About

Anne Patrick, known for her ‘Sweet’ Edge of Your Seat Romantic Suspense, has penned more than a dozen novels. Her works have garnered four and five star reviews and she’s received or been nominated for several awards. Her heroines are usually strong willed, witty, and often very opinionated…combinations that usually land them in situations where death seems imminent. Anne has an alter ego by the name of Kinzie Monroe, who writes Inspirational Romance. Anne, you might say, is the dark side of Kinzie. Anne’s books may be darker in subject matter, but they all carry messages of hope and faith. When she's not killing off people or falling in love with dashing heroes, you can find her surfing the web. Born and raised in Oklahoma, she now makes her home in Kansas.

Description

Santa’s Birthday Gift was written in response to a grandchild’s question, after reading the story of the Nativity. She asked, “But where’s Santa?” This story tells the story of the Nativity and then goes on to tell the story about how when Jesus is born, Santa sees the star at the North Pole and travels to see the baby. Since he is a toymaker, he brings his bag of toys - and offers them to the Christ Child, and then to all the people of the town. His birthday gift to Jesus is a promise to bring gifts to all good boys and girls each year on the Christ Child's birthday

Sherry Gloag at Good Reads rated it 4 Stars: There are a lot of false clues is this story which keeps the reader turning the pages. Her main characters are inspirational, and strong. Erin's capacity to overcome all life's setbacks left me feeling kinda inadequate!! LOL but I liked her well enough to read to the end of the book. I enjoyed the misdirection that comes about by the genuinely presented wrong conclusions of all the main players at the start of the book. It makes the story eminently believable. The supporting cast of characters each played their parts to perfection. If you enjoy sweet romances packed with action, intrigue and malice then Anne Patrick is an author to follow. And this prolific writing will keep you well occupied throughout the year, she has so many new books scheduled for 2010 and a couple more pending in 2011. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7669328-lethal-dreams">Read the whole review here</a>. Sherry Kuhn at Love 2 Read Novels said this: This was a great read! I loved the chemistry between Logan and Erin. Erin was a great character. Even though she had been through so much herself she had a big heart and lots of love for others. She was doubting her faith but you could certainly relate as to why that was. Logan was a to-die-for hero. His soft and gentle ways sure won my heart! He had such a strong faith and inner strength. I loved all the secondary characters as well. I found myself caring about these people as I read the story. Anne Patrick has an easy writing style that draws you into the story and makes you feel like you're living it with the characters. There was a twist and turn at the end that I never saw coming. I love that! I recommend you pick up a copy of Lethal Dreams. <a href="http://www.love2readnovels.blogspot.com/2010/03/lethal-dreams-by-anne-patrick.html">Read the whole review here</a>. Lee Smith at Good Reads gave it 4 Stars: The relationship evolves naturally and is fun to watch. There is some tension, but this is a tame romance. The author labels her books as "Sweet" and I think that's appropriate. She doesn't limit herself with solving the one mystery of who is trying to kill Erin. There are mysteries that come up during the course of their investigation and a surprise or two as well. :o) This is a well-paced suspense novel. I didn't find any part of it lagging - but it also didn't feel like a runaway train. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7669328-lethal-dreams">Read the whole review here</a>. Supsenselover (B&N review) said this: This was my second Anne Patrick book. I loved Journey to Redemption but Lethal Dreams really tugged at my heart. Erin has had some hard knocks in life that has left her a little bitter with good reason. Logan, the kind of hero every woman dreams about, is just the man to soften her up. I really enjoyed how the romance played out and the suspense did justice to this author's brand of, 'Edge of Your Seat Suspense'. Ms Patrick has a unique writing style that I love, and I look forward to more books written by her. If you're looking for a suspenseful read with some 'sweet' romance, you can't go wrong with Lethal Dreams. Awesome job, Ms Patrick JudyT from the eHarlequin community board gave it 5 Hearts! A "sweet" or "inspirational" suspense (depending from which publisher you take your definition). Dr. Erin Jacobs is a sports physical therapist. She stumbles on a crime scene where two officers have been shot, Detective Logan Sinclair and his partner. The story is well paced; the characters are engaging; and there are some great twists and turns. I'm looking forward to reading more of Anne Patrick's stories; she's now on my must-buy list. Brava! <a href="http://community.eharlequin.com/review/lethal-dreams">http://community.eharlequin.com/review/lethal-dreams</a> Gail at GoodReads gave it 5 Stars This psychological mystery has more ups and downs and twists and turns than a roller coaster. The characters, who are involved in the medical profession, the high stakes game of football, law enforcement and the ministry are intriguing. In addition to the mystery / romance there’s a wonderful spiritual message, because Logan, a strong Christian, gently nudges Erin, who is struggling with her faith, back into her belief system. I highly recommend reading this suspenseful book, which reminded me a bit of the Hallmark series Mystery Woman. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7669328-lethal-dreams">Read the whole review here.</a> Readers Favorite gave it 4 Stars Anne Patrick creates likable and believable characters in this romantic and suspenseful novel. Readers will easily identify and sympathize with Erin’s spiritual struggles and emotional dilemma. Their tender love story plucks at the readers’ heartstrings, and the author offers and provides the kind of resolution that satisfies. The author has an easy writing style that appeals to readers. She weaves the threads of the romantic suspense into the plot in an interesting, tantalizing way, leading to some surprising twists and turns in the story, and an ending that will provide lovers of romantic suspense and Christian fiction with all the delight they anticipate. <a href="http://www.readersfavorite.com/cat-71.htm?review=3155">Read review here.</a>
