About the author

Weaver was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. She has a degree in English literature. After her youngest child entered school in 1989 she began writing in the hopes that she could build a career that would allow her to work from home. None of her first eight manuscripts sold, but in July 1993 her ninth, True Blue, was purchased by Silhouette Books.

Generally Weaver writes two to three novels per year, taking up to five months to finish each work. The novels are most often classified as romantic suspense, and the protagonists are put into life-or-death situations in order more clearly reveal their true characters and feelings. In many of her novels, the hero is either connected to law enforcement or the military. Weaver also enjoys including animals in her stories "because they're usually excellent judges of character."

Weaver was awarded a Romance Writers of America RITA Award in 1998 for Best Romantic Suspense for her novel On the Way to a Wedding.[3] She is also a recipient of the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award.

Reviews

[Kristiej · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't like this one quite as much as Delaney's Shadow, but still I enjoyed it. Elizabeth was quite a prickly heroine and not that easy to like, not like Delaney. But I really enjoyed the hero Rick. I liked that he wasn't scared off by prickly Elizabeth, that he saw underneath her very hard shell.

The heat ranking is very subtle, I think I would have liked it a bit hotter. I did like the different settings Rick and Elizabeth found themselves in and how they came to be in them.

You don't have to have read Delaney's Shadow to read this one but I would recommend it just because I preferred DS slightly more than Dream Shadow.

I wish I could give the book 2 1/2 stars. The premise was a good one but the book never grabbed me. I kept reading because I wanted to know how it ended but I had to talk myself out of quitting several times.

This was an interesting sequel. I liked it, but I don't think I'll pick it up and read it again. I just wasn't as connected to the characters as I was with the first one.

I liked Delaney's Shadow better, but this was good too. I love the romance and the plot line.

[Jocelyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Didn't realize it was a disguised formula romance. Almost abandoned but continued, mainly as I was down to my last book from the library trip where I picked it up. For the genre, it was not bad.

[Bonnie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Decent story line although a little far fetched. However I'm a hopeless romantic and it was full of sweet romance in the name of love.
