SHE WANTED HIS NAME Casey Carmichael needed Bobby Metcalf to be her temporary husband. Just long enough to get away from her overbearing father and fulfill her dreams. She never planned on falling for this gruff renegade rancher, especially when they hadn't shared a wedding night! But...
HE WANTED... HER! Four years after she'd thought their marriage had ended, Casey got a call. Bobby was still very much her husband -- though he'd forgotten quite a few things... including his own name! And the fact that she was his wife in name only. But some passions weren't meant to be forgotten... or denied.
Annette 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.
Pretty good with developed characters. Especially like including minor characters instead of intense over-focus on h and H. Also like that the whole ranch background was setting, not huge part of book.
Me encanto la historia, como se fueron conocieron y a la vez logrando sus sueños, y al fin estar juntos, ni que decir del final que fue muy conmovedor.
What a sweet story about a MOC with the hero falling for the heroine early on. She decides to become a vet instead of getting married like her dad wanted her to. He was an ass so she runs to the hero to marry her and he does and then goes about deserving her by making something of his life. The hero was a sweetie and hard ass at the same time. Loved it
