Her Man

by Amanda M. Holt

When the health of Sara's beloved Aunt Caroline takes a turn for the worst, the Ceo of a Silcon Valley graphics software firm finds herself on an airplane headed for Vancouver. A fellow passenger with a fear of flying and a quirky sense of humor manages to make the trip a little more bearable. At this very difficult time, Brian's charm and witticism are a great comfort to Sara. They exchange phone numbers and empassioned glances. . . Sara finds herself intrigued. Brian has awakened something in her, something nameless and feminine and pleasantly distracting. Will she meet up with this charming stranger again? The beauty of British Columbia is the backdrop for this contemporary modern romance that celebrates family bonding, mourns the loss of a loved one and reveals the hidden but undeiable potential of a single chance encounter between two adults who find each other irresistible. . .

About the author

Born in British Columbia, Canada in 1979, raised in Manitoba, Amanda Mary-Margaret Holt is the oldest of four children. She began writing at an early age, stories that always seemed to be of one paranormal genre or another. Sometimes these stories thrilled her teachers and parents...other times, they served only to horrify.

With no formal post-secondary training in English or literature studies, Amanda credits various teachers (Mr. Elliott and Mr. Ortwein, for example), her family, and her dear friend Ms. T with fostering her growth and development as an author.

Amanda worked a variety of jobs as a younger adult: she was a graphic artist, a bartender, an electrician's apprentice, a security guard, a graphic artist, a waitress, an adult novelty clerk, and at one point, even an Electrolux sales person. She recieved her Computer Programmer/Analyst diploma in 2003 and is now pursuing Bachelor of Nursing studies at the fourth-year level.

While dark fantasy is her favourite genre to write in, she has tried her hand at both mainstream erotica and contemporary romance and enjoyed those as well. So long as her heroine is a woman who is brave enough to face her darkest fears and bold enough to realize her innermost fantasies, therein lies a tale that Miss Holt aspires to tell.

I just downloaded this book last night for free on a promotion on Kindle and am so far (approx 140 pages in) impressed by the quality of this author's writing. It's promising to be a feel-good romance even with a sick aunt in the story-line. The aunt is fiesty putting a good face on for her family, who seem to be treating her with kid gloves. Sara, the main character, seems like a woman who likes to be in control and in charge of her life. Brian, the hero of the story, seems like a guy who doesn't mind shedding a little control...I expect some hot steamy love scenes. The only thing that I've noticed is Ms. Holt isn't using a lot of tension to bring her characters together. They seem to be having a very naturally occuring, very authentic modern romance, I'm looking forward to reading the rest on my Kindle - early holiday gift to myself!
