Now it is time to address the bibliography of a Johanna lindsey that, as in many other cases, also looked to romantic writing as an escape valve and ended up reaching number 1 in sales as donuts.
The secret of Johanna Lindsey to signify herself as one of the greatest it is the variety within that romantic that can be extended to all times and conditions. A variety that also serves to jump from sagas to series with the ease of those bestsellers used to producing plots from their overwhelming creativity.

Top 3 Recommended Novels by Johanna Lindsey
Persuasiveness
Just before ending the Malory saga in its twelfth installment, this novel number 11 arrived that well deserved to have been that final point (if it stops there) for the plot.
Because having won the hearts of so many readers with the lives and works of these unique protagonists who saw the light back in 1985 until 2017 (I insist, for now). Because the boat trip to the United States becomes a thrilling adventure full of twists, secrets and mystery. His daughter Jacqueline and her cousin Judith travel with James Malory, ready to enjoy the new world and as many projects and pleasant surprises as they await.
But right there, on the ship itself, the habitual delinquent Nathan Tremayne also travels. The girls are in danger with him because he is a guy with everything lost. With that feeling of claustrophobic chase that a story offers in a setting with no escape, the girls will have to give their best and find the most unexpected allies to get out of there unscathed.
Make me love you
With its taste for a romance novel inspired precisely by the romantic era of the mid-nineteenth century, this novel is a very fortunate revision of the old plots about confronting families and impossible loves.
With her focus on high places, where she also moves, between elegance and disenchantment, the search for passions always screened by morality, we meet Brooke, a maiden who is immersed in an armistice between families, being given in return for Dominic Wolfe to dispossess her. The whitworths consider that perhaps the idea is not so bad, Brooke could be an infiltrator, a kind of virus that affects everything in the Wolfe.
Because she is a leggy torment, stubborn and infuriating. Even more so when Brooke would never contemplate moving to a county far from London, without the possibility of enjoying the possibilities of the big city. The dilemma is served, the quarrels between the Whitworth and the Wolfe seem to subside for the moment, accepting the wedding pact.
The matter may get out of hand, as the girl's family imagines. Or maybe, why not, just the opposite happens. Because perhaps love can be learned.
Runaway heart
The second installment of a Callahan-Warren saga (started in 2013) that seems to break much more because of the passion, because of the fiery love affairs in a Wild West with that scent of life on the edge. In this second installment we focus on the well-known Degan Grant, a character who appears in the first part and who now centers the whole story.
He represents the prototypical uprooted man of that wild west. It only moves by essential principles such as life and death debts. And that is why he is caught up in the search for three criminals. His first capture, perhaps the most unexpected, is that of a Maxine as captivating as capable of putting him in danger if he does not deliver her to justice.
Only, in the interim, as he goes after other criminals he is missing, the days and nights shared between Degan and Maxine can light fires of passion among the lonely and immense spaces staged in the novel. The west is full of outlaws, adventure, and danger. For Degan and Maxine the greatest danger is being too close.
