Texas, Amazon review "I absolutely loved every second of Girl In Trouble, it's witty in places and utterly emotional at other times, and it deals with some deeper issues too." Rachel's Random Reads "Rhoda Baxter's characters are the real deal. She writes heroes and heroines who jump from the pages to carry me along to their happy endings." - Sue Moorcroft (Bestselling Author) "Sets up the sentimental situation only to send it spinning in entirely unexpected directions." Romance Novels for Feminists "Bought this yesterday and practically inhaled it because I really really had to know how it ended before I went to sleep!"

For me that was the biggest strength of the story, something I absolutely loved." With Love For Books "If you're going on holiday, or a long train journey, you will devour this." Sandra Danby's blog (author and book blogger) "The characters are what makes it - they keep you turning the pages as you're so invested in what might happen to them."

Rhoda Baxter
Rhoda writes contemporary women’s fiction with a hint of geek. Back in the early 2000s, when she commuted into London every day, Rhoda read romance novels and wished there were more stories about women who were not obsessed with shoes. Besides which, where were all the nice men - the sort that rely on wit and charm rather than money and biceps? Rhoda now writes the sort of books she wanted to read. She's lucky enough to have several books published by a traditional publisher (thank you Choc Lit!). Her books have been nominated for prizes and her articles have appeared on various websites, including USA Today. In real life, she has a DPhil in microbiolgy, so if her pen name sounds vaguely bacterial, you can guess why. You can find her wittering on about cake and science or making bad puns on her website (www.rhodabaxter.com), or on Facebook or Twitter (@rhodabaxter). Or, if you like, you can email her at rhodab@rhodabaxter.com. Please do say hello if you’re passing.
