More About the Author

Bettye Griffin was told by her English professor that she had a gift for writing and might want to consider pursuing writing as a professional career. She promptly dropped out of college and started crafting stories...and just 22 short years later sold her first book. Bettye writes both contemporary romance and women's fiction. A native of Yonkers, New York, Bettye has also lived in Florida and Illinois, and now crafts her compelling, drama-filled tales from her home in the great dairy state of Wisconsin. Bettye thoroughly enjoys Wisconsin's contributions to the American diet and often nibbles on cheese while writing, and she celebrates a good day of writing by having a glass of the beer that made Milwaukee famous.

Since 1998, Bettye has written 6 novels of women's fiction, including Once Upon A Project (2008) and A New Kind of Bliss (2009); and 13 contemporary romances, including A Love For All Seasons (2007) and A Love of Her Own (1999). In 2009, seeing the creative and financial freedom of publishing independent projects, Bettye started her own imprint, Bunderful Books, and to date has published three contemporary romances through this outlet, Save The Best For Last (2009), The Heat of Heat (2010), and A Kiss of a Different Color (2011).

This review is from: Love Affair (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

Desiree Mack was an appraisal agent for resort hotels. She enjoyed her work very much. After a recent breakup with her fiancee, she was asked to assist one of the bosses of her company on an appraisal trip to Africa. Desiree thought it a good idea to get far away. She was asked to potray the bosses wife. Desiree thought it part of the job and didn't mind, but soon found herself attracted and falling for her handsome boss Austin Hughes.

Austin Hughes thought using Desiree as his wife a piece of cake, since he has been at this for so long. He used another agent numerous times in the past. He never thought Desiree would effect him the way she did. She was so easy going and loving, he found he couldn't see his life without her in it. He even gave her a nickname Desi. Desiree got sick on the way back to the United States. Austin told the flight attendant that his wife was ill. He later realized he actually thought of Desiree in that way. He wanted to protect and care for her. Austin finds out someone is trying to destroy his business and starts to work on finding out who it is.

Love Affair was a simple story about falling in love. I think there could have been a little more intrigue with the person who was trying to sabatoge Austin's business. I am however,looking forward to Vivian and Zack's story.
