"Midnight Sons" series by Debbie Macomber



I just finished reading the "Midnight Sons" series by Debbie Macomber. Originally published between 1995-1996, The series has been rereleased as a 3 Volume set. Also included is a bonus story released in 2000.

As Mrs. Macomber states in her forward, "Midnight Sons" was her first venture into writing six closely connected books. Due to the popularity of this series, she went on to write the "Heart of Texas" series and several more series, including the most recent "Cedar Cove" series. Which by the way is now a TV series on the Hallmark Channel. 

Debbie Macomber is a prolific author and has been on the New York Times and USA Today best sellers list several times. One of the reasons that I enjoy reading books by this author is that she writes characters that are warm, funny, and feel like they could be your next door neighbor. She always brings a sense of warmth and humor to everything she writes. 

Below are the back cover descriptions from each book. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.
