    Jule McBride

    When native West Virginian Jule McBride was a preschooler, she kept her books inside her grandmother's carved oak cabinet, to which only she had the key. Everyday, at reading time, she'd unlock the cabinet-and the magical worlds contained in the books inside. Only later did she realize the characters she'd come to love weren't real, and that's when she knew she'd one day be a writer herself. When asked why she usually writes comedy, Jule had this to say, "I've written romantic suspense novels and love them, but I probably love to write humor because laughter truly is the best medicine. Besides, ever since I can remember, funny things happen to me. Once, in first grade, I bundled up in my coat for recess-only to discover the hem hit my ankles, my arms were swallowed and my belt dragged the ground. Doing the logical thing, I fled home, convinced I was shrinking. (Mom's sleuthing-she was a great solver of conundrums-uncovered that I'd donned a sixth grader's identical coat.) Nevertheless to this day, I, like everybody, feel sometimes confused by life's little mysteries. Because of that, I love to create heroines who are in some kind of humorous jam when they meet their prince." A lover of books, Jule graduated from West Virginia State College with honors, then from the University of Pittsburgh where she also taught English. She's worked in libraries and as a book editor in New York City, but in 1993, her own dream to write finally came true with the publication of Wild Card Wedding. It received the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best First Series Romance, and ever since, the author has continued to pen heartwarming love stories that have repeatedly won awards and made appearances on romance bestseller lists. Today, after publishing nearly 30 Harlequin titles, Jule writes full-time, and often finds the inspiration for her stories while on the road, traveling between Pennsylvania, where she makes her home, and her family's farm in West Virginia.

      Awesome story. Reminds me of the movie true lies
    • 1/5
      I can’t, in good conscience, recommend this book to anyone. Not even to Harlequin fans! Now, I admit that I don’t read many Harlequin books….in fact, I can’t remember the last time I read one…. but this one was pretty bad. There are a few spoilers ahead, but since I don’t think you should read this, it doesn’t matter, right?I didn’t like Fritzi at all. Her name should have been Ditzi. She was a very poor decision maker, beginning with her decision to take her baby to Alaska in the middle of winter and let’s not forget running off in the middle of a snowstorm to meet some stranger, whose only contact with her is a single phone call, in an empty schoolhouse. David/Nathan didn’t come off as particularly noble. I rolled my eyes so much in the first 100 pages that I almost didn’t finish it. But by the time Fritzi was arrested on the spot for the murder of “David Frayne”, despite very little evidence (a knife she says was stolen), and then was put in front of an “investigative jury” the next day before being released because some guy comes in and says he’s married to her and she was with him, and hey! they all believe *his* alibi!…. well, by that time it was a train wreck I couldn’t look away from. It smoothed out a little in the middle, when they actually got to the romance part (which there actually was very little of in the book), but fell apart completely at the end again. Ms. McBride should stick to the romance and leave the suspense to those who actually know what they’re doing.So thank you J.Kaye, for offering me the opportunity to guest review this! It’s made me appreciate the good romance I’ve read even more! :-)
