About the author
Kylie Brant
83 books640 followersThe mother of five children, Kylie Brant claims she began writing to save her sanity. Plotting stories became her method of escape from the reality of constant ball games, chauffeuring kids, and refereeing "minor" disagreements between her perfect offspring.
In 1992 she was elated to get a call from Silhouette offering to buy her second novel. Home with laryngitis at the time, she still managed to croak out agreement, and her career was born. A few months later she went on to sell Rancher's Choice, the first manuscript she’d written.
Kylie is married to her high school sweetheart, and they make their home in Iowa. She insists that all her heroes are based on her husband of 23 years because he possesses that most heroic of make qualities — ironing skills. Those abilities come in handy, as she juggles a full time teaching job with writing and a family.
Doing things the easy way has never held much appeal for this multi award-winning author. She graduated with high honors from the University of Northern Iowa. A graduation photo shows her in cap and gown holding her two sons, one aged 16 months and the other three weeks. She went on to obtain a teaching job working with learning-disabled children while completing her master’s degree at night and during summers.
"There was a time in my life when I could imagine myself as a life-long student," she recalls. "I actually toyed with the idea of pursuing a doctorate. But instead, my life took a spin and I ended up writing romances. I’ve never regretted it!" Her family has since been completed by the birth of another son and a set of twins, a boy and a girl.
Kylie’s books are regularly featured on bestseller lists such as Waldenbooks and B. Dalton Bookseller. With over a million copies of books in print, her novels have been distributed in 20 countries and released in seven languages.
Family and friends are the main focus of Kylie’s life. When she isn’t writing or teaching, she enjoys reading and flower gardening. She loves traveling, preferring beach, ocean, and room service.

Friday's Child was such a simple sweet romance.
Michael Friday is highly successful and loves his daughter. He worked hard to get wealthy. His wealthy father walked out on him and his mother and he watched his mother struggle, so he opened his own company and destroyed his father's but he works hard not be as callous as him. His marriage didn't work out as his wife as his wife and him didn't have much shared interests so when she reverts primary custody of his daughter to him he is happy. He tried the casual route but now it no longer interests him.
One day in walks Kate into his office and life, he is attracted to her immensely and then he finds out that she is his daughter Chloe's teacher and is saying his daughter may have attention deficit disorder, he gets angry but later on he cools down and even apologizes to her.
Michael was single-minded, he saw Kate and decided that she was wonderful and he wanted to marry her and went about it but Kate wasn't that easy to capture. Kate was raised by a controlling father and she doesn't want another man like that and Michael has the ability to take charge.
On top of that he has the ability to make her see reason for her doubts. I enjoyed the book a lot, Michael didn't have it easy, poor him, he didn't know he feel for her and has no problem in saying he cares for her and when he thinks he lost her, he has a panic attack. I enjoyed how he made Kate see that what he tried doing for her was out of love and control.
Rating 4.5
