About the Author
        	
        	
        		
        		
	        		
						
			        		Born in the Ohio Valley, Terri relocated below the Mason Dixon line in the early 1990s after experiencing three blizzards in eighteen months. Seeking warmer climes and a career in the music business, she landed in Nashville and learned fast that getting a job on Music Row is not as easy as it sounds. Ironically, it wasn&apos;t until she left Nashville and moved to Arkansas that she found her way into radio. Never one to stay put for long, Terri eventually moved to the East Coast, settled near the ocean, earned her bachelor&#x2019;s degree while raising a daughter, and joined cubicle land once again. But a love of romance novels soon found her writing her own. Five years and many pages later, in 2012, she was named a finalist in the Romance Writers of America&#xAE; Golden Heart&#xAE; contest. An agent and contract soon followed. Terri now resides in Virginia with a teenager, a Yorkipoo, and two fat and happy tabbies.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book~!!!
            
*by C***. on May 18, 2015*

I absolutely, positively LOVED this book!!! I read the first book in this series, "Meant To Be", and I fell in love with everyone and it had me hooked! But I have to admit, Sid was my favorite character, Lucas on the other hand...not so much. I really didn't think Ms. Osburn could top the last book.....but I was so, so wrong.IMO- Lucas was one of the most unlikeable men in, "In Up to the Challenge". But I have to say that Lucas really does redeem himself, in this book. We finally get to see a side of him we hadn't seen before, a side that lets us all know why he acts the way he does. As it turns out....He has always felt like Joe has always been "The Chosen" child in the family. The type of guy who always gets what he wants, without even trying. It's not really rational, but then sometimes our minds lead us to believe things that aren't always the really true, and this is one of those times. I'm so glad he finally got to spend more times with his family, and got the chance to find real peace and happiness he so deserved.Sid really made me laugh out loud at times, and I couldn't help adoring her even more than before! She might be petite and look as cute as a button, but she doesn't even realize it, which makes her that much more adorable. She's always lived and worked her whole life around a bunch of big, rough, tough, alpha type men. So.... it's no wonder she can curse like a sailor and hang with the best of them. But in this book we also get to see a much softer side to Sid. And she shows us a more vulnerable side, too. She's been in love with Lucas, since her high school days, but she never really believed she had a chance with him. She made me laugh so hard at her antic's, but there were times I cried my heart out for her, too.I am totally hooked on this series, and can't wait to read more.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sid and Lucas
            
*by M***E on November 29, 2014*

This is the 2nd book in the Anchor Island series. While you wouldn't technically need to read the others to enjoy this one, you would be missing a load of character development for background characters if you didn't.  I honestly probably never would have read this series if I hadn't received one of the books for free from Amazon.  Of course It wasn't the first book so there was a long while there that it just sat on my shelf.  Then all the sudden I see the 4th book in the recommended section at the bottom of my Kindle for a load of the books that I was checking out.  So I searched out the rest of the series and read them all in order and I was hooked.  The first book I liked but I wasn't quite hooked yet. This book, the 2nd in the series, sucked  me in because I loved the way Sid and Lucas were with each other.  They had great chemistry and their interactions were so fun to read.  By the end of the book, I was in love with the Anchor Island characters and not just Sid and Lucas.  I read through the rest of the series quickly.  I will admit that each of the books does have a little bit of a template that they follow but they are each unique enough that it's not like reading the same book over and over.  The series is very character driven so if you are a lover of characters, you will likely enjoy the series as much as I did.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐ Cheesy and exaggerated, but entertaining.
            
*by L***Z on September 12, 2015*

I find this series extremely chessy and predictable, but still fun and entertaining. The characters are very over the top, and most of the situación sand dialogues are kind of immature and unreal (for example five pages of people's comments about the main character looking so good in a tank top, that people drop plates and call her the perfect centerfold is just too much).Yet I find myself reading this series because it's stories are interesting, and they're fun. You just have to go in knowing it's not great literature and once you get over the fact that it's all very predictable and everybody is beautiful and gets perfect happy endings you'll find a quite enjoyable lite read.I especially liked the participation of characters from the previous book, without them now being the protagonists. And eventhough this is a stand alone, I would recommend reading Meant to Be first.
