“An Epic Tale! This story started very strange, but ended strong. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.”
I get so excited each time I see a new book release email notification from Amazon on D. Hamilton-Reed. Her writing is twisted, rough, and extremely passionate. She often tackles taboo/risqué topics. Moon People makes my fourth read by her. No feelings different from the first three books, I was lucky to have come across. Each time afterwards I am left feeling wildly emotional. Hamilton-Reed books feel like a rush of blood to the head, that I have become addicted. A twisted, off the charts passionate and dark romance-Again may not be for all. However I enjoyed it!
“A Love Familiar”
A Love Familiar is the story of the Cortland family and begins with six-year-old Bethanny in the year 1503. Through an unfortunate accident her brother, Kylan Cortland, has become her guardian, a responsibility he does not want, and in his reluctance to do his duty stumbles on the one thing he desires, and will never let go!

The three novels take us on a journey through 16th century Europe, to 19th century early America, and ends in modern day California. Each story blurring boundaries and crossing lines into the Forbidden.
A Love Familiar is available on Amazon.com and Kindle. A Love Complex and A Love Forbidden are currently works in progress and will be published at a later date.
Extraordinary! Historically Grand in scope. This story takes place in Europe in the early 1500’s, please don’t let that scare you from reading, for it is long but well worth it. It involves a nontraditional family and their trials and tribulations. I really don’t want to give anything away. Mrs. Hamilton has definitely done her homework regarding the historical developments, which made the story work, all the characters were very well developed to where you could understand the various sometimes very messy situations evolved and how they came to be. Lord Have Mercy. One of the best Stories I Have Ever Read…Can’t Wait for Next Book.
I really loved this book! Wow…what a great story. Read this one, you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to next book in this trilogy.

“One heck of a drama! An absolutely enjoyable read! It was almost too exciting! But beware you’ll be tempted to read it all in one sitting.”
“Highly Recommend! Can’t remember the last time I gave 5 stars. So many twists and turns, so sensual and erotic. I look forward to this author’s next book.”
“What a beautiful story, about a beautiful couple! Royce and Joy is Love to Infinity! What a unique way it all started. I don’t want to go into detail, for this book had so many layers, but came full circle. It was my no means corny and sappy, but strong and deep. Great job to the author D. Hamilton-Reed! Excellent!”
“One thing I love about reading is being able to be transported to another time and space. Books have always been a gateway to experience something outside your everyday life. This book did that and more!!! I loved Joy the different stages they went through, the different experiences, I just loved it! I hope you do a prequel to Hennie’s story because was that left field surprise I wasn’t expecting.”
“This was a great romance and suspense novel. Royce and Joy’s love story begins unorthodox, but I’m truly happy it turned out to be wonderful. I’m looking forward to more books by D. Hamilton-Reed.”
