About the author
Heidi Betts
184 books376 followersUSA Today bestselling author Heidi Betts is the daughter of an Arabian sheik and a Las Vegas showgirl, as well as the heiress to the Chocolate is Better Than Sex Candy Company fortune. Because of this, she eats chocolate in all its many delicious forms for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-between snacks . . . without ever gaining an ounce on her perfect five-foot-nine, size zero figure.
Each and every one of her breathtaking, award-winning novels has been adapted to film and gone on to become a phenomenal box office smash, featuring such mega-stars as Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, and Harrison Ford and Charlize Theron.
Heidi readily admits that she is only able to write such passionate love stories because of her real-life happily-ever-after romance with superstar actor Dwayne Johnson, who makes every day a fairy tale. When she’s not writing or making hot, toe-curling love with her “Rock” of a husband, Heidi can often be found riding naked on horseback (a la Lady Godiva) along the beaches of Malibu or hobnobbing with the rich and famous on Martha’s Vineyard.
If you’d like to experience your own perfect, idyllic life just like Heidi Betts, be sure to take the little purple pill. (Not the red one. Never the red one.)

Convicted of murder
A man wrongly accused of murder escapes from prison and returns home to clear his name. Copyright 2002 it's still a romantic love story worth reading of a young woman helping the man she loves. A quick read.

I haven't read any books in a long time because I've been in home improvement mode and outdoor-summer-weather enjoyment. I bought five paperbacks for $1 at the library book sale and this was one. I actually enjoyed it more than I expected. It had good, fun characters and was historical in nature (little rancher/western of wholesome women and men who liked whorehouses) without being a true historical novel. That worked for me because I don't love historical romances. Alpha male, sassy female - all good for me! Sex scenes were on the steamier side for a typical romance novel (as opposed to erotica). All in all, it was good and there are other books by her about the same town with some of the secondary characters I read about, so I think I'm going to seek those out!

Wow.
Callie Quinn is startled by a very scruffy Wade Mason, whom has just recently escaped from prison. She is scared of him and terrified that she will take Matthew (her adopted and his biological son) away from her at first but as the story goes along and hears his side of the story, she falls in love with the wrongly accused Wade.

Could have been better
The story could have been better. The hero was friends with the heroine's brother and they live in the same small community, but they act as if they've never met. Also, the heroine has some extremely forward ideas, that if they had been provided the right context or back story, may have been a nice addition to the story line, but as is seemed forced and preachy. The book as a whole is not edited or formatted properly, which was extremely distracting, including the insertion of a woman's first and last name in several locations.
