I do not remember learning that an author had not learned how to read herself until the age of 11. But that was the case with author, Julie Garwood. She missed so much school with having a tonsillectomy at age six, the nobody realized that she did not complete her education in reading, and was not discovered until age 11. Amazing that the same child would grow up as Julie Garwood, a very successful American author. Her Irish heritage was an important force in her growing, as well as adult years. She also contributes her success to being the sixth of seven children. She says that relatively early she discovered that to be noticed in such a large family, her self-expression had to be "forceful, imaginative, and quick"!!!
Garwood's loyal readers seem to enjoy her poignant sense of humor, just as well as her ability to steer her readers toward crying and falling in love. Her mission with each book is to transport her readers to another world, after which they will feel like they have been in a great adventure.
Through local writer's conferences, Garwood met her future agent, even though she had never intended to become a professional writer. She lives in Leawood Kansas, and is currently writing tell notes for her next novel.
Once the love affair begins, the hero? becomes misogynic and cruel through the rest. This includes him leading her to marriage the easy way or the hard way. The hard way is grabbing her by her hair and bringing her to the minister. Plus, hes a narcissist. The female character was only interesting in the first half. After that, she becomes rather weak and silly.I usually like Julie Garwoods books. Choose The Secret instead of this one!! Its a really good read with a strong heroine.
This should be classified as high-fantasy because how can a whiny, clueless girl have the reputation of being the most feared pirate around? Impossible. The second the book revealed that she was the feared pirate Pagan, it was over for me. My hope for this book died. Nope. Nah. Thank you, next. Plot C......more
Julie Garwood does it again. I can't get over the incredible plot, layered story and addictive writing. Definitely on the re-read list. This story follows Caine on his quest to capture the infamous pirate Pagan. He finds love unexpectedly in the form of a damsel in distress - Jade. Caine is a former s......more
Another slow reading week but I really enjoyed the little moments of escape I found in these pages. There is really such awesome balance between romance, mystery, humor and suspense in Julie Garwood novels. This hero stole my heart with every I Love You. He never wavered and was so unapologetic and......more
