More About the Author

Award-winning romance fiction author, Hope Tarr has been profiled in numerous newspapers, magazines, and television shows across the country for both her novels and her advocacy on behalf of domestic animals, notably the successful grassroots national Pet Overpopulation STAMP OUT Campaign.

A segment on NBC's Today Show included Hope gamely suggesting that romance novels "would make great how-to books for men." Roving reporter Mike Leonard followed up by filming himself sitting on the edge of his hotel room bed, ostensibly reading her historical romance, TEMPTING from cover to cover.

Ten years later, Hope is thrilled to re-release TEMPTING (Kindle Direct Publishing, February 14, 2012) as an e-book. With a fresh new cover and an extensive editorial overhaul, TEMPTING is now truly what Hope meant for it to be--the book of her heart.

Hope is also a co-founder and current principal of Lady Jane's Salon (www.LadyJaneSalon.com), New York City's first and only romance fiction reading series. Now in its third year, Lady Jane's has satellite salons in Denver, Raleigh-Durham and Naperville (Chicago area).

A Note From Hope:

I suppose you could say I've always been a dreamer. In my mind's eye, I can still see my first-grade teacher shaking her head and scolding, "Hope, stop daydreaming and pay attention!"

I tried, really I did. But how could the dreary assignment on the chalkboard begin to lure me away from the dashing Disney fairy-tale figures populating my head? Cinderella and Prince Charming, Snow White and Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty and Pr--

Well, you get the picture.

As a romance writer, I get to spin fairy-tales of my very own---life-affirming stories in which the hero and heroine find not only their soul mate but their souls into the bargain. I've written twelve books to date, both historical and contemporary settings. Regardless, the overarching message underlying each cherished story remains the same.

True love truly exists and yes, when shared, it is intrepid.

Wishing you fairytale dreams come true,

Hope Tarr

This review is from: Every Breath You Take... (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a great read. I really enjoyed watching the struggles of Cole in this book while he tries to protect the woman that he loves against anything that can hurt her including himself. While at the same time wanting to hold her as close as he possibly can without letting go. The steam between these two is so great that you never want it to end. I was so happy with the ending it was perfect.

This review is from: Every Breath You Take... (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

While working undercover in Denver masquerading as country and western singer Cole Coleman, FBI special agent Cole Whittaker fell in love with biotechnology expert Alexandra "Alex" Kendall; she reciprocated with all her heart, soul and body. However, when he suddenly vanished without a trace, she felt betrayed so deep it penetrated into every cell of her body.

Five years later Cole has left the Feds to run his own security company. Biotech expert Alex works for Traxton Biotechnologies, Inc., and is engaged to the firm's CEO Randall Traxton. Cole is hired to provide protection to Alex, who has received a viable threat while in Belize on business. Alex remains bone marrow deep with outrage by Cole's abandonment, but he remains inside her gut; she assumes if she sleeps with him, she can exorcise her demon.

This is an engaging second chance at love suspense starring two fascinating lead characters whose previous relationship was killed by national security interests. Although the threat to Alex never comes across as viable, fans will enjoy Cole willing to risk his life (and to him more significant his chance for happiness) to keep his beloved safe.
