About the author
Anne Hampson
150 books153 followersAnne Hampson was born on 28 November 1928 in England. At age six she had two ambitions: to teach and to write. Poverty after WWI deprived her of an education and at 14 she was making Marks & Spencer's blouses at one shilling (5p) each.
She retired when she married. Later, when her marriage broke up, she was homeless with £40 in her purse. She went back to the rag trade and lived in a tiny caravan. But she never forgot her two ambitions, and when Manchester University decided to trial older women she applied, and three years later had achieved one ambition, so set her thoughts on number two.
In 1969, her first novel, Eternal Summer, was accepted five days from posting and she soon had a contract for 12 more. From the caravan she went to a small stately home, drove a Mercedes and sailed on the QE2. From the first book, came over 125 more written for Mills & Boon, Harlequin and Silhouette. Alan Boon (the Boon of Mills & Boon) and she came up with the title for 'Harlequin Presents' over lunch at the Ritz. She suggested to Alan that they have a historical series. He told her to write one - it was done in a month, entitled Eleanor and the Marquis under the pseudonym Jane Wilby. She has the distinction of being number one in Harlequin Presents, Masquerade and Silhouette. Many of "Presents" have been reprinted many times (some as many as 16) and are now fetching up to $55, being classed as "rare" books.
She has had 3 awards, one at the World Trade Centre where she received a standing ovation from her American fans, who had come from many states just to meet her.
She was retired, but in 2005 she wrote two romance and crime novels, both of which were published by Severn House.
She passed away on 25 September 2014. She has been written her autobiography, entitled Fate Was My Friend.

November 2, 2018Zero stars for this story.I didn't like the heroine even a little , she slept with her ex husband knowing he was already engaged to someone else and after that she too got engaged to her boss .After getting engaged then too she slept with the hero again the too she didn't break her engagement to her boss it was the boss who broke the engagement as he fell in love with someone else thank God or else if he had married the heroine she would have cheated him . And at the beginning too the heroine couldn't fight her abuser as she was tired and she was taking the support of her abuser I don't think any women will take the support of their abuser they will try to kick him away. So sorry no stars for this story .Hero too was not any better.

Two and a half stars. This is a modern Hampson, but it contains all the elements you expect -- jerk alpha H, doormat h, evil OW, lukewarm OM, plus it has the ability to leave a bad taste in your mouth afterwards as you mull over how the H behaved. The H is only half-Greek, which is why he doesn't actually rape her or imprison her in the classic Hellenic Hampson H style.
