If you could begin you full time job at 7:30 a.m. and be completed for the day by 11:00, wouldn't that be a great job? American author, Catherine Coulter has her dream job with just that schedule. She begins every morning at 6:30 a.m. checking and answering her emails, and begins writing at 7:30 a.m. After writing her quota for the day, she finishes at 11:00! Coulter usually plans to write one suspense novel and one historical romance novel each year.
Coulter began her career as a speech writer for an executive on Wall Street while her husband was a medical student. She did a lot of reading herself to fill her time as he studied or was on duty. During one particular reading episode, she got so aggravated by the lack of good writing in the book she was reading, that she threw it across the room. As she did this, she yelled, I could do so much better than that! Her husband said, then go ahead, prove it! Thus began a career that has led her to writing over fifty books, with 42 consecutive novels on the New York Times best seller list. Among them: The Cove, The Maze, The Target, The Edge, Riptide, Knockout, Hemlock Bay, Blindside, and many others in her suspense thriller series.
Coulter currently resides in Marin County, California just across the Golden Gate Bridge, with her husband and their three cats. They enjoy travel, skiing, and she is still a very avid reader.
I am an avid reader of romance novels. I had not read a Catherine Coulter, so I was looking forward to this. I like to begin with the early books so I can see how the author improves. I'm really hoping her books get better with time. The story of Kassia and Graelem left a bad taste in my mouth. Graelem spent most of the story mistreating Kassia, who from the beginning was a fragile creature. Emotional abuse, unfaithfulness and even rape were what she had in store for her as the wife to Lord Graelem de Moreton. He realizes his mistakes far too late in the story and the last pages were spent trying to undo the rest of the book. I gave it one star because it made me want to hurry and finish it...not to see what happened at the end, but just to get it over with. A great romance is one that leaves you smiling over the story. This one just made me smile when it was over.
SPOILERS***************************************** This is a wallbanger because the hero is a rapist. Sorry, that sends you straight to wall-bangers. I actually liked the end of the story after he softens up but I just can't overlook the rape and the adultury. The heroine actually catches the hero wit......more

I don't read very many romance novels. I kind of roll my eyes when someone mentions them actually, hahaha. But my friend willingly admits that they are her guilty pleasure, so when she recommended this book to me, I basically turned her down. Her repeated recommendations eventually wore me down and......more
