	Summer Shadows "SUMMER SHADOWS is a fantastic book: emotional, but not preachy, full of action as well as laughs-a book I had to force myself to put down long enough to make dinner, then again when bedtime was long past and work the next morning was looming." -Lisa Ramaglia, Scribes World
	Spring Rain "An emotionally gripping story…. Spring Rain is a powerful, moving drama of family conflict, social issues, redemption, and God's unparalleled forgiveness." - christianbooks.com "A heartwarming story that doesn't shy away from tackling tough subjects like homosexuality and promiscuity. Ms. Roper handles them with grace and compassion, never compromising the hope-filled truth of God's Word while giving us a bang-up tale of romantic suspense!" - Liz Curtis Higgs
	The Decision - This book won the 2000 Holt Medallion as the Best Short Inspirational Romance of the year. It also won the Reviewers Choice Award from Romantic Times Magazine. "The Decision combines gripping suspense with heartwarming romance, and a touch of humor besides….A wonderful book! " - Inspirational Romance Page "I picked up The Decision and practically devoured it in one gulp. I was hooked from the except page inside the front cover." - Sheila, MA
	Caught in the Middle "Roper has combined humanity, humor, and oodles of red herrings. She has proven, once more, that intriguing mysteries with enjoyable Christian characters can be written….I most enthusiastically recommend this book." - Church Libraries I just finished your novel, Caught in the Middle. I loved it! I loved it so much I went out at lunch time and bought the sequel. I'm planning to start it tonight. - Mark, CA
	Caught in the Act "Roper balances the humorous plots as well as Merrileigh does, making this a thoroughly enjoyable mystery with a devoutly Christian heroine. This second volume in the series is genuinely funny, with an extremely likeable lead in Merrileigh….Highly recommended." - Library Journal "It's your fault I got practically nothing done yesterday. I dug out Caught in the Act and began reading while everything else in life languished. Your pacing, your sense of humor, your most likeable characters - all great!" - Evelyn, PA
	Caught in a Bind - This book is the winner of the 2001 Holt medallion for the Best Long Inspirational Romance. It also won an Inspirational Readers Choice Award. "The third in the Amhearst Mystery series is a cozy connoisseur's delight; sweet and tangy humor with full-bodied intrigue and suspense. Here's a Perrier-with-a-twist-of-lime toast to Ms. Roper. Brava! " - Romantic Times "This was another wonderful book by Gayle Roper! I could not put it down until I had finished it! The author makes Merrileigh and other characters so believable and the stories so interesting. I strongly recommend the Amhearst Mysteries." - reader review on amazon.com

Rose, PA "I just loved Enough! and could not put it down! I loved Molly doing something very practical and effective and biblical. Fun." - Alexis, AZ

" - Deborah Raney, KS "This is a good time for me to recommend Gayle's superb reflections on Christian contentment, Riding the Waves. I've been reading it, and it is so helpful on matters like this." -James Scott Bell, CA
