New York Times and USA Today best selling author, Heather Graham was born somewhere in Europe and kidnapped by gypsies when she was a small child. She went on to join the Romanian circus as a trapeze artist and lion tamer. When the circus came to South Florida, she stayed, discovering that she preferred to be a shark and gator trainer.
Not really.
Heather is the child of Scottish and Irish immigrants who met and married in Chicago, and moved to South Florida, where she has spent her life. (She has, at least, been to the Russian circus in Moscow, where she wished she was one of the incredibly talented and coordinated trapeze artists.) She majored in theater arts at the University of South Florida. After a stint of several years in dinner theater, back-up vocals, and bartending, she stayed home after the birth of her third child and began to write. Her first book was with Dell, and since then, she has written over one hundred and fifty novels and novellas including category, suspense, historical romance, vampire fiction, time travel, occult, horror, and Christmas family fare.
She is pleased to have been published in approximately twenty-five languages, and has had over seventy-five million books in print. She has been honored with awards from Walden Books, B. Dalton, Georgia Romance Writers, Affaire de Coeur, Romantic Times, the Lifetime Achievement Award from RWA and more. Heather has also become the proud recipient of the Silver Bullet from Thriller Writers. Heather has had books selected for the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild, and has been quoted, interviewed, or featured in such publications as The Nation, Redbook, Mystery Book Club, People and USA Today and appeared on many newscasts including Today, Entertainment Tonight and local television.
Heather loves travel and anything that has to do with the water, and is a certified scuba diver. She also loves ballroom dancing. Each year she hosts the Vampire Ball and Dinner theater at the RT convention raising money for the Pediatric Aids Society and in 2006 she hosted the first Writers for New Orleans Workshop to benefit the stricken Gulf region. She is also the founder of "The Slush Pile Players", presenting something that's almost like entertainment for various conferences and benefits. Married since high school graduation and the mother of five, her greatest love in life remains her family, but she also believes her career has been an incredible gift, and she is grateful every day to be doing something that she loves so very much for a living.
I am usually not a reader of these types of books, but I found an old copy of it when I was riding the bus and couldnt put it down. I must have done the bus circut two or three times before I realized I was so engrossed that I missed my stop. Thre reading continued until I got home and finally fell asleep with my sleepy head resting right on "The End." Read this book with the doors locked and a box of kleenex at hand. You'll value your privacy because this book captured the wild horses of my emotion.

This review is from: Bride of the Tiger (Harlequin Sensation Large Print) (Paperback)
Description from the book back cover:
He belonged in the jungle ... When Tara Hill first saw Rafe Tyler, she was reminded of a tiger preparing to stalk its victim. When he followed her, she realised she was right. He was a hunter, and he was hunting her. She was frightened, but she felt his power more than she would admit to him - or to herself. Rafe would do whatever was necessary to find out what had really happened to his stepbrother. He was certain that Tara Hill knew the truth, and he was determined to make her talk. But then Rafe discovered he wanted more than just information from Tara - a lot more ...

I am a huge fan of Heather Graham Pozzessere (aka Shannon Drake) and her sweeping historical romances (see my other reviews) so this contemporary was a bit of a detour for me but I loved it. The hero, Rafe Tyler, from a successful family of merchant seamen and traders, is the tiger--a hunk to die for and a wise one at 37. He's looking for his half brother who he loves who disappeared into the wilds of Venezuela two years ago in a shoot out involving a theft of antiquities and a beautiful blonde model, Tara Hill. Tara has been cruelly treated by a twisted former lover and is afraid to trust. She needs cash as she's been away from modeling and hiding for the last two years since that horrible day. The first time Rafe and Tara meet, the chemistry between them makes their blood boil, but Rafe intends to use her to get to his brother if he's still alive and does not bargain on love with a woman he does not trust. This was a well told story, the characters finely drawn and the relationship believable. Graham is simply one of the very best at romance and I love all her novels. While this is one of her shorter novels at 249 pages, it is well worth the read. You won't be disappointed!
