About the Author
Dixie Browning, née Burrus was born September 9, 1930 in North Carolina. Browning considers herself foremost an artist. She studied and later taught art. She paints landscapes and seascapes in watercolor, and is listed in Who's Who in American Art. In 1975, Browning began writing a newspaper show more column on art. Shortly thereafter, she decided to try fiction. As she had recently begun reading romance novels, she attempted to recreate the pieces of the genre that appealed to her. This tactic worked, as in 1976, Avalon published her first two romances. She has since published over 100 category romance novels. She has been awarded a Romance Writers of America RITA Award, and been a five-time RITA finalist. She has also won three Maggies, and numerous awards from the National Federation of Press Women and the NC Press Club. At the end of 2004, after Browning had submitted yet another manuscript, she realized that writing was not as exciting for her as it had been. She began painting again, and now concentrates primarily on her art. Browning cofounded and served as the first president of The Watercolor Society of North Carolina. She is also a co-owner of Browning Artworks in Frisco, North Carolina. Her works include Driven to Distraction, Her Passionate Plan B, Her Man Upstairs, and Beckett's Convenient Bride.

The Millionaire's Pregnant Bride (Texas… by Dixie Browning
This wasnt a bad book at all however i did struggle to get into it. I also didnt love the way it ended. I feel like their story hadnt ended. I know there is more books in the series but i dont feel compelled to read them with the way this one went.
Lyle nunca tinha enfrentado um homem de verdade, até que encontrou Thad Creed. Mas ela era jovem demais, feiosa, e marcada por um sentimento de rejeição, já que seus pais nunca haviam feito mais que interná-la num bom colégio e visitá-la nas férias. Agora eles estavam mortos e Lyle, sozinha no mundo, presa das emoções embriagadoras e desconhecidas que Thad lhe despertava. Ah, como queria saber se maquilar, usar roupas charmosas e parecer sedutora a ele! Mas era um sonho impossível. Jamais teria qualquer chance com Thad, ainda mais que Cora, antiga namorada dele, andava por perto. Por que, então, ele a olhava às vezes de maneira tão estranha? Por que lhe… (more)
I keep reading these stereotypical romance reads because they have chubby heroines but I find them pretty meh overall. Had the insecurity and vulnerability that I like, but that was pretty much it. (2.5 stars)
A child is dumped on Mac and he sets out to find the mother only to learn he has got the wrong woman. Now they are stuck on an island during a storm and have to wait for transportation to get back to the mainland so Mac can track down the right woman. Of course, the problem is he has fallen for Banner and little Ellie. What is a man to do?
I enjoyed this story. Mac is curmudgeonly. Banner is reserved. They are an interesting combination. Add in Ellie and her muteness and an unusual bond is created between the three which I hoped would become more. Fortunately all worked out in the end and I got what I wanted.
I always enjoy Dixie Browning's stories.… (more)
