More About the Author

Stephanie Bond was several years into a corporate computer programming career when an instructor in her night school MBA program remarked that she had a flair for writing and encouraged her to submit one of her projects to academic journals. "But," Stephanie says, "all I could think was 'I wonder if I could write a romance novel?'" Bond grew up on a farm in eastern Kentucky where the entertainment choices were few. Luckily, she had a beloved aunt who shared her passion for reading. "When she visited once a year, she brought boxes and boxes of books by Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney and lush historicals--I was in heaven! I think I learned most of what I know about world history from historical romance novels. So suddenly thinking about writing in the genre of the books I loved so much was very exciting." After writing every spare moment for two years, Stephanie sold her first romantic comedy manuscript, IRRESISTIBLE? to Harlequin books. Two years later, she walked away from her corporate career to write commercial fiction full time. To date, she's published over 60 romance and mystery projects with various New York publishers, and is most well-known for her BODY MOVERS humorous mystery series. Stephanie lives in midtown Atlanta and is probably working on a new story at the very moment.

1.0 out of 5 stars dissapointed with this book, August 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Two Sexy! (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

after reading the other books in this new Blaze series i was bitterly dissapointed with this book, i had read the prequel of this story in midnight pleasures and that story dealt with the sister of the main character in this book, but this series promised us a more sensual and sexy stories, and they accomplished it with the other titles out this month , bu tis story was nice and ok but not at all hot or steamy. the story was to far fetched and it all happened in 1 day it was just to much to fast and not sexy at all, if your buy a book from this new series the best out this month are "notorius" by vickie lewis tompson and"going for it" from jo Leigh this are HOT and Steamy and worth the new title "blaze".

1.0 out of 5 stars Two Sexy? Not Sexy!, August 30, 2001

This review is from: Two Sexy! (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

Stephanie Bond is a talented writer who pens humorous romances. But boy does she strike out big time in "Two Sexy!" one of the first books in the new Harlequin Blaze series. Blaze books are supposed to be hotter than most Harlequins, with more sensuality and steamy scenes. The first Blaze, Vicki Lewis Thompson's "Notorious," lives up to the hype. "Two Sexy!" does not. Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this book any different than a regular Harlequin Temptation? There is very little chemistry between the hero and heroine and only one steamy scene. I'm sorry; one three-page sex scene does not make this book a "red-hot read." The characters barely spend any time together in this story, making it impossible to believe they were in love. I didn't even believe they were in lust; they showed so few sparks. The story moves very slow. The storyline explained on the back cover is almost a spoiler, since it takes so long for it to actually begin. Too much of it was familiar from other Bond books. A wimpy heroine with a boring boyfriend. The usual gay man hanging around to support the heroine, because gay men don't have anything better to do in most of Ms. Bond's books than be confidantes for straight women. Silly misunderstandings, one-dimensional secondary characters. The supporting characters here are particularly cartoonish, and I doubt the people of Peoria Illinois will enjoy knowing they live in such a backwater where witch hunts are still the norm.
One thing I enjoyed about some of Ms. Bond's other books is how she was able to use a short length format and write a story with much complexity and character development. Books like Irresistible? and Kids is a Four Letter Word were only 180 pages. They still took place over a good period of time and made it believable that the characters got to know each other and fell in love. This is the longest of her "short" books, and the most unconvincing. Isn't that ironic?
Ms. Bond has written some good books, particularly Irresistible?, Naughty or Nice, and Too Hot to Sleep. This is not one of them.
