More About the Author

Katherine Garbera is the national best-selling author of more than 50 books. Writing is the chief focus of her time after her family and the only thing she likes more than working on her own books is reading other authors. She is a frequent speaker at conferences and loves the opportunity to talk about writing with anyone who'll listen.

Garbera started making up stories for her own benefit when she was on a competitive swim team in high school. Though she went to State and usually medaled at swim meets, Katherine says her heart wasn't in swimming but rather in the stories she created as she swam laps at practice.

She worked for The Walt Disney World Company for 15 years and did everything from being a hostess on It's a Small World, to saving swimmers at the Grand Floridian Resort, to touring around VIPs such as Jack Valenti at the Disney-MGM Studios and being a production page on the New Mickey Mouse Club--yes, it might be possible that Britney, Justine and Christina owe her a nod of thanks for keeping all those kids who had to go to the bathroom from interrupting their performances.

Her books have been featured in magazines such as REDBOOK (11/98)and have even been featured on the large JumboTron in Times Square, and excerpted in COSMO (7/10)

This review is from: The Tycoon's Lady (The Baby Bank) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

This is probably the second in a group of Corporate Spouses, a business run by Angelica Leone for hard driving corporate executives.

Paul Sterling, unmarried of course, is bidding on Corporate Spouses, Silver Bells Package, "which includes domestic management of your house and a partner at three corporate functions". As luck would have it "Angel" falls into Paul's arms before her presentation at the auction. Whoops, what an introduction!

Now we run into the fun of instant attraction - denied emotions - and an arrangement that will not stay business like.

Paul cannot seem to handle any close emotions and his excuse seems a little far-fetched to me. But it gives the story basis.

Chuckle, chuckle, here we go again - hoping into bed but still refusing to make a commitment - ah well, poor misguided dumbbells! But that seems to make characters more real.

A good read [grin] a good author -- a light story. Form your own opinion.

This review is from: The Tycoon's Lady (The Baby Bank) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

But it could have gotten to the point sooner. I felt that it kind of dragged. I loved the story line because it was a new and inventive idea of being a temporary corporate wife. This is my first time reading her work. I would read something of her's again if there was no other book I wanted to read.
