About the author
Beverly Barton
298 books711 followersBeverly Marie Inman was born on 23 December 1946 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA. Daughter of Doris Marie and Walter D. Inman Jr. A born romantic, she fell in love with The Beauty and the Beast epic at an early age, when her grandfather bought her an illustrated copy of the famous fairy tale. Even before she learned to read and write, her vivid imagination created magical words and fabulous characters inside her mind. Movies fascinated her, and by the time she was seven she was rewriting the movies she saw on television and at the local theater to give them all happy endings. By the age of nine she'd penned her first novel. She wrote short stories, TV scripts, poetry, and novels throughout high school and into college.
After her marriage to Billy Ray Beaver, the "love of her life", and the births of her two children, Beverly continued to be a voracious reader and a devoted moviegoer, but she put her writing aspirations on hold until her children were teenagers. At every age of their lives, from infancy to adulthood, the children had been a true joy to her. She devoted herself to her husband and children and considered herself one of the many selfless "supermoms" who put their family's needs first. She believed she had had it all, just not all at the same time.
In her mid-30s, Beverly returned to her former passion — writing — as a hobby, but before 40, she decided that she wanted to make writing a full-time career. And when she rediscovered an old dream — of becoming a published writer — no one was more supportive of her aspirations than her family. Her children were her greatest cheerleaders and her husband was her biggest supporter. After writing over 40 books and receiving numerous awards and nominations, as well as having books on the USA Today list and consistently on the Waldenbooks bestseller list, her career was indeed a dream come true. Having a fantastic family and fabulous friends, as well as making a living doing the one thing she had loved doing since childhood, she considered herself truly blessed. Beverly died suddenly of heart failure on 21 April 2011.

Szczerze? Nie mogę dać jedynki, bo to było dziesięć razy lepsze niż ten mój poprzedni, nieszczęsny harlekin. Powiem więcej - to był dokładnie taki harlekin, jakiego chciałam! A oczekiwania miałam dość wygórowane, jako że przez ostatnie dwa tygodnie przez godzinę dziennie zaznajamiałam się z genialną meksykańską telenowelą pt. "Bezduszna" (polecam, scena po napisach sugeruje, że będzie sezon drugi, chociaż pewnie to tylko podpucha...).
Po pierwsze - milioner i miliarderka, bo po co się ograniczać w kwestiach finansowych.
Po drugie - zakazany nastoletni romans i bad boy, który ląduje w poprawczaku za kradzież auta. Ech, we all love a bad boy, don't we?
Po trzecie - morderstwo! Bo czym jest porządny harlekin bez dramatu? (Aczkolwiek brak sceny seksu po pogrzebie mocno mnie zawiódł...)
Po czwarte - w tej książce padł najwspanialszy tekst, jaki kiedykolwiek przeczytałam!
Po piąte - ta książka jest napisana dokładnie tak jak fanfiki, które pisałam na etapie gimnazjum, więc choćby przez czystą nostalgię muszę ją docenić. Tutaj wszystko jest JAKIEŚ! Poduszki są ozdobne, fotele aksamitne, kołdry puchowe, pościel wytworna... Mnie też się kiedyś wydawało, że każdy duperel trzeba opisać minimum czterema przymiotnikami i to takimi, które brzmią bogato. Boże, miałam taką szansę na to, żeby zostać autorką harlekinów i co... I dupa.
Po szóste - ona nazywa go głupkiem. No cóż...
Nie chce mi się wyliczać dalej, ale sześć powodów chyba wystarczy, to już w szkolnej skali szóstka, wyżej się nie da. Nie dziwię się, że ten egzemplarz jest taki zaczytany, że rozpadał mi się w rękach.

It took a while for me to get into the book due to the slow beginning. Far fetched at times, but for silhouette books it was right along the same lines as the other books published. The ending, was different. I don't think I liked it. It just seemed like it wrapped up in a tidy little bow and everything was just fine. The end. Could have drug out the ending a little more to round it out. Otherwise once you got into the book it was a cute quick read.
