Karen Kendall is the author of many disasters and nine romantic comedies. She grew up in Austin, Texas, and credits her early interest in writing to several teachers and her mother, a professor of comparative literature.
A graduate of Smith College, Karen studied the mysteries of modern and contemporary art before enrolling in a masters program in Museum Education, with the aim of teaching children about art. She worked for several museums and galleries before following her lifelong dream and completing a novel.
Karen is still a big fan of children's art, but she now writes full time and lives in Florida with her husband, Don, and attack-cat Boo, who turns up her nose at chicken and fish but adores asparagus and mint-chocolate-chip ice cream.
This was a quirky and cute read. Lil has been raised by her proper, English grandmother and acts according to nana's voice in her head and watching her from above. Dan is a Texas cowboy and makes no excuses about it and doesn't see any problem with it. They spark off each other and Lil's 'manners' get in the way as they clash with Dan's wild ways. They work at getting to know each other and it all comes together at is sister's wedding in England. A book has to leave me with chills when I am done to get 5 stars, and this one did!
I really think it's quiet funny cause I giggled when I read first three pages. :)) Starting from "Haaaaaa", "fark", ... :)) And Dan was truly an alpha male, for he himself claimed that he's an alpha dog. ^^
Decent characterization and story with minimal stereotyping, though there were some inconsistencies to the characters from time to time over what they’d been established as being.
