About Catherine Coulter

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.

Goodreads review by Amarilli on June 30, 2023

3,75 - Non ho letto i precedenti della serie (credo pure inediti da noi), però il terzo volume è amabile e discreto.

I didn't think this book was very well written. The dialogue was shallow. The Duke was not a likable character. And the heroine could have confessed was going on much sooner. I was very disappointed......more

Goodreads review by Bona on August 31, 2021

La dama es como titularon aquí The Deception, la reescritura que hizo en 1998 Catherine Coulter de su novela corta «An Intimate deception» (1983). Básicamente es una de esas novelas pseudohistóricas de la Regencia con personajes atractivos y una intrigante trama de espionaje. Richard Clarendon, duqu......more

Goodreads review by N.W. on November 16, 2023

This is a re-write of a much earlier book and definitely not my favorite of the series. Evangeline is blackmailed into posing as an impecunious relative of Richard, Duke of Portsmouth. She's to spy on him for the French but doesn't really have the guile to act as a sophisticated widow. This story dr......more

Goodreads review by S on April 09, 2023

Couldn’t enjoy the story, secret identity not my trope. I just felt frustrated until the truth came out and this didn’t happen until the end. For Catherine Courier sedate not steamy, H/H had their banter, sometimes funny, sometimes stupid. No loss if you skip this one.......more
