COWBOY LIES, Romantic Times Four-Star Book Review. (April 2009 Issue)

While the amnesia storyline is an often overused one, in Lakes’ talented hands “old” becomes “new,” and the heroine’s amnesia adds a necessary element to the story. This is the first book in the Ryan Ranch trilogy, and it offers passionate, strong-willed characters and plenty of unexpected intrigue.

Personal reflections:

I can’t live without: my family, writing, my writing buddies, strawberries with nonfat whipped topping, chocolate and Twinings
Four Red Fruits tea or vanilla black tea.

I love to: walk, meet new friends, dance, roller-skate, oil paint and travel.

Writing is like: running full speed down a new path full of twists and turns.

My hope is: That you enjoy my stories and find your own truth in them.

My best moment: It hasn’t come yet. But it will be great!

I believe in: living strong, determined and full speed ahead.

My vow: to never put the .38 in the saddle bag without drawing it, and to never forget the black moment or the golden ending.
