More About the Author

"[Rebecca York's] books. . . deliver what they promise: excitement, mystery, romance. . ."
- Michael Dirda, Washington Post

An award-winning, best-selling novelist, Ruth Glick is the author of over 100 books. Writing as Rebecca York, she has authored or co-authored over 50 romantic suspense novels. The first of her Berkley Sensation paranormal romantic suspense novels, KILLING MOON, was published in June 2003; EDGE OF THE MOON followed in August 2003 and WITCHING MOON in October 2003. KILLING MOON and EDGE OF THE MOON were launch books for the Berkley Sensation imprint.

She writes the popular 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue. Over 30 Light Street Intrigues have been published. NOWHERE MAN was called "one of the most heart-wrenching, moving works of romantic suspense in several years," by reviewer Harriet Klausner.

Ruth's many awards include two Rita finalist books. She has two Career Achievement awards from Romantic Times: for Series Romantic Suspense and Series Romantic Mystery. NOWHERE MAN was the Romantic Times Best Intrigue of 1998, and the book has been selected as one of their Reviewers' "all-time favorite 400 romances." In addition, she received the 1998 Affaire de Coeur's Critics Choice Award for Best Contemporary Novel, also for NOWHERE MAN. Ruth's book, KILLING MOON won the 2003 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award for best Paranormal. AMANDA'S CHILD won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for Long Contemporary and was nominated for Best Intrigue of 2000 by Romantic Times. "Tyler" in BAYOU BLOOD BROTHERS won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for best Novella. In 2007 THE SECRET NIGHT received the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Harlequin Intrigue. Ruth's cookbook, 100% PLEASURE, was picked by USA Today as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994; her FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the MidAtlantic Publishers Association's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award.

Several of Ruth's Moon books (WITCHING MOON, SHADOW OF THE MOON, and NEW MOON) have been on the USA Today best-seller list.

Ruth and her husband travel frequently to research settings for novels and taste new dishes for cookbooks. Her many unique experiences are apt to end up in her books--like the time she encountered a coral snake in the Guatemalan jungle or took a flight in a hot air balloon.

5.0 out of 5 stars torrid private investigative romance, January 9, 2004

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Bedroom Therapy (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

One month ago sexual therapist Esther Knight died. Vanessa magazine owner Beth Cantro needed someone to take over the deceased sexpert's column written under the pseudonym Esther Scott. Beth turned to her friend Dr. Amanda O'Neal to take over the column. Knowing that she probably will not receive tenure at Harmons College due to her former relationship with Bob Burns, now head of the Psych department, a reluctant Amanda, feeling she is in over her head (no pun intended), agrees.

Private investigator Zachary Grant investigates the murder of Dr. Knight in New York. He visits Amanda in her Maryland Eastern Shore home seeking clues, but instead the duo vibrates with horniness for one another. When someone tries to kill Amanda, Zach offers his protection. Soon they are making love and falling in love, but a killer still lurks.

BEDROOM THERAPY is a torrid private investigative romance with the heated emphasis on the equatorial hot relationship between the sleuth and the doctor. The story line is fun to follow especially when Zach and Amanda compete to turn the other on (not that it took much). The murder subplot is more an impetus to bring the dynamic duo together so that the honorary chains of love can bind them.

2.0 out of 5 stars THEY BOTH NEED THERAPY!, October 7, 2006

This review is from: Bedroom Therapy (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

Lots of hot seduction scenes but not much of a story line. She's a Ph.D. in human sexuality (with little experience) and he's an ex-cop with a "problem" since his ex-wife left him. He seemed a little too "Beta" for a cop. She has taken over the sexual advice column in a magazine and someone is out to kill her. He's sent to protect her. Their relationship is too hot then cold to be believable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wallowing in mediocrity..., February 22, 2004

This was not one of the best Blaze books I've read, but it also was not one of the worst... I would have preferred if Amanda had more hang-ups (or a more extended storyline... tell us more about what happened with the guy at Harmons), instead of making all the conflict come from Zach. The sex scenes were hot, but too unrealistic to really be enjoyed. I don't understand how these books make the couple fall madly in love with each other, to the point of MARRIAGE, after only a week of knowing one another.
Read this only if you have NOTHING better on your shelf... And get it from the library; don't waste money on it!
