More About the Author

I'm the not-so-evil twin of Norma Beishir. You won't find any profanity or a lot of hot sex in my novels. I'm a good girl. I have to be. That other one has a real talent for getting herself into trouble.

Somebody's gotta be the voice of reason.

I was born on a dare. Some editor planted the seed in Norma's head to write "nice" books, and so, with an off-the-formula idea that became MS. MAXWELL & SON, I was on my way to writing nine romantic comedies.

I haven't done anything in a while, but I'd sure like to. Maybe one of the ideas that have been rambling around in my head for some time will finally find its way to the printed page.

Who knows?

This review is from: Something Old (Silhouette Romance, No. 941) (Paperback)

I was surfing through the out of print books and came across a gem of a book! SOMETHING OLD by Toni Collins, is a wonderful, funny story. Gabby Thorne is twenty nine years old and dispairs of finding love. Oh, she has had her share of crushes but has never been "in love". She wants to be committed body and soul to someone. Enter Adrian Lacross. He is the new owner and publisher of the International Intruder and is also, her boss. But Adrian Lacross is no normal man. He is a vampire. In the twelveth century he was a prince who had willingly given up any and all ties to the mortal world in his quest for immortality. Now centuries later, he finally realizes the terrible price has been forced to pay. He has been alone for endless centuries. So very alone until he sees Gabby. There is something about her that enchants him. That draws him. . . But Gabby is no ordinary woman. Her Grandfather is a vampire hunter who has hunted Adrian in the past. He has raised his grandchildren with the belief that there are vampires walking the night. Gabby notices right away how different her boss is. For one, no one has seen him or even his picture before. One fateful night Gabby stays late at work and discovers, to her shock, that the glass covering his desk reflects no image. Gabby confronts Adrian and discovers his dark secret. He is a vampire! Even knowing that he is one of the undead, she begins to fall in love with his warmth and gentleness. He in return, falls deeply in love. All the while knowing that their worlds are so very far apart . . . How can they possibly have any relationship with him a vampire and her a mortal? Will her Grandfather give his consent or will he do everything in his power to destroy their love? Toss in an evil villain, an overprotective Grandpa along with a sweet love story and you have a gem of a book. SOMETHING OLD made me laugh and filled me with a warmth that lasted the entire day. What a sweet story!!!!!
