About the author

285 books67 followersLINDA SOLE also writes under the names of Anne Herries, Emma Quincey, Lynn Granville and one as Juliana Linden.
Linda was born in Swindon. Her family moved to Ely in Cambridgeshire when she was nine, and Linda attended the local school but left at fifteen to work as a hairdresser in her father's business. She was married at eighteen and ran her own hairdressing business for some years before moving to Cambridge, although Linda has now moved to somewhere a bit quieter in Cambridgeshire. She started writing in 1976, combining this with helping her husband to run his antique shop.
Writing as Anne Herries, Linda won the 2004 RNA Romance Award and the Betty Neels Trophy. She lives in Cambridgeshire. After many happy years of taking their holidays in Spain she and her husband, now have a second home in Norfolk. Being only a short drive, they can visit for a few days at a time, which suits their busy lifestyle these days. They are only just across the road from the sea, and can see it from their windows. At home and at the sea they enjoy watching the wildlife and have many visitors to their gardens, particularly squirrels. Anne loves watching their antics and spoils both them and her birds shamelessly. She also loves to see the flocks of geese and other birds flying in over the sea during the autumn, to winter in the milder climes of this country. Anne loves to write about the beauty of nature and sometimes puts a little into her books, though they are mostly about love and romance. She writes for her own enjoyment and to give pleasure to her readers.

I read almost the third part of the book and I have found little to none of the so called rebellious stage. In fact I find Caroline really bland and is so stupid that almost every man in the Earth is attracted to her. This is boring.

Was promised a rebellious heroine but don't think I got what I had in mind. Found her to be rather bland and the romance to be dull.

«Non ho mai desiderato nessuna donna così intensamente, Caroline. Non so come ci siate riuscita, mia piccola strega, ma mi avete preso il cuore e ora io sono vostro.»
L'inizio prometteva bene, con divertenti e frizzanti schermaglie tra Caroline e Freddie (oddio che nome orribile! >.<) poi il ritmo è un po' calato, Caroline si butta a capofitto in ogni situazione scandalosa che trova e lui le da corda per impiccarsi XD La parte finale mi ha dato la sensazione di "minestra allungata" con ostacoli alquanto fittizi al matrimonio tra i due e un nemico a buffo XD L'autrice riesce ad accasare anche i parenti di Caroline, madre e fratello, tranne Nicolas che prometteva meglio di tutti, peccato!
