The broad-shouldered military man had no patience with games. Margie--Cabot?--had to go. She'd been masquerading as his spouse for nearly a year, living in his house while he'd been overseas. Now all his skills were focused on payback: it would be sweet, swift and sexy.

But first he'd have that "wedding night!"

More About the Author

USA Today best selling author Maureen Child is the author of more than ninety romance novels and novellas. Maureen is a five time nominee for the prestigious Rita award from Romance Writers of America.

One of her novels, A POCKETFUL OF PARADISE, was made into a CBS-TV movie called The Soul Collector, starring Melissa Gilbert, Bruce Greenwood and Ossie Davis.

Maureen was not only on the Texas set to watch her characters come to life in front of the cameras, she was also tossed into the last scene by her husband and the producer, who both thought this would be a fun way to humiliate an author!

When her kids were small, Maureen started writing as not only a way to stay sane, but in the hopes of finding a job she could do and stay at home with them. Sanity is still an issue, but she did manage to write her way into a career she wouldn't trade for anything.

Over the years, she's written under lots of different names and she prefers the term 'pseudonym' to 'alias'. As Ann Carberry, she wrote western historical romances. As Kathleen Kane, she wrote not only Americana romances, but western paranormal romances as well. As Sarah Hart, she wrote one really spectacular western paranormal that is still one of her favorites. And once, Ann Carberry even wrote a Victorian historical which she absolutely loved doing.

Under her own name, Maureen writes short contemporary novels for Silhouette Desire--books she loves to write because of their fast pace and condensed story telling. Maureen is also writing funny, contemporary paranormal romances for NAL and darker paranormal stories for Silhouette Nocturne.

Life is busy but when she isn't writing you can find Maureen sitting under her 'thinking tree', coming up with new ideas for even more stories. When she isn't dreaming up a new book or writing a current one, Maureen loves to travel. Her favorite vacation spot is Ireland, with Scotland coming in a very close second. She and her husband love a good road trip and Maureen's looking forward to the day when she can actually drive to Ireland. Talk about the best of both worlds!

Maureen lives with her family in Southern California and loves to hear from her readers. Visit her online at www.maureenchild.com.

This review is from: An Officer And A Millionaire (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)

An Officer and A Millionaire by Maureen Child is a Silhouette Desire January 2009 book. It is part of the Man of the Month series. I really enjoyed this book. It starts off with a bang, and ends on a sweet note!

This book is about Hunter Cabot, a Navy SEAL, who has finally come home after a two-year absence. He finds out when he gets to his hometown that he is married and has been married for a year to Margie Donohue. Hunter was married by proxy and his grandfather stood in for him. Hunter first meets his petite and curvy red-headed wife when she is taking a shower in his bathroom. Their first meeting is electric and sets a good introduction for things to come.

Margie and Hunter decide to stay married for a month and up until his grandfather's birthday party. They use this time to argue and bicker at each until they finally break down and get together one night. Margie and Hunter both know that at the end of the month they will both go their separate ways. Or maybe they won't. This is a really sweet story! 5 stars!

This review is from: An Officer and a Millionaire (Silhouette Desire) (Kindle Edition)

Not one military term, fact, or description is correct, starting with the cover where he is saluting with the wrong hand. Ranks are wrong, ages, terms like "enlistment" (officers don't have enlistments) and "retirement" ( he's too young). Attitudes and descriptions of why people join military are all wrong. I could write a book on everything that is wrong with this book including that he was the one who was wronged by his grandfather and her in so many ways. Unbelievable!
