The Lady and the Tomcat

Max Dunne is a pirate...

And he's stolen Lindsey's young son's cat! But that isn't quite how Max sees the situation. He claims he found the odd-looking kitten abandoned in Key West, and after investing a small fortune to make "Bozo" his corporate logo, he's not about to just hand him over.

Unless Lindsey and her son, Todd, agree to become his instant family to help him woo a major client. If Lindsey doesn't agree, she'll break her son's heart, but is gaining custody of a cat any reason to marry?

About the author

Sally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English.

Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence.

She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.

[Margo · Rating 1 out of 5]

It's happened to all of us at some point: a friend meets a guy, falls in love, and marries him. She thinks he's funny, and loves his quirky style of dress, stubbornness, and outspoken ways. In reality, though, he's a loudmouthed, immature, emotionally arrested jackass, and although you try to make nice with him because you love your friend, eventually the friendship founders because her husband is just unbearable.

The H of this book is that guy.

Líbil se mi nápad i prostředí. Jediný co bych změnila je, že...občas mi přišlo že ten chlap hrdinku nějak moc vydíral.
