Happy Tuesday, reader friends! I’m a bit late linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday (but I just wanted to read last night)! The topic this week is: “Books I’d Give Different Titles To (and tell us what title you’d pick!)” I’m sharing books with names instead! Here are ten-ish books with people’s proper names in the title!

I highly recommend this wonderful modern-day retelling by Sarah Monzon!

These historicals from Jody Hedlund and Amanda Barratt are inspiring and thought-provoking!

Share some of your favorite books with names! Honestly, why aren’t more publishers doing this instead of the generic Cowboy’s Secret Baby and Rancher’s Second Chance titles?!

I’m not familiar with any of these but I like the look of Knox, Tate, Ford and Wyatt. It’s been a long time since I read a cowboy romance. 🙂

Oh, I highly recommend them! If you like romantic suspense or cowboys, definitely give them a try! While the Marshall brothers did grow up on a Montana ranch, they have a variety of occupations in interesting locations so it’s not all horses and cowpokes.
