About the author

Madeline Ruth was born on 1963 in California, where she raised. She married her high school sweetheart and they have three sons, all handsome enough to be cover models. Growing up, her favorite pastimes were going to the movies and going horseback riding on Saturday mornings at Griffith Park. Madeline has always been "horse happy." A horse was the one thing she asked for on every birthday and every Christmas. Many years later, that dream came true when she bought an Appaloosa mare named Candy—because she was so sweet. Madeline loves animals. Over the years, she's had numerous dogs, cats, fish, mice, hamsters, turtles and birds, and her horse, of course. The most exotic pet was a crocodile that belonged to one of her sons. Currently, she has a terribly spoiled Pomeranian named Teddi, six goldfish, a catfish, and a betta. When she's not writing, Madeline enjoys going to movies and the theater. Her favorite plays are The Phantom of the Opera, The Scarlet Pimpernel and her all-time fave, Beauty and the Beast. She also loves reading, going to lunch with her best friend, collecting Star Wars, The Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast memorabilia, and playing with the most beautiful, adorable, brilliant grandkids in the world.

Madeline started writing when her children were still at home, and she wrote for several years, finding time to write after her children were in bed and her husband was at work. In true cliché fashion, she wrote the books and put them under the bed, never telling anyone what she was doing, until one day she let a friend read one. Encouraged by her friend's comments, and armed with a copy of Writer's Market supplied by said friend, Madeline began sending out query letters. After six years and 31 rejections, Leisure Books bought Reckless Heart, and she's been writing ever since. After writing several Westerns, Madeline decided to try her hand at something else and wrote her first vampire romance. It was a short story titled "Masquerade" for an anthology. She loved writing that so much that she wrote her first full-length vampire romance, Embrace the Night, and thus Amanda Ashley was born. One of her dreams had been to write for Harlequin, and she accomplished that in 2003 with the publication of her Silhouette Romance novel, Dude Ranch Bride. Madeline loves to hear from her readers.

Enjoyable read

This story was light and sweet. It was of a woman jilted two weeks before the wedding and she decided to go to the little home her grandmother left her. There, during a rain storm, she meets Chayton and so the love story begins. The one area I could suggest is not so much repetition of the same feeling of "can't stop thinking of her/him." No real drama, not much angst. Just sweet.

I love the hero character (Chay) and his interraction with Dana (h) and with his father, mother and sister.I would have preferred the story ending at chapter 16 without the last ones and the epilogue.

Love shines !

A good clean romance filled with love. Family filled stories. Shared happiness between brother and sister. Recommend it with a five star rating.

OK book. A lot of "I've been hurt, I'll never love again" monologues, which is just annoying. Maybe I've read a few to many books lately with that kind of mantra, but it's so unrealistic like saying "I worked in a bad job, now I refuse to work again"

DNF at 7.2%.... I promised myself I would quit reading any book with the phrase "stark raving mad." I realize this may sound arbitrary, but it is an indication of a style I don't appreciate.
