The year (or so) in review ...
DANCING LADIES: “Marilyn Gardiner has written a spellbinding story, guaranteed to keep you turning pages to see what happens next. Prepare to stay up late with this one. And don’t read it during an intense rainstorm or in a house that creaks at night.” -- J D Webb, Author of Shepherd’s Pie, 5 stars
"DANCING LADIES is a great tale that grabs hold of the reader. I couldn't stop (reading) until the ending which left me with spine-tingling sensations. The romantic suspense in this story is stunning. Gardiner weaves a great paranormal with just the right touch of mystery. Her style of writing really kept me spellbound." - Linda L., The Romance Studio, 5 hearts.
"WINDOW ON WINDEMERE is a real page turner, as Zoe fights against whispered voices in the dark, and shadows that she can't prove are there. Someone wants her dead." -- Conger Books Review, 5 stars -- A golden Wings Award winner for excellence in writing.
"BANJO EYES by Marilyn Gardiner is a suspenseful tale of true love, betrayal, rejection and deception. When Lily goes back home to settle her late father’s affairs, weird things begin happening, and she doesn’t know who she can trust. This is a real page turner, right up to the shocking conclusion." -- JoEllen Conger, Conger Books Review
Marilyn Gardiner has done well in capturing the essence of the times, and the courage of people to find a new place to start new lives. As depicted by the title, the plot, suspense and romance, flow, not always steadily, but sometimes with a fierceness that dares readers to leave the story. LIKE A RIVER, MY LOVE, the tale's depth will hold you fast until you reach the end of the journey. -- The Word on Romance. A golden Wings Award winner for excellence in writing.
"MISTLETOE & HOLLY is so suspenseful and full of chills, you won't be able to put it down, until you know for sure...who done it! When a stalker threatens Bree & her daughter, the holiday turns deadly." -- Conger Books Review, 5 stars

"The depth of characters draw you...to share their pain and triumphs. MY PRETTY LADY is a story of emotional growth, and learning to move on, one you won't want to pass up." -- The Rite Lifestyle Reviews.
Brenda, The Rite Lifestyle There are good writers and there are great writers. Wings author Marilyn Gardiner definitely leads the pack in the second category. I've just finished WHEN THE WIND BLOWS and was "blown away" by this author's talent! You won't find tired cliches and hackneyed metaphors in this suspenseful, child-in-jeopardy tale about a frantic mother's heart-stopping search for her young son. The romance is subtle and the focus is on Molly's internal struggle to unravel what is and what only seems to be, all the while trying not to fall in love with her fellow sleuth. The scenes are vivid and visual, and this reader found herself racing toward the end along with the heroine. That search being done, the next one will be for Marilyn Gardiner's next book. WHEN THE WIND BLOWS is a fabulous work! A must read for all romantic suspense fans. -- Highly recommended, Anne Carter, Beacon Street Books
"FLIGHT OF ANGELS is a ghost story with a twist. A chilling mystery, it is also a warm love story of the reassertion of love between a husband and wife. Peopled with absorbing characters within a fascinating story line, ANGELS will keep you turning pages." --Romantic Times, 4 stars -- A golden Wings Award winner for excellence in writing.
