“Hard Lovin’ Man is one of Lorraine Heath’s rare contemporary romance series. The two books, published in 2003 and 2004, trade the historical settings she is known for for modern-day Texas, while keeping the rugged, charming heroes.”

The series shows Heath can write romance outside of historical settings. The Texas backdrop remains, but the costumes and customs are replaced with pickup trucks and modern complications. The southern charm that defines her historical heroes translates easily to the present day.
