About the author

Heather MacAllister

126 books30 followers
This author also writes as Heather Allison.

Heather MacAllister lives in Texas and is married to her high-school sweetheart. Following the instructions in How to Get a Teen-Age Boy, and What to Do with Him When You Get Him by Ellen Peck, one of her all-time favorite books, she expressed an interest in his hobby — ham radio. He challenged her — learn Morse code and get her license, and he’d take her to the senior prom. She did, and currently sports her call sign, WB5RMA, on her car license plate.

Heather became addicted to romance novels in college, yet still managed to graduate and become a music teacher. And then her sons were born. Within seven months, nine baby-sitters quit, so she took pity on the childcare industry, quit teaching, and began avoiding housework by writing during her sons’ nap time.

Heather has published over 40 books with Harlequin. Her award-winning romantic comedies have been translated into 25 languages and published in dozens of countries.

Before she was published, Heather won the Romance Writer's of America Golden Heart Award. Her published novels have been nominated for the RWA RITA award three times, and eHarlequin.com readers voted LONE STAR SANTA favorite Laugh-Out-Loud book of 2006. In addition to awards for best Harlequin Romance and best Harlequin Temptation, Romantic Times Book Reviews has twice nominated Heather for a Career Achievement Award in Series Love and Laughter.

When she's not writing, Heather spends her time collecting vintage jewelry, watching fireworks displays, and killing plants.

Letto e recensito da Dolci
Questo libro non si può certamente definire un capolavoro dalla trama avvincente, ma, nel periodo natalizio, leggere una storia così semplice, dolce e carina va più che bene!
Rusty e Trent sono stati "incastrati" a trascorrere le vacanze di Natale nel Ranch dell'uomo. Grazie, infatti, a un'inserzione sulla rubrica dei cuori solitari di un giornale, la dolce nonnina di lei e i tre diabolici zii di lui sperano che i rispettivi nipoti convolino a giuste nozze. Naturalmente i due non sono per niente d'accordo e cercheranno di far capire ai parenti che non hanno nessunissima intenzione di sposarsi. Né tra di loro, né con altri almeno per il momento. Come c'è da aspettarsi Rusty e Trent, all'inizio non si sopportano e, da qui, nasceranno dialoghi ironici e situazioni divertenti.
Anche se il finale è scontato, la storia non è noiosa, ma leggera e scorrevole e si fa leggere velocemente. Mi sono piaciuti tutti i personaggi anche se non sono caratterizzati così bene. Le situazioni, a volte esilaranti, in cui si sono trovati i due "promessi sposi" mi hanno spesso fatto sorridere.
Un libro che consiglierei, sicuramente, di leggere con una bella tazza di thé, vicino al camino, per passare un paio di ore rilassanti immersi nell'atmosfera natalizia.

T616 Dec97 Mail Order Men #5 Trent Creighton's three uncles have gone behind his back and advertised for a wife for him. They picked Rusty Romero and her grandmother to spend Christmas with them on their ranch. Her Grandmother answered their ad in "Texas Men Magazine". Rusty and Trent are work obsessed and will they work together to stay together?

Christmas Male
Storia tutto sommato simpatica (dire divertente è dire troppo), molto leggera nonostante i 4 vecchietti che avrei eliminato immediatamente. Ti fa passare qualche ora piacevolmente ma tutto qui, di certo non lascia il segno.
