Jennifer Blake’s standalone novels cover nearly a quarter-century of her career, from the gothic romance The Bewitching Grace in 1973 to Garden Of Scandal in 1997. The early entries are gothic romances with mysterious settings and brooding atmosphere, while later books like Love and Smoke, Wildest Dreams, and Shameless move into contemporary Southern romance and women’s fiction.
Several of these titles also appear in Blake’s Louisiana Knights series, reflecting the overlapping nature of her catalog. Each book works on its own, offering different angles on Blake’s core themes of strong women, complicated men, and the particular heat and tension of Louisiana settings.
