About the author
Mary Lynn Baxter
149 books31 followersMary Lynn Baxter was born on 28 July 1943 in Lufkin, Texas, USA, where she bred, home of the cowboy - hero of the Western romance, which is one of the most popular of the category's sub-genres. She would be the first to say that it's her background that gives her a unique feel for romance writing.
Since she was a young girl, books and reading have been an important part of her life. Only after she read all the "goodies" in her public library did her mother encourage her to buy Harlequin romances, then 35 cents each. Wow! Those reading years laid the background for her decision to major in Library Science at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, and become a school librarian.
After eight years of working in various school systems, she felt a need to do something different. What she wanted was to open a bookstore. With the help of her husband, Leonard, and her mother, Mary Lynn did just that. For over 20 years she sold books, and loved every minute of it. Then Mary Lynn decided she needed a new challenge. Following an intense amount of pushing and prodding from her husband she took the plunge and tried her hand at writing.
After months of agonising and chewing her nails, she finally mailed All our Tomorrows to Silhouette books in February 1981. One year later it was published as a Silhouette Special Edition. Now, over 40 books later, she's still writing. Mary Lynn can't think of anything else she'd rather do with her time and energy. She surfaces from her writing, she's a voracious reader. But this petite dynamo is always happy to tumble out of her world of fiction into her local fitness center for a bracing workout. She's also dedicated to her volunteer work... and still manages to fit in plenty of quality time with her family at their home in Lufkin, Texas.

So I accidently read book 8 in the series before this and wanted to start at the beginning. I liked this book, enjoyed seeing the characters and how it all began. I however just didnt love Amanda and Noah as much. The way Noah would antagonize her. I mean he left her heartbroken and yet he's pulling her into a linen closet and mauling her. Not to mention she has a boyfriend and is technically cheating on him. Noah was just way to forceful for my liking and I get that he's in love with her and regrets leaving like he did but I still didn't like how he handled everything. It got the 3 stars because I really enjoyed the start up to the series, all the characters that are going to come into play. Im excited for the next one. Hoping it's more to my liking.

È scritto bene, ma pare avere un lato giallo che non mi intriga più di tanto.
