Dan - not long after helping Correy when her car broke down during a hurricane, he realized he was going to be her new boss. But the intense attraction he felt for her made him hide that fact.

They met one rainy night and were carried away by the intensity of their passion that rivaled the lightning that crackled around them.

About the author

Kathye was drawn into writing by her high shool journalism teacher who talked her into writing for the school paper. She's been writing in one capacity or another ever since. From short stories to a weekly newpaper column to fiction and non-fiction, she has touched on every writing genre avaiable to man (or woman). Kathye has also worked for a non-fiction publishing house and credits much of what she knows about the industry to the senior editor with whom she worked closely. Kathye is married and lives in New Jersey with her husband and one son left at home. She grown twin sons; one married and living in Arizona and one living in New Jersey. ONE RAINY NIGHT was written the year before Kathye lost her home and everthing in it to the flooding associated with Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Coincidently, the book opens with the heroine caught in a hurricane of her own. Kathye always says that if she knew she was going to be so prohpetic, she would hve written about a lottery winner.

She also writes as Kathryn Quick.

Reviews

[Barbara ★ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Unfortunately this book just didn't grab me. I felt that the first meeting was contrived and the ending too coincidental and convenient. I don't think there was enough build up to the confrontation. Again, it was just too convenient and easy for Correy to start at a new company and immediately figure out the cause of their financial problems and jump right into a dangerous investigation without informing the boss of her suspicions.

Quite honestly, I didn't particularly like the heroine though I have difficulty pinpointing exactly what irked me. And the hero wasn't really much better. He just came across as smarmy not romantic.

I have a few other books by Kathye Quick so I will give her another try but so far, I'm not impressed.
