More About the Author

I wrote my first story -- a tragic romance about two star-crossed Mallard ducks -- as a second grade writing assignment. The paper earned a gold star. And I kept writing.

I've since written around a hundred novels and have been published in twenty-six countries. Two of my titles have been excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine and my books have also been published by the Doubleday, Rhapsody, Mystery Guild, and Literary Guild bookclubs. As a New York Times, U.S. Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, I'm also a member of the Romance Writers of America's Honor Roll of best-selling authors.

I'm currently writing my Shelter Bay series, set on the magnificent Oregon coast where, when I was eighteen-years-old, my high school sweetheart bought me a bag of taffy, then proposed. The smartest thing I ever did was say yes!

My husband and I live in our beloved Pacific Northwest, with three rescued dogs who pretty much rule the house. (And, in case you're wondering, that taffy store is still there! )

This review is from: Moonstruck Lovers (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

I bought this after a good experience with the first book in this series, Star Crossed Lovers. This one had much more of a sci-fi flavor to it since the hero borrowed his new alien brother-in-laws device to make a trip back to the home planet to clear his name. The characters were credible and likeable, but because this book, by necessity due to it's out-of-this-world setting, required much more of a sci-fi background, the plot fell a bit flat. The hero adjusted too readily to a strange world to be credible. Just visit a foreign country, for example. NOBODY adjusts that easily. The whole reason the bad guys were after them was, again, contrived. So was the planets fate at the end. It wasn't necessary.

Still ... I'm giving this book 4 stars. This is a romance novel, not a sci-fi novel, so judging by Isaac Asimov standards would not be fair. As a romance, it was a wonderful, light read that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy at the end. The characters worked out their differences in a credible manner and by the end you honestly believe they're going to be able to KEEP working things out and stay together. I will look for other works by this author to buy and hope she continues to research her sci-fi background and incorporates it into her romances.
