About the author
Dawn Atkins
111 books79 followersI always wanted to be a writer--from the moment I put fat pencil to brown-lined paper in second grade to write an elaborate story using all the spelling words on our list.
Though I always wanted to be a professional writer, I wasn't sure I had the stuff, so I graduated from college with a teaching degree and taught elementary school--second and third grades (the best)--and then began freelance feature writing for newspapers and magazines, local and national.
I left teaching to work in public relations--skills I use today in my job as a writer/editor for the Arizona Education Association.
I met my husband, David Weiss, my very own hero, in 1980, on an airplane. We made the "love thang" permanent in 1985, when we married taking our Hobie sailboat to San Diego for our honeymoon. Then in 1990, we welcomed a son into our lives. He continues to be the light of our life together.
My first romance credits were two stories in True Love magazine. I went on to write a sexy romance in 1983, which was rejected--sniff.
Years later--1996--I got serious about getting published. Though I endured some rejections as I honed my craft, in 1998, I sold the first of two short romantic comedies to Kensington Publishing--Getting Zack Back, published in December. In July 2000, Baby Makes Three was released. After coming in second among published authors in a Harlequin Duets contest, I sold to Harlequin in 2001, quickly selling another comedy. In addition to Duets, I write for Temptation, Blaze and, the new comedy line Flipside.
Most of my hobbies--sailing, scuba-diving, playing the piano (badly)--have gone by the wayside as I devote all my non-family spare time to writing. I live in the Phoenix area with my husband and son, who proudly brings my books to his teachers and swears he doesn't read them--except for the funny parts.

Sexy read that's great for a quick romantic fix.

Well, this one is certainly not one of my favorite Blazes. It's not really bad, but far from great. It's about two friends and partners in business, with the funny names Sugar and Gage. One day Gage realises that he's madly in love with Sugar, but when he confesses that to her, she doesn't want to hear it, because she likes change and adventure in her life and he's rather a conservative type, which makes it impossible for her to see a shared personal future. Meanwhile their business relationship starts to shake as well. And than Sugar gives in to him and next she retreats again and than she gives in again and she retreats one more time. The reason for her behaviour isn't worked out well by the author. And Gage turns out to be a little whimpy (though sweet, but maybe too sweet). And in the end of course they suddenly realise that they wanna try again but without me believing that their relationship will work out.
The sexscenes weren't that hot either, except maybe for their first encounter (when she tied his hands to the headboard and satisfied him with her mouth). The descriptions of these scenes were short and to much to the point (like: They kissed.)
In the end I found the heroin too annoying to like her and this story.

Basically a great story, just slow to start with a lag in the center. I gave it a 3star.
