About the author
Annette Broadrick
216 books42 followersAnnette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.
She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.
Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.
Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

Jude Crenshaw is sent to San Antonio, TX on loan from his job with the NSA to go undercover for a job with the DEA to catch drug smugglers. He's the perfect man for the job; he's handsome, a native Texan and a member of those Crenshaws, a well-known Texas family. Now all he has to do is get to know Carina Patterson, daughter of the suspected ring-leader of the smuggling family and get the goods on the smugglers. Easy, right? Not when sweet, innocent Carina steals his heart in the process! Jude quickly realizes that she's innocent in this dangerous game but now his heart's involved and he's in too deep. When the case goes down and the truth about his identity comes out, what will Carina do?
A finely crafted story that will keep you interested the whole way through and routing for Jude and Carina; I'm sorry that it languished on my TBR pile so long.

I guess the streak of really good AB books is finally over! This one was way way too much real for me! I have to say the fiancé was a nice guy who got killed and she just got over him like nothing cause he had another girl with him. Not! Also she acts like some kind of Saturday night pick up. It was cute for like five minutes then it got old. And I hate the fact that They slept together the way they did him not wanting to. It was just so cold blooded! So mechanical I mean they always have condoms on hand and they always plan to have sex. It's ok in real life but this is fantasy and he was not even that into her at first. It's an ok book but for me that's about it.
