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.

This review is from: A Self-Made Man: The Millionaires (Harlequin Superromance No. 967) (Paperback)

This is the first book I've read by Kathleen O'Brien. The story was pretty much predictable and not all that exciting. I found humor in one particular area when the author wrote the following lines: Her small blue makeup case was slung over her shoulder, and it bumped her rear end with each step, letting loose a musical tinkling of expensive bottles and bracelets. I'm trying to picture the small blue makeup case slung over a shoulder and bumping someone's rear end if the makeup case is small. If the makeup case reached her rear end, the woman is either very shortwaisted or the makeup case is long and skinny. I had to laugh. Overall, the book was well edited with no spelling errors. The characters, although pretty much the usual in this type of story, were well developed. My main problem with this story was the constant description of the clothing Lacy's stepdaughter, Gwen, was wearing. I thought the author got a little carried away on this. After the first few times, I had the general idea of what the girl's personality was like. Since this is my first book to read by this author, I'd probably read another one if I had it. The book is new out, being published in 2001. That's a plus in its favor as far as I'm concerned.
