- Courte biographie
- Robyn Grady was first published with Harlequin (Silhouette, New York in 2007 and Mills and Boon, London in 2008). Her books feature regularly on bestsellers lists and at award ceremonies, including The National Readers Choice, The Booksellers Best, Cataromance Reviewers Choice and Australia’s prestigious Romantic Book of the Year.
Recently, she signed a three book deal with Entangled Publishing for her IDOL contemporary romance series.
Robyn lives on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast with her real life hero husband and three daughters. When she can be dragged away from tapping out her next story, Robyn visits the beach or the theatre. These days she’d rather keep fit reliving her youth and shaking it to Just Dance than pretending to jog.
Robyn believes writing romance is the best job on the planet and she loves to hear from her readers. - Notice de désambigüisation

Well I typically love amnesia stories but this one was only so so. I kind of spent the whole book waiting for the other shoe to fall. And when it did, her reactions didn't make a whole lot of sense. Most of the story was told in the hero's POV so we didn't have a real clear picture of where she was coming from. I did like the hero though. He was very well done.
Robyn Grady first came to my attention last year when I stumbled across Her Mother's Day Miracle for free on Kindle. The story was so realistic and touching that I knew I had to read more. As I researched for more books by this amazing author I realized that I had been reading her for years. Her resume of stories also includes Harlequin Romances and I had no idea. I received a copy of The Complete Holiday Romance Collection by Robyn Grady in exchange for an honest review. This holiday anthology is a wonderful blend of romance, wisdom and holiday cheer all packed into one short neat bundle. The stories range from comical to heartbreaking and every thing in between. With this read Ms. Grady proves simple can be sexy. An enjoyable find.… (plus d'informations)
This was an interesting holiday book. There were five stories, each different in its own way.
In the first one, we find a nurse at Crest Haven Psychiatric hospital. Joanie Russell has been at the hospital for years and, in the story, muses and expresses regret for a myriad of things she has experienced or not experienced in life. In the story, the author introduces the reader to some of the patients: a young woman who found her husband with her best friend, a stripling young man who suffered an accident at work, Laura Beal who blamed herself for a terrible tragedy as a result of a fire and who waited for who some sign, and, a young girl who obviously had wandered away from the children’s area. In addition, the nurse meets an investigative reporter, researching information on the hospital and its patients for an investigative story, and Matron Flynn who rules with an iron grip and sometimes has ideas that seemed foreign and ill-suited to Nurse Russell. The story was okay, but not great. The transition from past musings, which became the current reality in the story, to the present at the end was done very poorly. While reading I had to stop to figure out what exactly was going happening, as it was not very clear to me and happened so suddenly. In addition, as I read I expected more on the other patients mentioned—why else include them and their back stories? However, these stories were left hanging. In a short piece such as this one, it is difficult to write a good plot since the space and timing is so short. Putting extra items into the story only serves to confuse the reader and to make the reader wish the story was longer, in my opinion. Finally, I never really did understand the story well, which did not settle well with me.
The second story finds a young girl in a difficult, if not impossible, situation, trying to escape a malicious step-father and still take care of an ailing mother. The story was, for the most part, a dark one. It had little or nothing to do with Christmas and did little to put me in any holiday or festive mood.
The third story was just weird, in my opinion. I found it difficult to relate to the characters, and the setting was very unique for me. I am not sure I would like to read more about Rodger de Jonge or his family after reading this one.
The fourth story was okay, but also kind of strange. I felt little or no connection to the characters, and I thought there was little development beyond the development of Selena and Dallas, and the ending could have been done much better. I wish the author had developed the character of her father and new body guard better.
The last story was the shortest, but was, in my opinion, a fairly good holiday story. It was the kind of story I expected in this collection.
This may be a good collection of holiday stories for someone looking for something a little bit different. It may also appeal to other readers who look for and can relate to things I normally don’t. I received this from the author through NetGalley to read and review.… (plus d'informations)

Oh why, oh why, oh why did I bother?
I skimmed more than I actually read. It was uninspiring and lacked that something something to immerse me in this family rivalry type of romance. It was all too instant and too dull and boring for my liking. I'll probably forget I even read this by the end of the day.
