her doorstep to claim his son, the same son she ran away with when she was pregnant to keep him from her husband, Charles. So is it a common bond they share, or is it a tale of tangled hearts? Or maybe you have another suggestion…
Send your suggestions to me at ChelleCordero@gmail.com and put your title choice in the subject line; be sure to put your name and mailing address into the body of the email because you just might win a prize!
If we choose your suggestion you can win a copy of my next release A Chaunce of Riches (in November which will include a preview of my next book) AND your name will be mentioned in Dedications & Acknowledgments in A Common Bond/Tangled Hearts/Tangled Common Bond Hearts and Elephant (!?). There will be a random drawing if multiple entries arrive with the same chosen title.
All entries are due by October 31!
The day that Ben Johnson was hired as a bodyguard for some rich widow and her kid, he never expected to be working for the woman who had abandoned him just when he had needed her the most so many years before. Damn it all, he still wanted her.
Samantha Chaunce never thought she would see him again. She never thought she would have to explain why she married the rich man over the man she had sworn she once loved. And she certainly never expected to find out that her rich husband had been murdered and fingers were pointing to her former lover.
