About the author

Kasey Michaels is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than 100 books (she doesn't count them). Kasey has received three coveted Starred Reviews from Publishers Weekly, two for the historical romances, THE SECRETS OF THE HEART and THE BUTLER DID IT, and a third for contemporary romance LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (that shows diversity, you see). She is a recipient of the RITA, a Waldenbooks and Bookrak Bestseller award, and many awards from Romantic Times magazine, including a Career Achievement award for her Regency era historical romances. She is an Honor Roll author in Romance Writers of America, Inc. (RWA)

Kasey has appeared on the TODAY show, and was the subject of a Lifetime Cable TV show "A Better Way," in conjunction with Good Housekeeping magazine, a program devoted to women and how they have achieved career success in the midst of motherhood (short version: "with great difficulty").

A highly praised nonfiction book, written as Kathryn Seidick, "...OR YOU CAN LET HIM GO," details the story of Kasey and her family during the time of her eldest son's first kidney transplant.

Kasey has written Regency romances, Regency historicals, category books including novellas and continuities and a few series "launch" books, and single title contemporaries. She has coped with time travel, ghosts, trilogies, the dark side, the very light side, and just about everything in between. Hers is also the twisted mind behind her ongoing Maggie Kelly mystery series starring a former romance writer turned historical mystery writer whose gorgeous hunk of a fictional hero shows up, live and in color, in her Manhattan living room – to melt her knees, to help her solve murders, and to leave the top off her toothpaste. And, says Kasey, she's just getting started!

I didn’t really realize until the end of this story that it’s a Harlequin chapter by chapter book that they have out on their website from a long time ago. This was definitely a romance story with complications between the school counselor, a school board member and his son that published completely together in one book would have been better. But the thrill of their captivity in a storm made it a really good read, all by itself! The author has a unique way of putting characters together that one would never expect to be with an amusing interest!

This series was originally published by Harlequin back in 1997, well almost two decades later, Harlequin has revamped the series and is re-releasing it as a digital series. One book is released each week, however each book is broken down into three parts, released on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You will have to get all three parts, otherwise you get cut-off in the middle of the story and these stories are catchy.

Cassandra Mercer a high school counselor and Sean Frame a business man with a high school son and over involved parent/member of the school board are always at each other's throats; but when a horrible storm hits and they end up trapped in a car after a mudslide, let just say the heat from those school meetings turns into a different kind of heat.

As Sean navigates dealing with his teenage son by learning how to be a more communicative parent; he also has to learn what he really feels for Cassandra and whether their car ride can turn into something real.

After the storm Cassandra is finding out that Sean might be the one. Now she just needs how to figure out how to reach that bull headed stubborn man.

The story is good and the characters are realistic so the story is very enjoyable.

Carino ma lontano dai coinvolgimenti emotivi che ritroviamo nelle serie odierne
