More About the Author

I wrote my first story -- a tragic romance about two star-crossed Mallard ducks -- as a second grade writing assignment. The paper earned a gold star. And I kept writing.

I've since written around a hundred novels and have been published in twenty-six countries. Two of my titles have been excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine and my books have also been published by the Doubleday, Rhapsody, Mystery Guild, and Literary Guild bookclubs. As a New York Times, U.S. Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller, I'm also a member of the Romance Writers of America's Honor Roll of best-selling authors.

I'm currently writing my Shelter Bay series, set on the magnificent Oregon coast where, when I was eighteen-years-old, my high school sweetheart bought me a bag of taffy, then proposed. The smartest thing I ever did was say yes!

My husband and I live in our beloved Pacific Northwest, with three rescued dogs who pretty much rule the house. (And, in case you're wondering, that taffy store is still there! )

This review is from: Untamed (The Men Of Whiskey River) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

"Untamed" (Harlequin-Temptation) is actually book 3 in a saga about people who are drawn to an Arizona town called Whiskey River. There are actually 5 books in this saga. The first one helps set the scene and is called "Confessions" through Mira Publishers. The second one is part of the "Rogues" collection called "The Outlaw" (Harlequin-Temptation) which centers around the story of Noel, a princess. The rest of her story is in "Untamed." The 4th and 5th books(published by Harlequin-Temptation)are "Wanted" and "Ambushed." All the main characters are intertwined in each other's lives so it would be good to have the whole saga (but, they can be read separately). I bought "Ambushed" at a library sale then researched to find out about the rest of the characters. The last 4 books are great, quick rainy day reading and thoroughly enjoyable. "Confessions" is a longer story but is a great read, also. P.S. The last 4 books deal with ESP, time travel and magic so be forewarned if you don't like to read about such things.

This review is from: Untamed (The Men Of Whiskey River) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Tara Delany have a secret and Gavin Thomas must find out what it is before he seduce her. This is my first Ross book that I've read and I really like it. The characters and the story line are very believable.
