More About the Author

I'm southern by adoption. I was born and raised in Upstate NY, but when the cold weather, snow and ice became more than either my hubby or I wanted to endure yearly, we migrated to Florida. We now live not far from one of the most fascinating cities in the US -- our adopted hometown of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the US. When my creative writing juices dry up, a trip to the the Ancient City section of St. Augustine never fails to get them flowing again.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst books I ever read, June 8, 2005

This review is from: The Pregnancy Clause (Harlequin American Romance, No. 827) (Paperback)

This book must have been designed to give series romances a bad reputation. The problem isn't so much in the plot, which is stereotyped but expectable, as in the author's sublime ability to ignore reality as far as the background situation goes. No, I'm not talking about the coincidence of the carved roses. I'm talking about the idea that a newly discovered codicil to a will, four and a half years after the completion of probate, could be enforced by a family lawyer without going back to court. I'm talking about the idea that if a farm is to go to a benevolent association of the heiress does not produce a child by her thirtieth birthday, that the same lawyer could sign it over to the association - then and there, with no further formalities - just because she tells him she isn't pregnant as of nine months before her thirtieth birthday.

Maybe the author never heard of premature children? At a minimum, given that she was married, she had two more months of being able to try to get pregnant before he could do anything irrevocable.

Most of the rest of the setting is equally bad.

The proper rating is not one star. The proper rating is Ugghhh!

Elizabeth Sinclair has a way of pulling at the heart strings. Jenny's Castle should be pronounced a classic, and the Pregnancy Clause follows its predecessors honorably! If you want to laugh, cry, fight, or travel into a blissful imaginary world, read Sinclair's books.

I enjoyed the storyline, although they tortured one topic even though it was out in the open early on. A delight to read!
