Romantic Times writes that she has a "charming way of making her novels come to life without being over the top." Her books have been praised for their historical accuracy and attention to detail, making readers feel as if they have been transported to another time and place. In addition to her work as an author, Eakes also teaches online writing courses and enjoys a speaking ministry that has taken her across the country.\n \n Despite her success, Eakes remains humble and dedicated to her craft.
