About the author

Lyn grew up loving books. Her favorite night of the week was Friday night, when the Bookmobile came to her neighborhood in Illinois. She’d spend those two hours chatting with the driver of the Bookmobile and the librarian and making the big decision of the week — which books to check out! In those distant days, children were limited in how many books they could check out. Lyn could only take home six a week — and there were so many to choose from. Her favorites were Cotton in my Sack by Lois Lenski, The Little House series and the One of a Kind Family series. Later, she discovered Georgette Heyer’s Regency romances!
This love of books led to a desire to write. Lyn won prizes in high school and college for her poetry and, not surprisingly, Lyn became a history and English teacher. When she became a mother, she gave up teaching, and while raising a son and a daughter, she began working on her first novel. Then she wrote her second and third. Long years of rejection followed — as it does for most writers. Finally in 1997, Lyn got "the call." Her first book, Never Alone, was chosen to appear in the first year of the new Love Inspired line. Lyn has written many articles on writing and the emerging Christian Booksellers Assoc. (CBA) fiction market. In 2006, Lyn's book, Chloe, is a finalist for the RWA's RITA, the highest award in the romance genre in the inspirational category.
Now, Lyn spends her days writing books that show the power of divine as well as human love. Her nest is empty and she and her real life hero, her husband, have more and more time to spend together in their home on a lake in the lovely northwoods. And books are still dear to her heart.

[Pam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice Christian romance. Our hero, Marco Da Palma, has this big chip on his shoulder. He doesn't think that he is as good as everyone else-- at least he thinks that everyone looks down on him because he was a scholarship student. He doesn't want to accept help from anyone. Spring has had a crush on Marco since he saved her from rape at college.

Spring comes to Florida to help her great- aunt pick an assisted living apartment but ends up trying to give Marco a social life. she teaches him to golf and browbeats him into taking his first vacation, a cruise with their college alumni group. Once on the trip, Spring helps him get financing for the free clinic Marco wants to start.

But Marco thinks that Spring goes too far when she convinces the Garden Club to have a silent auction to benefit the free clinic. Suddenly, Marco doesn't have to sacrifice his whole life to get the clinic up and running. And that goes against the life he vowed to have when his father died in front of him (when Marco was a teenager). Will they be able to make a life together?

This book was okay, but the hero had an attitude and a chip on his shoulder that annoyed me.

Such a good story line and good lesson in judging people and being hard on yourself. It kept me wanting to read more!
