249 books71 followersJudy Russell Christenberry was born in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she raised in a family of four children with a stay-at-home mom who was a terrific cook and an excellent teacher, where family tradition was concerned. As a child, Judy was surrounded by animals. Her father raised a few head of cattle to keep meat on the table. At one time or another, there were sheep, Thanksgiving turkeys, ducks and dogs, and there were always chickens.
Judy learned the importance of family at an early age. But, Judith's marriage ended in divorce. Yet, with support from her mother and siblings, she and her two daughters discovered their own definition of family. The family comes in all shapes and flavors. What's important isn't the two parents and the 2.5 children, it's love and support. She raised her children, taught during the day, wrote at night, and pursued her dream.
Judy, hasn't always been a writer, but she's always been a dreamer. As a child, for entertainment while doing chores, she told herself stories-she was always the heroine. However, she didn't start writing until she turned thirty-eight, just one year after her father's unexpected death. After this, she realized life promised no guarantees about how much time you have. Why wait to pursue your dreams? She had begun reading Harlequin Romance novels about ten years earlier, so romance writing came naturally. She signs her novels as Judy Christenberry, Judith Christenberry and Judith Stafford.
Over time, Judy realized two central themes dominating her writing: family and small town/country life. Many of her books have cowboy heroes, partly because she read all Zane Grey's romantic versions of the Old West as a teenager, and partly because her parents grew up on farms. The last element that frequently appears in Judy's stories is a dash of humor, just enough to bring a smile to your face. She believes laughter is good medicine and it definitely makes a six-foot hunk even more attractive!
Now, with her daughters pursuing their own dreams, Judy writes full-time and is wrapped up in her storytelling. She lives each new adventure with the vigor of a young girl, still dreaming up tales while washing dishes. She hopes to entertain her readers as much as she entertains herself!

Read the entire book in about 3.5 hours. Started out pretty hokey with our heroine trying to find a seedy motel in LA and having a stranger hop in her car to evade gunfire from interrupting a drug deal, and having them continue to get shot at as they then have a car chase. They never stay put long as they look... starts in Los Angeles, then Vegas, back to L.A., onto Hawaii, off to Bora Bora then back to Houston. Kinda hard to believe the hero is so jaded about love and life, not to mention so snobbish not to know what the inside of a Target store looked like, only having shopped on Rodeo Drive, etc. The plot wasn't bad, just seemed unrealistic. I enjoyed reading it, but it seemed rather silly at times so don't think I'd recommend it either.

A nice light read that made me laugh, didn't take long to finish and was a good distraction from the not-so-good way I was feeling.

I truly enjoyed this book. Ms. Christenberry made Nick the cynical CEO who doesn't believe in love and Julie the sweet grade school teacher still searching for her one and only. I really liked the way Julie made Nick reevaluate his life's path and the choices he's made.
A very good read. Lovely sweet romance .

Passion hawaienne - my book is the French translation of Honeymoon Hunt.
A cute romance. Predictable but fun.
