Kelley Hartshorn
Reading is not only a hobby, but a basic need in my life. I read primarily romance (historical, contemporary, paranormal, romantica -- you name it, I've probably got a selection on my bookshelf) but I've been drifting into the mystery realm lately.
I live in Nebraska (oh no, please don't cry) and have for my entire life. I currently work at a university as a technology specialist, but when the funding runs out -- which is happening fast -- I'll have to find a new vocation. We'll see . . .
Until then, I'm quite happy to read and review books, surf the 'Net, and play WAY too many games online.

The Ruthless Charmer
by Julia London
"Charming Indeed"
Posted September 18, 2003
I stumbled upon Julia London, author of the Rogues of

Regency-era romance

done and lack
originality. That is one of the reasons I have enjoyed the
three books Read more...
