Former public health nurse, now award-winning romance novelist, Cheryl Reavis, describes herself as a "late bloomer." Her Silhouette Special Edition™, A CRIME OF THE HEART, reached millions of readers in Good Housekeeping magazine and won the Romance Writers of America's coveted RITA award the year it was published. She has also won the RITA award for her Harlequin-Silhouette novels, PATRICK GALLAGHER'S WIDOW, THE PRISONER, and THE BRIDE FAIR. BLACKBERRY WINTER, THE BARTERED BRIDE and a Berkley novel, PROMISE ME A RAINBOW, have been RITA award finalists. She has received numerous awards from Romantic Times magazine.
Her award-winning literary short stories have appeared in The Crescent Review, The Bad Apple, The Mosaic, The Sanskrit, Laurels, The Emrys Journal and Writer's Choice.
Publishers Weekly described her Berkley single-title novel, PROMISE ME A RAINBOW, as "...an example of delicately crafted, eminently satisfying romantic fiction."
Arley and Will come from very different worlds but the love they share builds bridges to bond them to each other and the families they love. Real people with baggage find strength in each other to heal the wounds of the past and promise a future worth fighting for. Bravo Ms Reavis. Once again it is almost 2:30 in the morning but I couldn't put this book down. Loved it!
i usually LOVE reavis, but this one was pretty terrible, stilted dialogue, improbable reactions, general silliness... what makes it worse is that i really liked Arley's sister romance, so clearly they were written close together, a good book and a terrible one, how weird!
