PIECES OF SKY by Kaki Warner

Each year Romance Writers of America has a contest for published authors called the Rita's. This is the biggest award for romance writers and it's an event full of glitz and fun. The nominees were annouced Friday, March 25th and it was a party all day as the nominees were contacted and announced online.


I was so excited to see that Kaki Warner's Pieces of Sky is one of the nominees for BEST FIRST BOOK. Not only is the cover gorgeous, but the story will hold you from page one to the last turn. It's a glorious piece of writing that paints the New Mexico landscape and a love story of opposites that you'll love. I wouldn't have considered myself a fan of historical romance, but Kaki is the exception for me.  The covers reeled me in but she delivers a fabulous story.
Berkley has done a wonderful job with Kaki's covers. I'd buy them no matter what was between the covers just because they are so pretty, but what a delight to have the inside as fabulous as the cover.

Kaki has another book among the nominations, in the historical romance category, OPEN COUNTRY.

Best wishes, Kaki!
