Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1997 | Series: Harlequin Presents (Book 1890)

The prodigal lover…

Lydie had grown up too close to Marius Benedict to remain immune to her stepcousin's fatal charm. But Marius had merely seduced and abandoned her, leaving town under a cloud of scandal. Five long years and, no doubt, a dozen meaningless affairs later, Marius had walked back into her life, looking for all the world as if he owned it! The trouble was, he did.

As far as Marius was concerned, it was Lydie who was the deceiver. He had been away a long time—just long enough to have planned his revenge on Lydie Benedict down to the first quiver of her lips….

Forbidden!—when passion knows no reason…

More About the Author

I was born in California and grew up there on the beaches of SoCal where I used to think I would write humorous social commentaries and pithy columns about life between "here and the pier" in Manhattan Beach.

But then I left. I went away to college and then married and moved to the Midwest. Since then I've been in the Midwest and Montana and made the mental transition to life with four seasons with no trouble at all.

In fact, last time I was in MB I looked at the inlaid terrazzo tiles in the sidewalk on the hill leading down to the pier and thought to myself, "Who on earth would put tiles in the sidewalk? It will be so hard to shovel the snow off!"

See?

Despite my beach upbringing, I was the child of transplanted okies and montanans, and my love of cowboys was apparently bred in the bone. The first man I fell in love with was a cowboy. I was five years old -- and I imprinted on him, following him everywhere, like a duck.

So when I started writing romance fiction years later, there was no question that even my CEOs and beach volleyball players and Greek tycoons were, at their heart, cowboy heroes.

McAllister heroes have a strong sense of honor, determination, competence, and a "get it done" attitude. They are more often lone wolves than they are alphas. They go their own way -- until they meet the woman who makes them want to share their life. And a lone wolf who takes on a spouse has to have some alpha in him. She definitely brings it out.

Writing has been a wonderful opportunity for me to expand my horizons, to learn more about things that interest me. It gives me license to satisfy my curiosity and to meet people from all walks of life. I love it. The ideas never seem to dry up. They are everywhere. I'm looking forward to writing a whole lot more.

I'm always glad to hear from readers so stop by my website or blog if you have comments or questions.

This review is from: Finn's Twins! (From Here To Paternity) (Harlequin Presents, No 1890) (Mass Market Paperback)

I like this little read out at the back of the book. ******
FROM HERE TO PATERNITY -- men who find their way to fatherhood by fair means, by foul, or even by default!
When it comes to the female sex, Finn MacCauley is an expert. Except, that is, when the females in question are his six-year-old nieces -- and identical twins. Finn just isn't equipped to be a father........
Izzy, on the other hand, is an ideal mother. If only she wasn't engaged to another man!
All Finn has to do is persuade Izzy that being temporary surrogate parents will be terrific fun [boy, was he in for a surprise.] Nearly as much fun as sharing Finn's glamorous life-style ... and his bed! ********
Izzy taught Finn about sharing love and [grin] not the pictures of his models with his little nieces. Pansy and Tansy, in turn, taught Finn the joys of family and did their darndest to convince Finn that he needed Izzy in his life.
She didn't really have to marry Sam, did she?
Don't forget to look for the follow up story of Sam in #1932 - Fletcher's Baby
PMS - premarital sex tainted the story but over all the characters interaction was great. Especially Pansy and Tansy!

This review is from: Finn's Twins! (From Here To Paternity) (Harlequin Presents, No 1890) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you can get your hands on a copy of this book, do so by all means. I laughed myself sick at the turmoil the twins and Izzy caused poor old Finn. He didn't have a clue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finn's Twins by Anne McAllister (Harlequin Mills & Boon), May 17, 2006

This review is from: Finn's Twins! (Romance) (Hardcover)

First book in Anne McAllister's outstanding New York! New York! series ... all six books in this series are not to be missed. I recommend reading them in order, although each can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel as well. Make room on your keeper shelf for the entire series: Finn's Twins, Fletcher's Baby, Gibson's Girl, Rhys's Redemption, The Inconvenient Bride, and Nathan's Child.
