About the author

Jenny Haddon was born in London, England, where she always returns after the travels that she loves. When she was small, her mother couldn't bear reading aloud, so her mother taught her to read at an appallingly precocious age. She wrote her first book with her own illustrations at the age of four but was in her 20s before she produced her first romance as Sophie Weston.

She studied English Language and Literature at university. Choosing a career was a major problem. It was not so much that she didn't know what she wanted to do, as that she wanted to do everything. So she filed and photocopied and experimented. She worked as consultant at the Bank of England and all the time she drew on her experiences to create her Mills & Boon books. She edited press releases for a Latin American embassy in London (The Latin Afffair); lectured in the Arabian Gulf (The Sheikh's Bride); waitressed in Paris (Midnight Wedding); and made herself hated by getting under people's feet asking stupid questions under the grand title of consultant all over the world (The Millionaire's Daughter). She also is an active member of the UK's Romantic Novelists' Association's Committee, and was its twenty-three Chairman (2005-2007).

Jenny has one house, three cats, and about a million books. She writes compulsively, Scottish dances poorly, grows more plants than she has room for, and makes a mean meringue.

Reviews

[More Books Than Time · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emotionally intensity peaks and flows, giving us time to enjoy the characters, including some well-done minor characters. No one here is a cardboard cutout. Author tosses in some setting and plot to round off a worth-reading story.

Reread. SW has become one of my top 2 or 3 authors. She does a wonderful job building emotions and pace and plot and characters’ story. The plot here is somewhat similar to Innocent and the Playboy with a young girl having an intense encounter with man about 8 years older who meet 9 years later but flows completely differently and feels fresh, even though I read them back to back.
