More About the Author

I met my very own prince charming, married him and have two delightful daughters. Raised as the only girl with three overprotective older brothers, I am constantly amazed at the wild things that a pair of sisters will do and say. I live in a quiet little town in the country where, on occasion, I slip out of this world and into the captivating world of my imagination.

When I first discovered romance books, I was awed that such a fabulous world existed. I've always loved to read, but up until I'd picked up a Madeline Baker historical romance I'd been reading only the things handed down by my mom. Talented authors such as Martha Grimes, Agatha Christie and even a few Mary Higgins Clarks.

So, imagine my surprise when I read about Native Americans meeting and falling in love with white women of the west and living happily ever after. I knew I'd finally found the genre for me!

Still, it wasn't until quite a few years later that I tried my hand at actually writing a romance. I now have over thirty titles to my name. My books can be found in Target, Barnes and Noble and other popular retailers. Canada's largest newspaper, The Toronto Star, recommends my books as an alternative read to Fifty Shades of Grey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really?? Don't bother. September 28, 2012

By dasm

I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. Not only did I not like this story but I had to force myself to finish it. The heroine was a completely likable, smart, rational character fleshed out in the early pages of the book as loyal, thoughtful and caring. Then we meet the hero who is close to his family (a group of accomplished security experts)and who loves his sister and sister-in-laws. Then the hero reacts irrationally towards the heroine, despite the fact that his brother and in laws have fully vetted her without any concerns regarding her genuineness. Was his alpha tendency an excuse for his "I know best" attitude? Then he seduces her while he still doesn't trust her and she lets him!! At that point the story held no credibility for me. I liked and trusted her and I felt let down! If one of my friends behaved this way and consented to behaviors like these, I would do my best to discourage, dissuade and finally kidnap her if nothing else worked. The author tries to tie it up at the end but the HEA can't possibly take away the sense of a story that just doesn't work despite having a lot of the necessary parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars strong erotica July 31, 2012

By Harriet Klausner #1 HALL OF FAME

Format:Paperback

Two months ago Catherine Michaels' fiftyish parents died in a horrible car crash. Now family friend Dr. Cabel informs a grieving Catherine that she was adopted. She and her BFF Mary go through documents until they find a letter from Catherine's biological mother thanking the Michaels. Catherine also learns from that note that she has an older sister Gracie Baron in Zanesville, Ohio.

Six weeks and several emails later, a scared Catherine visits Gracie (see So Sensitive). The latter introduces her visiting sister to her fiancé Wade Harrison and his younger brother Dean who accepts she is a lost sister of Gracie but also thinks Catherine is a con artist, which upsets him because he is attracted to her. Soon afterward Wade's twin sister Deanna and her boyfriend Jonas (see Pleasure Bound) arrive. Dean and Catherine cannot resist their need so begin a boudoir BDSM tryst, but he remains wary about her motive for coming to Ohio.

The sisters' subplot enhances a strong erotica as Dean and Catherine fall in love, but he still looks for her angle while she has doubts about relationships after feeling her late parents failed to tell her the truth. Fast-paced, fans will relish returning to Zanesville, Ohio, the BDSM capital of the world.
