About the Author

A former science geek, Susan Kay Law turned to romance writing as a career because it was the perfect excuse to avoid housework and continue spending all her time doing what she really loved: reading and daydreaming. Also because shewas really bad at sitting in a swamp at 5 A.M. in forty-degree weather and tracking bird behavior.

Winner of the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award and a Waldenbooks Bestseller award, twice nominated for a Rita Award, she confesses that the biggest surprise of her career was when this small town Midwestern preacher'skid was named to New Woman magazine's list of "the steamiest writers of women's fiction." Her greatest joy, however, is spending her days thoroughly outnumbered by four of the best males on the planet -- her husband and three sons. She currently lives in Minnesota, and plans to be a ski bum in her next life.

5.0 out of 5 stars ULTRA-SATISFYING ROMANCE, May 13, 2002

This review is from: Marry Me (Mass Market Paperback)

Susan Kay Law continues to establish herself as the best Americana ensemble cast romance writer out there. MARRY ME is pure magic, with a cast that is fully realized, in a place you come to love. This is an earthy and real romance between a damaged hero with heart and a heroine on her own quest. I loved this book and can't recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Jewel, June 30, 2002

This review is from: Marry Me (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first time I read one of this author's books and I must say, I was lucky indeed. Its not often that I sing the praises of a romance author and rarer still that I like both the hero and heroine in the story.

The storyline may be a little familiar but the author's take on it is certainly refreshing. What struck me as noteworthy is her quirky sense of humour as it surprised me into laughing out loud more than once. For those who like a good western with lots of laughter and wonderful sensual scenes thrown in, this would be the book to read.

Kudos to Ms. Law on a fine book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Susan Kay Law does it again!, June 21, 2002

This review is from: Marry Me (Mass Market Paperback)

In this second novel of the Miss Bright series, Susan Kay Law has surpassed herself than she did in Anthea's story! Susan Kay Law should be ranked right up there with Johanna Lindsey and Jude Devereaux.

As I did with Gabriel Jackson in the BAD MAN'S BRIDE, Anthea's story, I fell in love with Jake Sullivan in MARRY ME, Emily's story.

Emily Bright wanting and needing to be independent, tells her sister, Kate, who is arranging affairs after the death of her husband, that she is going to Colorado to see their sister Anthea and her husband, Gabriel. Instead she heads to Montana to claim land for who own.

After losing his first wife, he had abandoned his land claim six months ago. But now he's back, and there is a temptuously beautiful woman in his bed. He tries everything to get her to leave, waiting her out, hoping she'd leave, even offering to buy her piece out just to get her off his land.

In the midst of the arguing over the property, Emily receives a letter from Kate saying that Kate is coming to visit. Emily had written to her and told Kate she had married. Kate wanted to meet the new husband. But what husband? So she goes to Jake and begs him to pretend that they are married just until Kate leaves. He reluctantly agrees to do so, but in the process Jake falls madly in love with her, when he hadn't meant to and wants to make their pretend marriage real.

Susan Kay Law has outdone herself with the Miss Bright books. I love them!
