More About the Author

I grew up on a ranch in the California mountains, listening to the tales my grandfather told of his pioneer ancestors. The stories were filled with drama and romance and adventure, and I guess some of that must have rubbed off on me. Add to that a love of books that I seem to have been born with, and it was only natural that I become a writer one day. If you'd like to read more about me, I invite you to visit my website, and then e-mail me to tell me what you think. I look forward to meeting you!

This review is from: One Summer's Knight (The Sisters Waskowitz) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, 944) (Paperback)

In ONE SUMMER'S KNIGHT, Kathleen Creighton proves what an extraordinarily talented writer can do with a popular plot device. Summer Waskowitz, a single mother with two children, finds her life in danger when both the mob and the FBI think she can lead them to her gambling-addicted ex-husband. She hires the best lawyer she can find to help protect her rights, and her children, only to find herself suddenly in his protective custody when their trailer home is torched. Rich, cultured, controlled, Riley Grogan seems to the financially-strapped, emotionally-battered Summer like the prince in Cinderella. Except Summer realizes this is one fairy tale that can't have a happy ending: Riley clearly isn't comfortable around children, or the veterinarian's collection of eccentric -- and vociferous! -- pets. What she doesn't fully understand is that Riley needs her healing magic, for a heart scarred and hardened by an unkind past.

Creighton's strong, compelling voice -- her affinity for the South is so strong, you can feel the humidity as you read -- takes this far beyond a "typical" category romance read. The scenes with the children, and the pets, are not only "oh-yeah" realistic, but laugh-out-loud funny; her prose is rich and distinctive; and the emotional tension between the hero and heroine simply vibrates from the page. Wonderful characters, a wonderful read.
