Every Woman's Dream (EasyRead Print)

by Bethany Campbell

He was every woman's dream

Like manna from heaven, Cal Buchanon's photograph landed on Tess Avery's desk. It would guarantee the success of the calendar project she'd been assigned. It would launch Tess in New York's advertising world.

"He's too good to be true," Tess said, looking at the photo of Cal holding a gangling palomino foal in his arms.

But the man was real enough, Tess would discover. It was the signature on the release forms allowing her to use his picture that was pure forgery...

About the author

Sally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English.

Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence.

She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.

[Annarose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tess Avery was haunted by painful memories of the past after the death of her mother. Because of the suppression of her father and two brothers, she left home. She got herself a job at Madigon Advertising Agency. It was a maddening job, but it would eventually got her to New York, where she thinks she belonged. Unfortunaley, there was a setback! In the form of Cal Buchanon! She was supposed to find 12 sexy single farmers to pose for a charitable calender, and so she advertised. Cal Buchanon's niece sent his more than attractive pictures, but unfortunately, forged his release form and he was now furious and threatening to sew their agency! In order to salvage the the calender, her job and her dreams, Tess tried to convince him the pictures were for a good cause, but it was a near impossible mission to Tess. The man was a rock - a very attactive rock at that - and so Tess reverted to blackmail!

I liked it. Bethany Campbell never fails to make her readers intrigued to the very end. Every book of hers is interesting and a battle of wills. Amazingly, all her heros and heroines seem to be right in their stance until circumstance, emotions and change of conventions intervene.

Very clean read, just a few kisses. Very little profanity. I liked the hero. He was a nice guy who got caught up in a media circus because of the heroine's machinations. I didn't much care for her at first but I slowly warmed up to her.
