Romance Reviews today -
Beautifully, lyrically written, I was enthralled by LISZT'S KISS from the first page. Ms. Dunlap is a strong voice in today’s historical fiction.
Diane Haeger -
[THE MUSICIAN'S DAUGHTER] …a gutsy, sympathetic heroine who remains true to her friends, in a fast-paced historical adventure that offers a hint of romance.
Kirkus Reviews -
Dunlap persuasively inhabits the thoughts and emotions of her embattled protagonist; her magnetic reimagining of ANASTASIA’s story has the potential to reach a broad audience.
Publishers Weekly -
Molly’s exceptionally authentic and appealing character powers this well-crafted novel…Overall, [IN THE SHADOW OF THE LAMP] is an honorable homage and an absorbing read.
Kirkus Reviews -
[THE ACADEMIE] Dunlap’s intricate plot darts among the first-person narratives of Eliza, Caroline, Hortense, and Madeleine. The elegant work of historical fiction is laced with fluttery romances, psychological games, and surprises.
