Judge’s Commentary*:

TUMBLEWEED, a Julia Bramer novel, is an excellent story for those looking for an erotic tale but also want to witness the growth of the heroine.

The plot is unique in that it goes back and forth in time, but that just made it all the more interesting in that we were able to understand the heroine and where she is coming from. The opening of the book doesn't disappoint, building up tension but the author doesn't wait too long to get the story moving. I believe Bramer's past and current fans will enjoy this new entry, and will all be looking forward to her next work with great anticipation.
