Johanna Lindsey's best books

Johanna Lindsey wrote 56 books in her lifetime (and surely more would stay in a drawer or in her own head). All of them, or almost, have been launched in Spain. so it is very easy to find the complete sagas, or the independent novels, since, sometimes, new editions of them are made.

Choosing a few of those 56 books is quite complicated, but from the long list that we have left you before, we can take a few that will catch your attention:

Captive bride

As we said, this was her debut as a writer in 1977, and it was not so bad if from then on there was no year that he did not release a novel. In fact, the way of narrating in the novel, so simple, so engaging, makes you can't stop reading.

The plot is pretty straightforward, but it's the setting that earned him a following for his pen. So much so that from time to time they put out new editions of this book because it was one of the most important. But we must not lose sight of who was the first.

I will love you until dawn (Marry me by sundown)

The previous sentence comes into play with this book. And it is that I will love you until dawn is actually the last book that Johanna Lidnsey published, specifically in 2018. That is why it is so special, because it was the last story that the author released.

It also serves as a comparison for his pen, since the evolution of how he wrote is noticeable between the first and the last. As for the story, it belongs to a bag, that of the Callahan-Warren, so, being the last, it may shock a bit if you have not read the previous ones.
