From a very young age, Kathryn showed an aptitude for telling stories. Of course her mother called her a pathological liar, but she prefers to think back on those days as an apprenticeship for her future craft. Like most authors, she didn't start out as a writer, but rather as a reader. Her passion for romance novels began in her late teens and left her with an itch to discover the world.
After living in places as culturally diverse as Athens, Greece and Cairo, Egypt (where she met and married her own romantic hero) they returned to the states and settled in the quiet town of Sterling Forest, New York. After the birth of her daughter, Kat's husband suggested she take up writing as a hobby to fill her days. The hobby became a love, and the love an obsession. (Sometimes her husband is sorry he ever made that suggestion.)
She learned how to write from the best--the authors who penned the books she spent countless hours reading. Although her writing allows her mind to soar in clouds, she has a daughter who keep her feet firmly planted on the ground. She signs her novels as Kathryn Taylor, Kathryn Attalla, Kathy Attalla and Kat Attalla.
I had this book sitting on my kindle for many years and I am so glad I got around to reading it! The ending needed a bit of work, but all in all a good read.
A fast-paced suspense thriller that grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Lilly and Jack both have a strong chemistry bringing depth to their story. The humour throughout the book was great too. And finally a surprising twist as expected in stories such as these. Highly recommended.
Overall it was a great well rounded novel which I enjoyed immensely. I loved the characters and the fact that no matter what the hero and heroine didn't give up on each other. We got a HEA and it was kind of romantic. lol
