Book Description

January 7, 2002
Rustic Colorado is hardly Claire Brown's idea of a primo vacation spot, but the week-long getaway at romantic mountain lodge promises to heal a rift with her increasingly detached fiance. Armed with her trusty laptop and constantly ringing cell phone, Claire can't help sensing, though, that her fiance might not be as committed to their relationship as she is. The dead giveaway: he's brought another woman along of their romantic holiday...

As proprietor of Hunter's Lodge, John McBride is duty-bound to find suitable accomodation under his sold-out roof for the cell-phone addicted, just-jilted guest. as a red-blooded man whose pet peeve is a workaholic woman, he's determined to steer clear of the suddenly single dynamo who just checked in for the next nine days. But the annoying, yet very alluring, Claire has a way of popping up when he least expects it--and as John soon discovers, so does true love...

Review

"Sassy and sexy with a touch of suspnse! Beverly Brandt makes sparks fly in True North."--Julie Ortolon, bestselling author of Dear Cupid

About the Author

After spending a decade as a financial analyst in the insurance business, Beverly Brandt decided that hearing characters and seeing stories in her head was not a condition brought about by job-related stress but was, instead, the indicator of her own true north. That revelation spurred her to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a published author; a dream which was realized less than a year after she completed her first book.

Beverly lives near Seattle with a husband who adores her and a cat who adores its food dish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, February 16, 2002

This review is from: True North (Mass Market Paperback)
Poor Claire's vacation sounds like some of mine. First she shows up at the mountain resort, luxury suite she had gotten her fiance for his birthday and he's sharing it with another woman! He tells her it was a birtday gift so he figured he could take whoever he wanted. She insists on staying, much to the owner's dismay, even though there are no vacant rooms. She ends up on a cot in a storage room above the garage and has to use the staff bathroom. All her luggage was somehow rerouted to a foreign country and she's forced to use clothes from the lost and found.

This book was hysterical and the story of two complete opposites trying to fight their attraction just adds to the fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful omance, December 18, 2001
This review is from: True North (Mass Market Paperback)
Insurance workaholic Claire Brown hopes the vacation with her fiancé Bryan Edwards in Aspen helps bring them together and end their drifting apart. That is why she spent the money on first class tickets from Seattle for his birthday, but at the gate Claire learns her travel agency canceled her ticket. After obtaining a last second economy ticket, Claire suffers through a horrendous flight due to the unchaperoned three-year-old aisle mate. However, Claire receives the ultimate kick in the pants when she finds Bryan comfortably snug in their room at the lodge with another woman.

Rather than leave for the coast, an angry, abashed Claire demands a room and lodge owner John McBride reluctantly complies. John loathes the type of career woman Claire is and detests her uncouth actions towards Bryan and his new woman yet he cannot stop his attraction to her. As John and Claire fall in love over her nine days in Colorado, someone wants her dead. Armed with a cell phone and John, Claire hopes to live long enough to enjoy her vacation.

This novel is a humorous contemporary romance starring two wonderful lead characters. The story line is superb when it stays TRUE NORTH as a romantic romp. When the tale veers west into suspense, the plot loses some of its focus. Still Beverly Brandt provides readers with an amusing look at love and the career woman that fans of modern day tales will enjoy.
