- Born and raised in South Carolina, I hold a master's degree in personnel services from Clemson University and am a member of Romance Writers of America, EPIC authors, and Alpha Delta Kappa, an international honorary society for women educators. I've been married for thirty five years to my college sweetheart. We have two sons-a physicist and a fraud investigator. They've given us three wonderful grandchildren-one girl and two boys. We also have two mean cats and one sweet, brown dog.
I've been writing since 2001 when my son asked me to proofread a book he'd written. I figured if he could, so could I. My first published novel, A New Leaf, was the winner of the 2003 Timeless Love contest. If I wasn't sold on writing before, that did it. I've been writing ever since and don't have any plans to stop. Frankly, I don't think I could even if I wanted to. Writing is a strange compulsion that drives me to spend long hours in front of a keyboard when I could be doing important things like napping or eating chocolate. My house isn't dusted as often, I rarely cook, and who cares if the laundry got done or not. Yeah, no doubt about it, I'm addicted.
When I'm not writing or teaching I enjoy gardening, quilting, and trying new restaurants with my friends. You can learn more about me at my web site http://www.elainecantrell.com and at http://www.myspace.com/elainecantrell... I also have a blog at http://www.elainepcantrell.blogspot.c...

Wonderful
I lover the ending off this book, but I didn't like that both of them stepped outside their relationship. The storyline was really good, though I thought the characters could have been fleshed out a little better. Overall, it's a decent story for a rainy afternoon, just don't expect some curl your toes romance. This is more one of the innocent, sweet, and savory ones. I do love the way the author can make you see the characters, their moods, even their mannerisms.… (more)

Honestly, this book was pretty predictable. There is a part at the end that will throw you, though. You are going to be thinking it is one person, but it isn’t. This is such a sweet story and has a really good message if you are like me, and look deeper than the words on the page. I love how it relays to not judge a book by its cover and reminds us that everyone has a story. Some are just prettier than others. The writing is good, it is slow starting if you can stick with it though, it is worth it. You won’t end up disappointed. It was also nice seeing two people who are attracted to each other but wait until they are both ready to come together instead of either having to fix each other or dealing with the fallout. You are going to find the author draws you in and you love who you’re supposed to while hating those she wants you to hate. Jake is such a wonderful guy, and he has forced his insecurities onto everyone he meets. Patrick is the class clown with jock looks. Then you have Ashley the homecoming queen turned bad girl. Lastly, you have the girl with the world at her feet now that she got rid of her baggage. Come along for the ride.
