Biography from Harlequin Romance #2489 The Golden Spaniard

"When one happens to be an unmarried woman of forty-five and apparently fixed for the rest of her working life in a safe and settled job," Rebecca Stratton says of herself, "it is apt to be regarded as bordering on the insane to suddenly give it all up and become a full-time writer."

But that is precisely what British-born and -bred Rebecca did one August day in 1967. Writing had always been her ultimate aim, and she felt that if she didn't make the move right then and there she'd end her days as "one more elderly lady sighing for what might have been."

When Rebecca Stratton's first attempt at a romance novel was accepted, she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. So she did both. Then she celebrated with friends and relatives. And then sat down to the job of writing more books - and reveled in it!

Reviews

It's a fantasy story, with all ingredients that constitute a woman's ultimate fantasies !!

She inherits a property and loads of cash in exotic Hawaii. She gets to court two men at the same time.

And she doesn't do a single useful task in the entire story other than dress up and come down for dinner. Also flirt with her men of course.

Aah , what a life !! The author is really on a dream boat here :)

The girl finally settles to snare the richer, hotter of the 2 men. And HEA.

3 stars.

My first, I think, and definitely my last, Harlequin Romance. Published in 1975, it clearly depicts a patriarchal society filled with misogynistic control. I couldn’t quite believe what I was reading!

I usually dont like romance but this book was really good and I could not put it down.

I read this as a pre-teen. I'll admit I had a crush on Kai back then. Reading this as an adult it seemed a little boring. It was funny how many times it was mentioned when kai had his shirt half way unbottoned or when he didn't have a shirt on at all. No wonder I had a crush on him.
