About the author

Though lacking much authentic Welsh blood, Kim Lawrence comes from English-Irish stock. She was born and brought up in North Wales. She returned there when she married, and her sons were both born on Anglesey, an island off the coast. Though not isolated, Anglesey is a little off the beaten track, but lively Dublin, which Kim loves, is only a short ferry ride away. Today they live on the farm her husband was brought up on. Welsh is the first language of many people in this area and Kim's husband and sons are all bilingual she is having a lot of fun, not to mention a few headaches, trying to learn the language! She is a keen gardener and cook and enjoys running often on the beach, as living on an island the sea is never very far away. She is usually accompanied by her Jack Russell, Sprout don't ask, it's long story!

With small children, the unsocial hours of nursing didn't look attractive so encouraged by a husband who thinks she can do anything she sets her mind to, Kim tried her hand at writing. Always a keen Mills & Boon reader, it seemed natural for her to write a romance novel. In 1995, she published her first novels and now she can't imagine doing anything else.

Didn't like any of the stories

[Susanna Moss · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Italian’s Ruthless Marriage Bargain - enjoyed it.

The Billionaire’s Blackmail Bargain - not sure how I feel about this one.

The Timber Baron’s Virgin Bride - honestly, I grew beyond tired of "hearing about" Kinzi. TIRED. Could've done without all the over-the-top insecurities, theatrics, self-loathing and jealousy from Rachel. The only excusable emotions I felt were valid or realistic were her thoughts on not being able to get pregnant. Overall, unnecessarily long-winded. And, little too PG-13. The author went waaaaayyyy overboard with this one. Honestly, who would rather admit to infidelity before saying they're unable to have children? For all her academic accomplishments, Rachel's character is a lot less intelligent than she aught to be. At least one thumb DOWN.

Jonas Berkeley’s Defiant Wife - from the beginning, I could see this would be good. 200+ pages isn't enough. Should've been a full-size book instead. Would've loved to see an epilogue. Two thumbs UP!

Two out of four, not so bad, I guess.

With the exception of Jonas Berkeley’s Defiant Wife, I do wish there were dashes or asterisks to separate sections/scenes within a chapter.
