About the author

I'm an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste - 'heat with heart' - for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Romantic Times, and numerous online sites have praised my work. I've won Readers' Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year Award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. I'm featured in the Novel and Short Story Writer's Market. Before penning romances, I worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

On a less serious note: I'm an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brake for Mexican restaurants, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" while wolfing down tostadas. I've flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an 'electricity for dummies' book, and am horribly shy despite the hot romances I write.

[Marran · Rating 2 out of 5]

I like the chemistry between the main characters but other characters like her father and his friends (and co workers) totally ruined this book..they are so annoying, the fact that they treated her like a child and she let them! Not once did she put her foot down and said enough..for heavens sake you're a grown woman act like one...

I really enjoyed this book. It was sexy and sweet. The hero and heroine are lovable and their chemistry works. It was close to perfect.

This book is perfect! Everything about it I loved! Don't even hesitate to read it. JUST DO IT! Tess and Josh's connection was undeniable and you felt their connecting the whole way through. Oh and btw this book gets steamy oh my!! I definitely recommend this book and it deserves five stars for sure! :)

Cute read with some pretty sweet romance to it. I love the way the author adds humor to the characters. I found myself laughing at times and rolling my eyes at others. The old, retired guys were a hoot! Enjoyed it!

What a book! It's not usually what I read, but it was great! The romance was awesome! ATTENTION: It gets steamy. Very steamy. But the end was fantastic! I read the whole book in one day!

I think this a good read. I needed a fluff book and this delivered. I enjoyed the characters and the story.

Great strong female character. Refreshing to see the roles reversed. An overall fun read!
