More About the Author

Since the day Harlequin bought her first novel, Kathleen has published more than 30 titles with them- everything from hot, sexy contemporaries to dark, brooding suspense. Read in more than 30 countries and 29 languages, she's a five-time finalist for the prestigious RWA RITA Award, a winner of the Maggie Award, and a three-time finalist for Romantic Times' Reviewer's Choice.

Kathleen comes from a family of writers, poets, and journalists- though she may be the one shameless romantic in the bunch. A true Cancer, she values home and family above everything and wouldn't dream of ditching a single friend, memory, gift, or love letter. Consequently, her office is a mess, full of books, colored cut glass, photo albums, Madame Alexander dolls, and a cockatiel who whistles the theme from "The X Files." She is addicted to Mozart and Elvis, Dancing With the Stars, Dorothy Dunnett novels, and sugar-free Popsicles.

Molly Lorring, Beaumont Forrest and his brother Jackson all grew up together in a small town called Demery, South Carolina. As they grew up though Molly and Beau became romantically involved while Molly and Jackson remained friends.

The night of Molly's senior prom changes everything though. Beau had been pressuring her, but she did not want to give in to him. Beau is mad, leaves her and she comes back and makes love to whom she thinks is Beau. Beau comes back later and is drunk, so Jackson gets in the car with him and Beau drives into a tree and dies.

10 years later Molly and her daughter Liza return to Demery because Molly was hired by Beau and Jacksons Aunt to help landscape the house they live in.

While in Demery Molly starts to have feeling for Jackson, but he cannot forgive himself for lying to her the night they concieved Liza. There is also the curious situation of a little boy named Tommy.

Tommy is a school mate of Liza's who becomes her friend, he looks a lot like a young version of Beau and Jackson and Jackson spends a considerable amount of time with both him and his mother. This leads Molly to think that Jackson is the boys father.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good storyline, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Real Father (Twins) (Harlequin Superromance No. 927) (Paperback)

The basis for the plot of the Real Father is a great idea. However, there were really no surprises. The whole story is spelled out on the back cover of the book, so we as readers know what will happen but the main characters have to wait to find out until the very last pages. The whole book is dragged out. Jackson alludes to knowing many secrets that would explain why he disliked his now dead twin brother, Beau, and a secondary character, Coach, but he never spells out these secret; so the reader is left with an unsatisfied feeling upon the completion of this book.
