Surf, Sea and a Sexy Stranger (Modern Heat) by Heidi Rice

Then she sucked in a breath as he wobbled precariously. She watched with guilty fascination as he squatted on his board, steadied himself, straightened. The sleeting October rain made it hard to focus but she couldn’t pull her eyes away from the tall athletic figure clad in a black wetsuit about sixty metres out in the tumbling surf. ‘THAT guy’s got to be the world’s worst surfer,’ Maddy West-more murmured in disbelief as she shivered under her lifeguard’s jacket. I Loveīecause you’re amazing and I love you lots.įor making Maddy’s beach rescue convincing. Heidi loves to hear from readers-you can e-mail her at or visit her website: B.T.W. And she’s having so much fun, she’s almost not sorry that first brilliant career plan didn’t work out.

She lives in London but loves to travel, particularly in the US, where she does a Thelma and Louise road trip every year with her best mate (although they always leave out the driving-off-a-cliff bit).

Her first novel was published in 2007 and she hasn’t looked back since. Brilliant career plan B involved a job as a film reviewer for a national newspaper, but one wonderful husband, two beautiful sons and a lot of really bad B-movies later and she was ready for a new brilliant career plan-so she branched out into the wonderful world of romance writing. As she was thirteen, Paul was pushing fifty and there was the small matter of Joanne Woodward, that didn’t quite pan out. With this in mind, her first brilliant career plan involved marrying Paul Newman. That's simply because as an author myself I know how pathetically sensitive I am about bad reviews and with that in mind I prefer to spread the love among other authors - and don't do public reviews of books I didn't like.USA TODAY bestselling author HEIDI RICE discovered she loved romantic fiction at about the same time she discovered boys and she’s been admiring both ever since. But you may notice that none of my book reviews are less than four-stars. If you didn't like a book you are entitled to say so (even if it's mine! ouch). Now I believe wholeheartedly that readers should give honest and open reviews on Goodreads and Amazon and elsewhere. Then I turn off my computer and do chores (usually involving laundry!) But when I'm not doing laundry or fantasising about my own protagonists I love to read romance.

I love my job because it involves sitting down at my computer and getting swept up in a world of high emotions, sensual excitement, funny feisty women, sexy tortured men and glamourous locations where laundry doesn't exist. I'm married with two sons (which gives me rather too much of an insight into the male psyche!). My name's Heidi Rice, I'm a USA Today Bestselling author.
