Kurzbiographie
Catherine J. Archibald was born on 17 August, and grew up in Oregon, USA. She has always loved books and reading. Even as little girl, she enjoyed making up further adventures about the characters in the books she read as well as writing stories about her own characters. But it wasn’t until she read Jane Eyre at around the age of 12 that she realized she wanted to write... romance novels. Completing a novel, however, turned out to be much more difficult than making up stories in her head!

In the years between deciding to become an author, marrying her Canadian husband, Steve, having three children, enrolling in nursing school twice, she began but never finished many novels. It wasn’t until her youngest child was two that she sat down and told herself that she would complete her book or go to her grave trying. That novel, written on an old typewriter that a friend gave her after finding out that she was working on a book, took two years to finish. Her husband, Steve, seeing how determined she was to become a published author, sold his 1965 Mustang to buy her first computer. He remained a constant and devoted supporter through the seven years of rejections. It was her third completed historical romance, Rose Among Thorns, that Catherine sold to Harlequin Historicals in 1992. It was the culmination of her all her dreams and hard work. She still approaches each book with the same excitement of that first one. Bringing the characters and their story to life are some of her greatest challenges and joys. Each time she helps the hero and heroine discover that being able to truly love and trust in another person only makes you stronger, she renews her own belief in the power of love. With the 2003 release of her thirteenth and last book for Harlequin, Dragon's Daughter, Catherine has lost none of her sense of awe at seeing the names of her characters in print.

After a rich and unforgettable stay of 15 years in Alberta, Catherine now lives with her husband of more than 25 years and her three children in Troutdale, Oregon, near her family again. She loves meeting and hearing from readers and may be reached at the following address: Catherine Archer, P.O. Box 1216, Fairview, OR 97024-1216.

Disappointing conclusion to a trilogy in which the first two books were quite likable. Female lead of this book has no personality. First two chapters are weird and uncomfortable with her being extremely horny for the male lead who is dying of a fever, including a scene where she looks at him and I guess her nipples get hard?? While he's DYING? Weird.

Hated Rowena. Christian was lame after we just spent the last two books wondering where he was. The conclusion to the entire trilogy was too easily resolved and lame. Romance wasn't believable, I didn't care about Rowena or Christian or anybody. Even early on in the book it wasn't believable - after his horse and saddlebags have been missing for a full week, a guy from the village finds the horse and bags within like 5 hours and not a single item was taken??

After two entire books of Christian's basically brothers (and his sister) desperately trying to find him, he barely interacts with them at all in this book (we only see Jarrod in like 3 scenes in one chapter, and those scenes are basically just from his focus book anyway). I don't think he even speaks to his sister at all. He barely talks to his father. He has a longer conversation with some bandits than he does with any of the people who have been wondering where he is for the past like year in-universe.

Just a disappointing ending after I had really enjoyed the first two books. Hopefully this disappointment is the exception as I'm intending to read the authors "season's brides" series as well.

Good romance! The unfortunate misunderstandings between the two characters were entirely reasonable, the villain's motivations make sense once he reveals them, and the solution to the plot doesn't feel like a deus ex machina. The sex scenes were pretty steamy but didn't drag the entire plot down. The story also felt like the perfect length - it didn't end abruptly or just keep dragging on forever. I have no complaints. Looking forward to reading the other two books in the series.
