Laurie Campbell (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: October 1, 2004

HE WANTED A SECOND CHANCE

Rafe Montoya had known his wife, Beth, was unhappy. She wanted him home earlier, wanted a baby, wanted more of himself than he could give. He thought that being her knight in shining armor would be enough. But then a tragic accident claimed Beth's life, and left her twin sister, Anne, injured—and he had run out of time. All he could do was help Anne recover her strength and her memory—it was what Beth would have wanted.

Yet when Rafe looked in Anne's eyes, for a fleeting minute, he had the feeling it was Beth's eyes looking back at him. His Beth, ready and waiting to give him a second chance. But that was impossible…wasn't it?

More About the Author

Laurie Schnebly Campbell grew up in a family that discussed psychology around the dinner table, so her favorite part of writing fiction is creating characters with likable, plausible personalities.

After six novels, including one that beat out Nora Roberts for "Best Special Edition of the Year," she began sharing her techniques with other writers -- and fell in love with teaching, both online and in person. In fact, she chose her website name so that groups would find it easy to Book Laurie (dot com) for workshops.

Laurie spends her weekdays writing for a Phoenix advertising agency. She also enjoys playing with her husband and son, recording for the blind at Talking Books, vacationing in Sedona, the Arizona red-rock town named for her great-grandmother, and working with other writers.

"People ask how I find time to do all that," she says, "and I tell them it's easy. I never clean my house!"

5.0 out of 5 stars A ROMANCE WORTH READING!, January 13, 2005

By

This review is from: Wrong Twin, Right Man (Silhouette Special Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

We meet a pair of twins: Anne Farrell and Beth Montoya.
Anne is independent and a bit of a swinger. And single.
Beth Montoya is married, to Rafe and a homemaker and nurturer.

Rafe Montoya is a lawyer trying to help kids get out of the gang cults. He has had a hard life getting himself out of a gang when he was younger. And most everyone he has known or loved has left him. He does not let himself "need" anyone.
Not even his wife whom he loves.

When his wife and sister-in-law are homeward bound from California to Arizona there is a train derailment. He is told that his wife, Beth did not make it. Jake Roth pulled Anne out of the wreck. Rafe is determined to take care of Anne as he knew Beth would want him to.

Therein lies a wonderful story of shared grief, found love and emotional growth. Rafe has to take care of everyone, therein lies his survival. And the possible breakup of his marriage.

Beth was a doll designer for Downs-syndrome girls. Anne operated the business for Beth out of Chicago. And was acqainted with Jake Roth. Anne seemed to know that Beth had problems of dependancy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - great characters - emotional upheaval and growth.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, December 24, 2004

This review is from: Wrong Twin, Right Man (Silhouette Special Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

Laurie Campbell has mastered the concept of writing an excellent book around a delicate subject. One of my biggest peeves is reading a story and not being able to believe in the characters. NOT the case with this book. Laurie makes her concepts believable and her characters sympathetic. For instance: What would any of us do if we suddenly found ourselves in the place of our twin sister? Moreover, what if we really believed that we were that twin? Without being a spoiler, I will say that identity loss is not the only issue in this book. You'll just have to read it to get the rest of the story. Laurie has penned another winner.

This romance also has a good story. The majority of romances, I find, do not.
Ms. Campbell is a gifted writer. Enjoyed this one! Sit in comfy chair with hot coffee and read about Beth and her sister.

Oh, no! A train wreck? Beth and her sister are on board? Who survives?
