aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

So what happens when a crappy lazy hero meets a strong opinionated heroine and decides that she aint good enough. She might have been career minded and a little shrewd, but that was NO EXCUSE for what the hero did.
In the abominable story called "Forgotten Honeymoon" Kristina and d-bag *cough* Max end up together because apparently forcing someone to mold into your version of perfect is SO ROMANTIC.
Our shi**y hero owns an inn, which our h Kristina Fortune gains half inheritance to after her grandmother passes away. Recovering from a recent breakup, she is appalled at the pathetic condition of the inn. Saying it like she means it, she informs her thoughts to the hero who does not like it.
So what does he do? When she has an accident and loses her memory, he convinces her she's a maid. Then makes her do menial tasks, and does his best to postpone the recovery because he prefers the new, nicer, tamer her.
I found the hero pathetic and that is all what I can say. Atleast he didnt try to sleep with a woman who didnt have all her reserves handy..
The only reason this isnt a 0 star is
-The series moves forward with a big moment involving Kate
-Sterling's confessions
Then again, the one moment of redemption was followed by regaining of memory..only for the h to turn into a pussyfooting teary mess after VOWING revenge.
GAAAAH.

Décimo-primeiro volume da séria Fortune's Children.
Uma história em que o heroi, se é que se pode chamá-lo assim, abusa da heroína ao convencê-la após uma perda de memória que ela é outra pessoa. Temos humilhação de classe, profissão e gênero.
Desprezível.

I'm not categorically opposed to amnesia plots, but this one is baaaaaaaaad. Her identity is stolen and she's put to work as a maid so that she can be taught a lesson and then that's all fine because they fell in love. No.
No, no, no, no.
Somehow my mom didn't find the last one in the original series, so I'm done until I can get my hands on it. Half price books, here I come!

Book 4 of the Fortune children series. Still some mystery to be solved. He shouldn't have waited so long to tell her the truth.
