About the author

Judy Russell Christenberry was born in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she raised in a family of four children with a stay-at-home mom who was a terrific cook and an excellent teacher, where family tradition was concerned. As a child, Judy was surrounded by animals. Her father raised a few head of cattle to keep meat on the table. At one time or another, there were sheep, Thanksgiving turkeys, ducks and dogs, and there were always chickens.

Judy learned the importance of family at an early age. But, Judith's marriage ended in divorce. Yet, with support from her mother and siblings, she and her two daughters discovered their own definition of family. The family comes in all shapes and flavors. What's important isn't the two parents and the 2.5 children, it's love and support. She raised her children, taught during the day, wrote at night, and pursued her dream.

Judy, hasn't always been a writer, but she's always been a dreamer. As a child, for entertainment while doing chores, she told herself stories-she was always the heroine. However, she didn't start writing until she turned thirty-eight, just one year after her father's unexpected death. After this, she realized life promised no guarantees about how much time you have. Why wait to pursue your dreams? She had begun reading Harlequin Romance novels about ten years earlier, so romance writing came naturally. She signs her novels as Judy Christenberry, Judith Christenberry and Judith Stafford.

Over time, Judy realized two central themes dominating her writing: family and small town/country life. Many of her books have cowboy heroes, partly because she read all Zane Grey's romantic versions of the Old West as a teenager, and partly because her parents grew up on farms. The last element that frequently appears in Judy's stories is a dash of humor, just enough to bring a smile to your face. She believes laughter is good medicine and it definitely makes a six-foot hunk even more attractive!

Now, with her daughters pursuing their own dreams, Judy writes full-time and is wrapped up in her storytelling. She lives each new adventure with the vigor of a young girl, still dreaming up tales while washing dishes. She hopes to entertain her readers as much as she entertains herself!

The story was pretty good but it seemed to go by fast. The way Jeff, Chelsea and Bill were going about their relationships was very off putting. Say you like someone even if they are already with someone else and don't play stupid games. I really, really liked the last parts of the book and I even got a bit teary eyed.

Rebecca a single mom college student with a three year old, gets a part-time job at a law firm not far from campus. As it turns out the lawyer she will be working for is also the father of her child. He of course didn't know about their son. HEA.


Started reading this book again and realized about a quarter into it I had already read it. Since I had gotten into it again I finished the book.

Cute little book but pure fluff. Was somewhat annoyed with the whole love triange thing going on throughout the book. Too obvious how the couples are going to end up and breaking up the engagement seems a little too easy. Other than that it was a nice lazy day read when I didn't want to put much energy into thinking
