COLD FEET
Nineteenth-century, Scotland:
When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro
"Bear" MacLawry isn't sure what impresses him more-the girl's sure
aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the
Highlands with her half-sister to escape an unwanted wedding, and wants no part
of him, nor any man. But he can't abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued
wildcat now that he's discovered her-not when she fits so perfectly in his
arms...
LOVING ARMS
Munro has more than earned his nickname-he's a well-muscled,
well-favored mountain of a man with an engaging bad-boy grin and a string of
well-satisfied lasses behind him. Bringing Catriona food, blankets, candles,
everything she needs to survive a winter in an abandoned abbey, Munro is an
unexpected gift in her reckless bid for freedom-and an unexpected complication.
Clan MacDonald has plans for her, and they don't include her falling for a
MacLawry. But this man makes her feel like a woman-and he may be her one chance
to live a life about which she's only dared dream...
Oh I love this book with it's feisty woman, Cat and the
obstinate hot, hot man "Bear" Munro who doesn't know how to take the words
"NO and go away". This books starts off with a lot of attitude and it
continues throughout the book. But it's a great attitude as these two
characters discover that they are both prickly and find
the constant tension helps them find completeness they have
missed their whole life.
There is secrecy, intrigue, fighting, possibility of
clan war and love in this book. The author does a phenomenal job
of combining all these aspects without losing the reader or making the
story unbelievable. I look forward to reading more of her books and give this 4
STARS.

Suzanne was born in Southern California sometime in the
latter half of the 20th century. In the way that some people are born knowing
they want to be astronauts or cellists, Suzanne always knew she wanted to be a
writer. Early dreams of becoming a zoologist and writing true stories about her
adventures in Africa were crushed, however, after she viewed a television
special about the world’s most poisonous snakes; she did NOT want to write
about how she’d been bitten and lost a limb to a cobra. Thankfully at the same
time the movie “Star Wars” premiered, and she realized that she could make up
adventures and write about them, and not be eaten by deadly predators while
doing research.
She dabbled in romantic fantasy writing for a year or two after graduating with a degree in English from the University of California, Irvine, until her affection for traditional Regency romances led her to write one for fun. After several encouraging rejections from publishers, she snared the interest of the world’s best and most patient literary agent, who advised her to revise the manuscript. This ultimately led to the publication of her first book, The Black Duke’s Prize, from Avon Books in the Spring of 1995. A second Regency, Angel’s Devil, followed that Fall.
When Avon folded its traditional Regency line, Suzanne was encouraged to try her hand at historical romance. As she remained keenly interested in England’s Regency period, she decided to attempt another manuscript set in that time. Lady Rogue hit the shelves in March of 1997. She wrote a total of 29 books for Avon, including two anthologies and a five-part contemporary series which received a pair of starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. One of those books, Twice the Temptation, was named one of the five best romances of the year by PW in 2007.
In 2002 her well-known love of all things “Star Wars” led to an invitation to appear on the E! channel in the television special “Star Wars: The Force Is Back”, where she discussed the romance in the movie series and ended up with more air time than George Lucas.
In 2010 Suzanne left Avon Books for St. Martin’s Press, where she continues to pen historical romance novels. Her 31st book, Taming an Impossible Rogue, is set to arrive in March 2012.
Suzanne is known for her humorous characters, sexy bad boys, and whip-sharp, witty dialogue. She currently resides in Placentia, California with several hundred guppies and various other tropical fish, and handful of very loud, spinach-loving finches. And her collection of action figures and statues from “Star Wars”, “Lord of the Rings”, “X-Men”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Everybody needs some inspiration, after all.
