A big old man whore like a rake in historical romance, only without the charm and heavily-layered sympathy. He’s intelligent, dedicated, and you see glimpses of noble behavior but early in the book, the reader gets a very frank examination of his character. Gabe Rossiter is a park ranger, with enormous understanding and respect for the land he patrols, but an absolute lack of respect and understanding of himself and most women. I think the biggest obstacle to this book for many will be the degree of redemption that the hero requires, and the depth of selfishness from which he has to redeem himself. Well, that’s not exactly correct: I knew I’d adored the heroine, and I was terribly moved and desperately scared by the ending, but the hero took some time to mellow in my brain to the point where I felt I fully understood and appreciated him. Her other interests include drawing and painting, quilting, listening to music, horseback riding, world travel and reading.When I first finished this book, I didn’t think I’d liked it. She loves to hike and enjoys watching birds and wildlife with her two sons. As romance novelist is a RITA finalist (Surrender, 2006) and a three-time Daphne du Maurier finalist (I-Team series).Ī single mother with two teenage sons, Alec and Benjamin, she lives in Boulder, Colorado, next to the unbelievable beauty of the Rocky Mountains. This year, she was honored by the Colorado Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists with their Keeper of the Flame Lifetime Achievement Award for her work.

She began her writing career as a columnist and investigative reporter and eventually became the first woman editor-in-chief of two different newspapers. She attributes her love of historical romance with the years she spent visiting ruins and castles in Europe.

She loves history, having studied Archaeology in college, and has traveled extensively, living for almost three years in Denmark, which feels like home to her. Pamela Clare writes historical romance and comtemporary romantic suspense books.
