Fennel, reviewer for Long & Short Romance Reviews gives FULL THROTTLE 4.5 out of 5 books
“With a full complement of strong secondary characters, Ms Morehouse steers her hero and heroine along the very rocky road to a HEA. But it is the situations, challenges, threats and dangers she puts in their way that grabs the readers’ attention. Both main characters represent people we meet everyday, people the reader can equate with. They are stong, they are flawed. They have lessons to learn.For Harley Bike fans this book is a must. For the rest of us, the book stands on the strength of the characters and the the unusual environment. It’s a fantastic, entertaining read that I highly recommend.”

Simply Romance Reviews gives GOLDEN ENCHANTMENT an “A” rating
Golden Enchantment by Candace Morehouse is an absolutely delightful story about a young woman returning to honor her father’s wishes and winding up in a rattlesnake’s nest of trouble. Historically accurate in most every detail, the story enraptures the reader from the moment you open the book until the last page is turned. A strong story line in addition to well-written and enticing erotic scenes make this one of the best Old West history pieces I’ve read in along time”

You Gotta Read Reviews, gives VEIL OF DECEPTION a “You Gotta Read” rating – the highest possible
“Veil of Deception made me feel as though I were a part of this close knit community. I was the neighbor that got to peek into the lives of my neighbors sight unseen. I got to call them a best friend, a sister, or a brother. I felt their joys, pain, and anguish. I wanted to meddle and give my opinion every once in a while. I loved Danielle. She was such a strong woman that lived with a secret that haunted her for ten years. I felt that Hawk needed to stand up to his sister in law and tell her what he honestly thought. I enjoyed this book because it flowed. Even though there were two authors, it was very seamless. I enjoyed being a resident of Spenser Lake even for a few hours.”

With some wonderful multi-dimensional characters, mystery and some sexual tension sprinkled within the pages, Mr. Davis & Ms. Morehouse deftly weave a spell around the readers’ as they try to navigate the VEIL OF DECEPTION that covers Spenser Lake and its residents.
