Cara Colter was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, surrounded by ranches, but she was always a reluctant city girl. A journalism graduate, she has been making her living with words for her entire adult life. Before published her first romance novel in 1987, she wrote educational materials, newspaper stories, magazine articles and even sermons!
"I am living proof that dreams come true," Cara says. "I am an ordinary person leading an extraordinary life."
Now she lives on a small acreage in British Columbia. She shares her life with her personal hero, Rob, a cat and eight horses. She has three grown children, and already is a granmother.
In Miss Maple and the Playboy by Cara Colter, I give it three stars. The title, for one, is inaccurate. He is hardly a playboy. Yes, he has some ex-girlfriends but that is not unusual and nothing that would lead one to believe that he'd been seriously playing the field. The characters are relatively believable, the diary excerpts taken from the 11 year old boy's diary are unbelievable. No 11 year old boy understands his own feelings that much or talks with that language usage. The book occasionally went into unnecessary exposition that was not helpful or needed and took away from the story. Parts of the story flowed well and were relate-able.
