More About the Author
Award winning author Karen Kendall has always been a creative spirit, fleeing into the fictional world at an early age, emerging only to obtain a Bachelors' degree in something even less practical: Art History. After completing graduate coursework for an MA and working for several small museums and a large commercial art gallery, she realized her dream of being an author, and has since published over twenty novels. She now resides both in South Florida and in her various story worlds. Her husband Don tolerates her imaginary friends -- as long as she socializes with real ones, too!

A witty, sensitive read,
By A Customer
This review is from: I've Got You, Babe (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, I admit it, I'm hooked on Karen Kendall books. I know when I pick up one of her stories I'm going to find entertaining characters, intriguing plots, and outrageous turns of phrase that keep me smiling long after I've turned the last page. In 'I've Got You Babe,' strait-laced art history professor Vanessa Tower finds herself manipulated into teaching the grandson of a famous artist about his grandfather's work. The grandson,"Crash" Dunmoor,has spent much of his life, climbing, kayaking,and parachuting out of planes--anything to avoid the legacy of his grandfather. There's lots of witty fun in this story of two very different people forced to work together. But there's also a great deal of depth and intelligence in the characters, their issues, and the increasing attraction between them. Terrific!

I'd take the Crash Test any day...,
By A Customer
This review is from: I've Got You, Babe (Mass Market Paperback)
Karen Kendall's third book packs a wallop. Tightly-laced art historian Vanessa Tower has no idea what she's in for when she approaches tightly-built Crash Dunmoor with what seems like a simple request. But Dr. Tower learns pretty quickly she isn't going to pass this Crash Test without some serious damage to her heart. He's hard, he's tough and he has a well-insulated heart, but Vanessa knows all about the latter because she has one, too. As usual, Ms. Kendall's writing is clean and clear as she reaches out and grabs the reader's heart and mind. She writes knowledgably about art history and art interpretation, subjects that are over the head of a lot of people (like this reviewer) and makes the subject matter interesting and accessible. And, of course, she delivers one-liners that had me giggling out loud. I'll never be able to look at hens quite the same way.... The bottom line is ... buy this book. You won't be disappointed. And Ms. Kendall, if you ever read this, ... KEEP WRITING!!

Another winner from author Karen Kendall,
By A Customer
This review is from: I've Got You, Babe (Mass Market Paperback)
Karen Kendall shines yet again in I'VE GOT YOU BABE. This author knows how to make you laugh out loud while at the same time say awwww over the really sweet and poignant ways her very disparate characters discover themselves and each other."Crash" is a hunk to die for, and Vanessa the kind of woman we all wish we could be. Definitely two people (and a book) you don't want to miss. I'm eagerly anticipating Ms. Kendall's next book.
