Praise for Carla Laureano

The Saturday Night Supper Club

Carla Laureano has written a delicious romance you’ll want to devour in one sitting. Filled with sugar and spice, The Saturday Night Supper Club will leave you hungry for more from this talented author.”

IRENE HANNON, BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND THREE-TIME RITA AWARD WINNER

“With descriptions that will make even the least-foodie among readers salivate, The Saturday Night Supper Club is a romantic feast for the imagination as well as the heart. In this, her fourth contemporary romance release, author Carla Laureano serves up a delectable contemporary romance within a cautionary tale for the age of social media. At turns devastating and delightful, this novel contrasts the heartbreak of instant infamy against the charm of a budding attraction. A savory story garnished with the sweetness of friendship, it chronicles the reshaping of Rachel’s career as romance simmers on the back burner, waiting for its turn at the table. And when that romantic dessert course is served? Delicious. Highly recommended!”

USA TODAY

“From page one, Five Days in Skye captured my imagination and every minute of my pleasure-reading time.

TAMARA LEIGH, AUTHOR OF SPLITTING HARRIET AND THE UNVEILING, BOOK ONE IN THE AGE OF FAITH SERIES

“After reading Five Days in Skye, I wanted to pack my bags and catch the first flight to Scotland to discover Skye for myself. In her debut novel, Carla Laureano brought Skye alive with vivid detail, drew me into the main characters’ budding romance, and kept me turning the pages late into the night. I’m looking forward to more books from Carla!”

BETH K. VOGT, AUTHOR OF CATCH A FALLING STAR AND WISH YOU WERE HERE

Against the craggy beauty of the Isle of Skye, author Carla Laureano weaves a story . . . of love between an American businesswoman and a Scottish celebrity chef. Fans of the movie The Holiday are sure to enjoy this contemporary romance. Laureano’s voice is deft, seamless, and wonderfully accomplished. An exciting newcomer to the world of Christian fiction!”

BECKY WADE, AUTHOR OF MY STUBBORN HEART AND UNDENIABLY YOURS

London Tides

“In London Tides, Carla Laureano shows how fear and grief can hold us captive —unable to love ourselves and others. Yes, Laureano has written a beautiful reconciliation romance, but she also delves into deeper themes of identity and acceptance. The character of Grace Brennan, in spite of her unconventional life, speaks to all of us.”

BETH K. VOGT, AUTHOR OF CATCH A FALLING STAR AND WISH YOU WERE HERE

“Achieving an aching depth and a resounding trueness within a heated yet baggage-ridden romance, author Carla Laureano has proven herself a storyteller who is not afraid to take her characters into the darkest regions of their own hearts. An excellent follow-up to Five Days in Skye, London Tides tugs and churns every emotion . . . right up until the lovely, hope-buoying end.”

SERENA CHASE, AUTHOR OF INTERMISSION AND THE EYES OF E’VERIA SERIES

“At times lighthearted; at times heart wrenching. Laureano has penned a delightfully romantic tale about the importance of finding home. If readers weren’t already smitten with the MacDonald brothers, they will be after London Tides!”

KATIE GANSHERT, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF LIFE AFTER

“Another captivating story! London Tides is as compelling and engaging as Laureano’s award-winning Five Days in Skye. It’s deliciously romantic and filled with tension, wonderful characters, and vivid scenery. A must-read this summer!”

KATHERINE REAY, AUTHOR OF A PORTRAIT OF EMILY PRICE AND THE AUSTEN ESCAPE

“War photographer Grace Brennan is the kind of character I love to read about —she’s savvy, fearless, and damaged, yet is determined to carry on. Returning to London means making amends with Ian MacDonald, the fiancé she left behind, and author Carla Laureano knows how to make the most of their chemistry. But a chance at love for Grace also means facing the realities of PTSD, a subject Laureano handles with great sensitivity and care. Vividly written and deeply felt, London Tides will sweep readers away.”

HILLARY MANTON LODGE, AUTHOR OF A TABLE BY THE WINDOW

Under Scottish Stars

“In Under Scottish Stars, independent single mother Serena Stewart returns to the beautiful land of Skye, looking for stability for her two small children —not romance with Malcolm Blake, who manages the hotel that Serena owns with her two brothers. Their ‘this can’t be happening’ relationship is engaging, and Carla Laureano reveals both Serena’s and Malcolm’s vulnerabilities as they fall in love when they least expected it. Under Scottish Stars is a satisfying romance that reminds readers that love doesn’t always go according to our agendas —and that can be a very good thing.”

BETH K. VOGT, AUTHOR OF CATCH A FALLING STAR AND WISH YOU WERE HERE

“Under Scottish Stars is a fabulous read, filled with compelling characters, a delicious setting, and a romance that can only be described as . . . swoon-worthy. Carla Laureano’s third and final book in the MacDonald Family Trilogy exceeded all my expectations and truly shouldn’t be missed.”

JEN TURANO, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A CHANGE OF FORTUNE

“Solid characters, brilliant dialogue, believable conflict, a setting you can taste —and, always, breath-stealing love scenes. No one writes a romantic hero like Laureano! Under Scottish Stars takes us back to Skye to explore poignant truths of single parenthood, family loyalty, the pursuit of dreams —and faith. A satisfying and stellar finish to the MacDonald Family Trilogy.”
