More About the Author

With her roots firmly planted in the South, Sherryl Woods has written many of her more than 100 books in that distinctive setting, whether her home state of Virginia, her adopted state, Florida, or her much-adored South Carolina. She's also especially partial to small towns wherever they may be. In Amazing Gracie, as in her later Trinity Harbor series, Woods creates a fictional version of the town where she spends summers on the shores of the Potomac River. "This town just lends itself to fascinating characters and a charming locale," she says.

A member of Novelists Inc., Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America, Sherryl divides her time between her childhood summer home overlooking the Potomac River in Colonial Beach, Virginia, and her oceanfront home with its lighthouse view, in Key Biscayne, Florida. "Wherever I am, if there's no water in sight, I get a little antsy," she says.

Sherryl also loves hearing from readers. You can join her at her blog, www.justbetweenfriendsblog.com, visit her Web site at www.sherrylwoods.com or contact her directly at [e-mail].

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story, fast and easy read, but the language was a little weak, January 22, 2008

This review is from: The Cowboy And His Baby (Silhouette Special Edition # 1009) (Mass Market Paperback)

Cody and Melissa are dating in Texas. She wants it to get serious, and he is basically enjoying being a flirt/minor playboy, so she decides to try to make him jealous as a ploy to get him to commit. This backfires, and Cody storms out of Texas for Montana. Cody comes back from Montana for a family funeral and discovers that Melissa gave birth to his daughter. He decides he wants to get married immediately, but Melissa is scared to trust him again.

The characters are spunky, spirited, strong-willed, and easy to route for. The plot doesn't have many twists, but it is written well enough to be interesting. The book is just about the right length, as anticipation builds and the story does not feel like it was dragged out. The language is basic, but sometimes I just felt that the wrong word was used to describe the person/situation. There were also a few places that some additional editing would have been useful, but this is very minor and is not likely to affect one's enjoyment.

I liked the book well enough that I read it, kept it for a few years and reread it. I won't be reading it a third time, so now I'll just donate it somewhere!
