Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Danni Roan, a Christian author, has always been a storyteller and that unique talent has translated well into the western romance genre. Danni’s characters are real, genuine and come alive on the page. To date, Danni has two western romance series, The Cattleman’s Daughters and Tales from Biders Clump, as well as several stand-alone novellas in the Strong Hearts: Open Spirits group. Danni has also participated in several multi-author projects including Whispers in Wyoming, a Christian, Contemporary Western Romance series and the much anticipated Alphabet Mail-Order Brides series.

Danni has Bachelors of Missiology and a Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). Danni has taught English and ESL, for over fifteen years both overseas and at home in the United States. These skills and her experience with people from all over the world have given a special flavor to her writing which only adds to the authenticity of her characters.

Danni lives with her every-day-hero of more than twenty-seven years in a thirty-six-foot camper that they are using to tour the United States, adding new life to the setting and drama of her books. She is very proud of their son who is studying at the University of Florida. You can follow Danni’s adventures on her blog as well as reading about them in her work.

Danni is a member of the Pioneer Hearts Authors and Readers group on facebook and loves working with and interacting with so many talented friends. She has made lasting connections and feels that she is a part of something bigger than herself.

Originally hailing from Pennsylvania Danni feels a connection to the land and loved riding over the verdant hills of western PA on horseback throughout her youth.

This is book 1 in this wonderful new series, Sailors and Saints. I knew it would be good because it was written by one of my favorite authors, Danni Roan! What an amazing storyline! Not what I expected at all, but I enjoyed the back and forth from the past to the present, not what I expected, but added to the story. Danni writes characters, main and secondary I can root for and their HEA. Filled with adventure, suspense, and romance, I spent an enjoyable Sunday afternoon reading to a satisfying ending. Recommend. JudyE

4.0 out of 5 stars A quick and unusual story with a great HEA

The Sailor and the School Teacher is unusual in that it is told primarily through flashback. The prologue provides the happily-ever-after, then the book shows how the characters got there. I’ve not read anything like this before, and highly enjoyed the concept. The characters are intriguing, and I learned a lot about the early days of shipping as well as life on a sailing vessel. Xenia’s background serves her well, and I like how she was able to band together with Birch and Barnaby (an old sea salt who is wonderful) to get through. She is tenacious and often reacts without thinking (part of what gets her into trouble to start with), but her personality makes for a fun character. I liked how things worked out in the end. A quick, satisfying story.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a good quick read. It was different reading about the life of sailors instead of the old West books I usually read in a good way. It was definitely a feel good story. A lot could have gone wrong for the characters but I'm glad it didnt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

As the last book in the alphabet mail order bride book and what appears to be the first in the sailors and saints series. My review is based off reading the alphabet brides story line. I am disappointed in the storyline jumping back and forth from past and present, the way the author had characters talking, and not answering the question from the Glory book that Xena was on a wanted poster. Maybe that is what happens with a lot of Authors writing in a series.

I love the way Danni writes. This book was just as wonderful as all the rest of her books! The fantastic journey of ups and downs, twists and turns surely didn’t disappoint it held my attention until the end. Her characters are ones of integrity and very colorful.
A tender clean romance that goes straight to the heart. It was hard to put down and a pure delight to read.

I did find the story a bit choppy at first. However, it improved and told the story which had been guessed about during the other 'alphabet' mail order bride stories.

Now, beginning a new series......

Excellent story full of intrigue adventure and betrayal, Xenia secretly working on board a ship as a boy. Birch and Barnaby looking out for her but Xenia was a very strong young women and managed to do the tasks expected from her. The characters were portrayed very well as were the story line and plot. The author wrote this book in a throwback way where she went from present to passed I found it awkward at first to get use to it but once into the story I accustomed myself and eventually settled and enjoyed the read.
