About the author

Beverly Marie Inman was born on 23 December 1946 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA. Daughter of Doris Marie and Walter D. Inman Jr. A born romantic, she fell in love with The Beauty and the Beast epic at an early age, when her grandfather bought her an illustrated copy of the famous fairy tale. Even before she learned to read and write, her vivid imagination created magical words and fabulous characters inside her mind. Movies fascinated her, and by the time she was seven she was rewriting the movies she saw on television and at the local theater to give them all happy endings. By the age of nine she'd penned her first novel. She wrote short stories, TV scripts, poetry, and novels throughout high school and into college.

After her marriage to Billy Ray Beaver, the "love of her life", and the births of her two children, Beverly continued to be a voracious reader and a devoted moviegoer, but she put her writing aspirations on hold until her children were teenagers. At every age of their lives, from infancy to adulthood, the children had been a true joy to her. She devoted herself to her husband and children and considered herself one of the many selfless "supermoms" who put their family's needs first. She believed she had had it all, just not all at the same time.

In her mid-30s, Beverly returned to her former passion — writing — as a hobby, but before 40, she decided that she wanted to make writing a full-time career. And when she rediscovered an old dream — of becoming a published writer — no one was more supportive of her aspirations than her family. Her children were her greatest cheerleaders and her husband was her biggest supporter. After writing over 40 books and receiving numerous awards and nominations, as well as having books on the USA Today list and consistently on the Waldenbooks bestseller list, her career was indeed a dream come true. Having a fantastic family and fabulous friends, as well as making a living doing the one thing she had loved doing since childhood, she considered herself truly blessed. Beverly died suddenly of heart failure on 21 April 2011.

Psychic heroine,naive and on the idealistic side vs tortured hero on the cynical and dark side :)
Cheesy dialog- the rolling your eyes kind

เล่มนี้ก็ยังไม่ใช่ชุดผู้พิทักษ์อย่างเป็นทางการ แต่เป็นเรื่องราวของหลานสาวของแซม ดันดี ที่เข้าไปพัวพันกับผู้ชายที่ไม่คู่ควรกับเธอ เขาเป็นลูกนอกสมรสของเศรษฐีในเมือง เป็นคนที่ถูกดูแคลนมาตลอดชีวิตว่าไม่มีวันประสบความสำเร็จในเรื่องใดเลย เป็นคนที่ถูกกล่าวหาว่าเป็นอาชญากรตัวร้าย นิยายเรื่องนี้ถือเป็นแบบอย่างที่จูลี่ตัวละครในหนังสือเรื่องนึงที่ถูกกล่าวขวัญกันมากที่สุดของจูดิธ แม็คน็อคเรื่อง Perfect ไม่มีวันเป็นได้ (ใครจำฉากที่เธอพาตำรวจมาจับพระเอกกันได้บ้างไหม) เพราะอลิซาเบ็ทเชื่อมันในผู้ชายของเธอ ไม่ว่าใครจะพูดว่ายังไงก็ตาม

Great book.

I loved this book and devoured it in a day. Elizabeth has visions of Reece and really believes he’s innocent. I felt for them. He’s never trusted anyone, can he really trust her? Who’s framed him for murder? Will he ever love her? I did cry for them and so happy when they finally got their happy ever after. I highly recommend this book.

Good read.

Not bad but still too angsty for my tastes these days. I liked it better when I was younger.

[Sherry · Rating 2 out of 5]

I would have liked to rate this book higher, it had a lot of good things going for it. But the story seemed to a little dry; not one of her better titles. Yet if you are a fan of Beverly Barton's and you are following her "Protector" series; then yes it is a must read. Because it has an essential character; Manda Munroe. I wasn't even aware that Sam Dundee was a legal guardian until I read The Outcast.

Kalo sudah baca After the Dark (Linda Howard) maka pembunuhnya sama persis, dari motif sampai dengan profesinya.

Suka melihat chemistry antara Reece & Liz. Bagaimana Liz's unconditional love bikin Reece ga bisa berkutik.
