Melinda Curtis
aka Mel Curtis
Melinda Curtis is the award winning author of light-hearted, contemporary romances that span the sexy scale - from Harlequin Heartwarmings (sweet romance, rated G) to her Hollywood Rules series (hot reads written as Mel Curtis).
Melinda loves writing romances about women who don't realize how strong they are until a hero comes along to show them, while simultaneously capturing the wry humorous power struggle of falling in love (because, really, who lets the man have the last word?).
Melinda loves all her children...er, books...equally. But some have different tones and characters than others. If you liked the more light-hearted Amber Rules, you'd probably also enjoy Blue Rules, Count on Love, Once Upon a Christmas and The Best-Kept Secret. If you liked the drama in Michael's Father, you'd probably also enjoy A Marriage Between Friends and Back to Eden. The rest of her library falls somewhere in between.
