REVIEWS/QUOTES:
"Charlesgate is a fun read. Intricately woven with historical fact and colorful fiction, Dina Keratsis's story is written with an intelligent eye, respect for her readers, and offers up a tale one needs to read curled up in front of the fire with a throw over your toes." -- Melanie, NovelSpot Romance Reviews
Charlesgate: "Dina Keratsis gives us history, folklore, mystery, fantasy and romance all in one story. The speed at which all the mysteries are unfolded is not too fast or slow. Just enough to keep page after page turning. I found myself mesmerized by the history, and intrigued by the love story between Zylla and Jabe. Both unsure of love, yet still knowing somewhere inside that they should be together." -- Kathy, Fallen Angels Reviews

5 Beacons - “Ms. Keratsis places her heart in the center of these young people and gives them life to reach out and touch the reader… Believability stirs within Kicking Sideways and blankets the reader with every turn of the page. Sweet, poignant, and well-crafted, this is one story that shouldn’t be missed.”--(Linda, Lighthouse Literary Reviews)
Kicking Sideways: 4 Cups - "Ms. Keratsis has written a sweet love story full of angst over the past, neglect of self, and the walls of protection we all build to protect our hearts. Cree is a determined young woman, saddled with too much responsibility too soon; while Mike is trying to be that soft place to fall when Cree needs to rest, but of course she resists the offer. Ms Keratsis’s ability to craft and express the emotions of a woman on the edge had me crying and fussing at Cree for being so stubborn. This book will tug at many a reader’s heart. Thanks, Ms. Keratsis, for this journey." - (Kathy, Coffee Cup Reviews)
Cake; A Fairy Tale: Starting with one of the best opening lines I’ve ever read, Cake, A Fairy Tale by Dina Keratsis transports the reader to a fantastic world.

And, you’ll never look at buttered toast the same again. A keeper! -- *lizzie starr, author of Romance with a Sparkling Twist
