On Nicole of Prie Mer: “A palace filled with intrigue and dark secrets makes the perfect backdrop for this coming of age story. Nicole starts out as just a beautiful young girl hoping to find a husband that will please her father. She becomes through her trials a strong and confident woman who knows that faith and love will see her through whatever else is to come” (A Romance Review, Nov. 2003).

On Games of God and Men: “In twists and turns that are trademark Hardy style, the plot takes us deeper into the struggles of Faith in the faithful. What to do when one has done all he can to obey God, and still Fate seems to be making sport of him? In a raw examination of some unfortunate circumstances that arise in the lives of key Lystrans, we see a conclusion that begins to awe the reader. The stage has been set in the first five books; now the players are moving into place to demonstrate the awe-inspiring work of Mercy that requires great sacrifice, and offers a greater reward” (Amazon review, Sept. 3, 2008).
