About the author

71 books32 followersEver since I heard my first fairy tale, I've always believed in happily-ever-after and the power of love. In my opinion, there's nothing quite as heart-warming as the happy ending for a hero and heroine who overcome the odds. Sometimes love isn't easy, but then anything in life that is, well, it just isn't much fun, now is it?
Looking for challenges in my life has been part of that fun, too. I embraced my first challenge at the age of sixteen when I married my high school sweetheart. A whole lot of years later, I still fondly recall the first time I saw my own personal hero and knew, even at that tender age, that he was the one for me. With a history like that, what else could I write except Romances?
When I'm not working on my latest novel, I enjoy relaxing with a cross-stitch project or debating the pros and cons of a redecorating project. I'm also a big movie fan, especially romantic comedies. Oh, and we can't forget about the joys of gardening. If I'm not playing in the dirt or haven't escaped with my own personal hero to the movie theater, I can usually be found in the house, somewhere warm, curled up with a romance novel in my hands.
A few years ago, my family and I exchanged the sun and sand of my native Southern California for the clear blue skies and wide open spaces of the North Dakota prairie. Oh, did I mention the snow we got in the bargain, too? A whole lot of it?

Sydney Travers is an independent and successful veterinarian who wants a baby to make her life complete. She doesn't want or need a man around because they only cause her heartache so she decides to skip all that drama and go through with artificial insemination. After her procedure she is emotionally strung out and ends up in bed with her best friend Derek. They proceed to act out of character and have unprotected sex three times which, of course, sets up the conflict when Sydney becomes pregnant.
Before they became intimate Derek had been working up the nerve to tell Sydney that he was in love with her but held his tongue fearing he would lose her friendship. When her pregnancy is confirmed he doesn't care that the baby may not be his and proposes marriage. She cares though and flatly refuses. Derek, a scientist, then decides to "woo" her using a scientific approach that has some funny results.
During his "wooing" Derek proves to be a loving, patient and very persistent guy and I was rooting for him all the way. Sydney takes the "men are scum" bit too far, especially when it is revealed that they've been best friend's for twenty-two years but it was fun watching Derek attempt to win his woman.
I really enjoyed The Seduction of Sydney. It was entertaining, sexy and satisfying and because it was obvious that the couple enjoyed being together and had much more in common than a simple case of lust. And, best of all, it was exactly what a romance should be: romantic!

Derek Buchanan. Que nombre!
Era muy gracioso que cada vez que intentaba hacer algo para agradar a Sydney, le salía mal.
Ella tenia un trust issue, muy grande (la re entiendo) pero me enojaba que no confíe en Derek que fue su amigo desde siempre y sabía que era un buen hombre.
