Now, united against a common enemy, they would discover the power of the magnificent attraction that brought them together…a desire born in danger, but destined to flame into love!“Julie Garwood has become a trusted brand name in romantic fiction.” — People

About Julie Garwood

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.

Goodreads review by steph on April 06, 2013

2.5 to 3 stars. Should have really paid attention to the year this book was written (1986!) because dear god, the alpha male hero and the feisty, different yet still sensitive and sweet heroine made me want to throw this book against the wall at some points. In one scene, heroine gets pushed down the......more

Goodreads review by Millie on May 05, 2022

When I checked the review of this book, I thought surely the hero wouldn’t be that big of an ass. This is Garwood! But no, he was really an ass, alright. Besotted like the rest of Garwood’s heroine, but an ass plain and simple. I’ve never read any hero being as big as an ass as he, Nicki Minaj would......more

Goodreads review by MelaDWolf on February 27, 2016

3.5-4stars! I started with reading this book on the beginning of the week. Because I have paperback, and Julie Garwood can make my day, this one was read-on-class-when-bored. I could probably sit down, and read it in few hours, but then what would I do, when I'm bored in school. Trust me, this was fi......more

So... that was alright. But man, the hero is such a bigot. I kinda hate him. However I did enjoy the first half of the book. The second half was very disappointing. The mystery was also very lackluster.......more
