More About the Author

In my previous life, I was a lawyer specializing in family law, especially divorces. Now I have a much happier job--writing about the beginnings of love affairs rather than helping end them. I live in Ohio with my family and two oversized cats. I love to hear from readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explosive Secrets and Love, October 14, 2008

Ann Christopher introduces readers to Viveca Jackson, a reporter for the New York Times. Viveca has decided to take a six-month sabbatical to write the story of the century. She has been commissioned to write the biography of one of the country's most successful families - The Warners. Reynolds Warners built his company from very humble beginnings to a million dollar business. It has been twenty years since his death and Viveca is on a mission to reveal all of their darkest secrets - until she meets Andrew Warner.

Andrew is the current CEO and heir of the Warner Dynasty. He is upset that his mother, Arnetta, has agreed to this tell-all novel. When he meets Viveca he figures he can woo her with his good looks and charm. Viveca proves that she is not one of his regular air-headed models that he is used to dating. Viveca is sexy, smart and she refuses to allow anyone to take advantage of her. Viveca has other reasons for wanting to write the book and she is determined to get it done. Andrew has his own reasons for not wanting the story told. After sharing a night of passion, they realize they shared the same desires and the same sexual appetite. It was their attraction that ultimately prevents them from getting what they want.

Tender Secrets is part romance and mystery. The reader is instantly captured in the secret lives of the Warner family as everyone tried to hide a secret that could destroy everything. Uncovering family secrets would also ease the heartache that Viveca has carried around with her for years. As the reader, I was easily captured in this story and eagerly turned each page as I tried to put the puzzle together. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a little mystery along with their romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must read!!!, August 13, 2009

OMG!!! I sent in a promo card to receive some free books within the Kimani Romance selections and this is one of the books that I received. I had no expectations about how good the book would be and this is my first read written by Ann Christopher. Hands down this was the best book I have ever read. I read it twice and this is the first time I've ever commented on book. Viveca & Andrew's relationship was presented the best I've ever seen.

Andrew Warner a smart, spoiled, arrogant, sexy, adventurous, & wounded man is just the perfect match for Viveca Jackson a strong, vivacious, smart, determined, & wounded woman. The fact that Andrew was more than persistent with Viveca and she needed so many confirmations from her lover the relationship was the most explosive I have ever experienced in all my reading. I found myself getting so involved in all the hidden skeletons and feeling all the emotions when the secrets were revealed. Mystery plus Romance is an awesome combination. This book is a definite winner in my opinion. If this type of writing is what I have to look forward to from Ann Christopher I will be an avid follower.
