"A captivating romance that kept me turning pages late into the night. The emotional depth of the characters was truly remarkable, making their journey feel incredibly real and impactful."

"If you favor contemporary romances featuring a sexy hero, an independent-minded heroine, lots of pent-up desire, and a dose of relationship jeopardy, Gina Duncan's DESIGNS ON THE CARPET LAYER is a sexual sizzler that will allow you to indulge you reading interests."

"DESIGNS ON THE CARPET LAYER moves at a nice pace. The writing and dialogue are crisp, and the plot really held my interest. Jesse is a hero that could fulfill any woman's fantasies and the chemistry between him and Shyann really builds at such a tempo that it's hard to put this book down. Both Bryce and Jesse have secrets unknown to Shyann, but the author introduces them slowly so that they don't detract from the elemental want that's fairly singing Jesse and Shyann each time they encounter one another."

"Gina Duncan gets good marks from me on this steamy romance with a happy ending I look forward to reading more of her books."

 "Cora Belle Talon has just one purpose -- to escape an unwanted marriage to a cruel man. Disguised as a young boy, she rides away from home, only to encounter outlaws in the act of killing. One of them, Royce Wilkason, accidentally knocks her off her horse, discovers she's a woman and not a boy, and takes her to his ranch. Since he believes her to be spy for those trying to destroy him, he can't let her go. When the man claiming to be her fiancé, arrives, Kris, a ranch hand, takes her away to safety. While there, the romance between Royce and Cora heats up, and they make love, but the danger is still out there. Through their investigation, they learn that Donavan is the man trying to take Royce's land. They get the proof and once Donavan and his helper is in jail, Royce and Cora are free to pursue their love. I enjoyed this book. I liked both Royce and Cora, as well as the secondary characters. Rosa, the housekeeper, is a wonderful cast member, as are all the ranch hands. This was an enjoyable and intensely sexy read. The author has created several interesting and beautifully described settings. The reader feels both Cora's doubts and, in spite of them, her intense attraction to Royce. The author has done a good job in creating the antagonists, Donavan and Olivia, as well as the most interesting saloon characters. There is an occasional problem with point of view, as well as with transition between settings, sometimes creating confusion. The culmination of the search for the truth is especially exciting, and the special romantic ending very enjoyable. I enjoyed this and would read more by this author."
