Known for creating powerful and passionate stories, Metsy’s own life reads like the plot of a romance novel–from her early years in a New Orleans’ orphanage and foster care to her long, happy marriage to her husband Jim and the rearing of their four children.
With more than three million copies of her books in print, Metsy’s novels frequently appear on national bestseller lists and have been published in twenty-four foreign countries.

Awards from Romantic Times Magazine, as well as multiple Reviewer’s Choice and Career Achievement nominations from Romantic Times.
Despite the destruction of Hurricane Katrina and the devastating personal losses in the Hingle family, Metsy’s home in Louisiana is safe and sound. Metsy says there was never any question that she would return and be a part of the rebirth of her beloved city. To that end, Metsy has pledged 10% of her earnings from “BLACK SILK” to the New Orleans area Habitat for Humanity. To learn more about Metsy’s pledge, visit her website at www.metsyhingle.com. Metsy resides across the lake from New Orleans with her husband and a bossy toy poodle named Molly Brown. She is currently hard at work on her next novel.

today marks the first time that i have ever ripped up a book and thrown it in the trash. call me an angel, if you will, for ensuring no one else can get their hands on my copy of this torturous, offensive, and disgusting glorification of physical and sexual abuse.

What a mess! This bat crap H needed help and I mean HELP! I think a year or two (or three) of therapy might make a difference, maybe.
As for the h, usually I hate when they just disappear out of the H's life without a word (especially when there's a baby involved) but in this case, I don't blame her a bit! The guy went on and on about no commitments, no promises, and definitely no marriage, just fun in bed, fun and games, etc., yet he admits to being insanely jealous of other men and when he saw one guy showing an interest in the h, he told her he wanted to kill him, and he meant it!! (Big red flag there!!)
He tells her his father was a rotten person; therefore, he's one too (I won't argue that one) so no way would he ever want kids! When the (already pregnant) h asks what would happen if she were going to have a baby, he promptly said to get rid of it!
Who wouldn't run away from a prize like him????
Even worse, when they meet again after three years, he wants to hit the sheets again but of course, the same no strings rules apply, because of all his quirks and problems, etc. Yet he's going berserk thinking about her and Jack, who she claims she loves, not knowing that it's their toddler son she's talking about.
And when he does find out, he says he can't be a father to him because he's such a bad risk, remembering all the terrible things his father said about him, on and on, and ENOUGH!
His son's name is Jack, but the H's name should have been Jerk instead of Jacques, because this Frenchman was missing more than a few marbles and all his sexy good looks and accent couldn't make up for that!
The story was just too out there, especially asking us to believe that the h, with a whole mess of fertility problems, who had been trying for a long time to get pregnant while married to her ex-husband, had no trouble at all scoring a bullseye with the H??? OH, COME ON!!!
This was all just too ridiculous so I didn't bother to finish it, who wants a HEA with a H who should be in a psychiatric ward?

I really love the secret love child type novels, or the pregnancy ones. They are most definitely my passion and I adored this one. Who couldn't when you get such an amazing HEA!
