About the author
Beverly Barton
300 books709 followersBeverly 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.

เป็นอีกเล่มหนึ่งในชุดนี้ที่แม็กซ์ให้คะแนนในระดับบวกค่ะ แม้ว่าตัวละครจะไม่เป็นที่คุ้นหน้าแฟนหนังสือในชุดเท่าไหรนัก แต่แม็กซ์ชอบวิธีการที่เบฟเวอรี่เล่นกับภูมิหลังของพระเอกที่มาจากครอบครัวมาเฟีย เธอไม่ได้ทำให้มันดูสวยหรูหรือถูกต้องชอบธรรมที่จะรีดไถเงินจากคนที่ทำมาหากินอย่างสุจริต นางเอกที่เป็นผู้พิพากษาขัดแย้งกับอดีตของพระเอกอย่างชัดเจนยิ่งทำให้เรื่องมีความน่าสนใจ โดยรวมเรื่องยังคงใช้พล็อตเก่าที่คุ้นตา นางเอกที่ถูกปองร้ายจนต้องจ้างพระเอกให้มาเป็นบอดี้การ์ดคุ้มครอง แต่ความแตกต่างเล็กน้อยในเรื่องบวกกับฝีมือในการดำเนินเรื่องให้น่าสนใจ ทำให้นี่เป็นอีกเล่มในชุดนี้ที่คุณไม่ควรพลาด
