Harlequin Superromance

I was intrigued by this book since I read the mini-novel, Million Dollar Dad on here.  I really enjoyed the mystery with the mom.  Who was she?  Why did she leave?  there was so much intrigue surrounding her.

Nest to wild and crazy, bad boy heroes, my next all-time favorite hero is the devoted dad.  And Gavin is definitely devoted to his daughter.

Becky was the daughter of the sherriff.  Although many of the boys had crushes on her, they were too afraid of her father to ask her out.  Except for Luke.  Who was a wild & crazy teen (and still is a little wild & crazy---aren't all the best heroes??).  Luke was dared to ask Becky out, but they both fell in love. Then, she learned of the dare and broke his heart.

i really like the book because it showed that people can change if they want . i like that mason didnt want his son to make the same mistake that he did and stuff this book was real good you should read it

This story has adventure out the wazoo.  Kelly and Bart avoid capture by pirates, corrupt police, and drug lords while falling in love in Thailand.  The title is a little misleading seeing as the pregnancy doesn't manifest until the last chapter, but the story was entertaining.

A Husband of Her Own by Brenda Novak, SuperRomance, #1130, May 2003 (series: book 2- Dundee, Idaho book)

Rebecca Wells had a reputation in Dundee. Once she married and moved she wouldn't hear the whispers behind her back. But her fiancée kept postponing the date. Josh Hill had always been a thorn in Rebecca's side. Ever since he moved in across the street from her. Over the years they pulled pranks on each other. While she gained the reputation of a troublemaker, Josh was just being a boy. And boys will be boys. It didn't help that Josh was like the son her father never had and with her being the youngest she was her father's last chance for a boy. They decide to call a truce to their war because her parent's anniversary party is coming up and everyone  wants the party to go of without a hitch. Josh starts seeing how all the talk is hurting Rebecca, even though she acts tough and shrugs it off. What's with all the jealous and possessive feelings that keep cropping up? Shouldn't thoughts of his girlfriend and not Rebecca invade his mind? If Josh wanted Rebecca to get on with her life so he could get on with his, why would he call her fiancee and tell him of all Rebecca's past unsavory deeds?

This is the sequel to a book I read last year, The Horseman's Secret. It features that heroine's sister and that hero's brother. I liked the first book, and I liked this one even more. There was more focus on the romance, and it felt even more natural when they finally came together at the end (and I mean that in the most innocuous of ways, those of you with dirty minds!).

     Another excellent story by Janice Kay Johnson; I can truly state that I've not read one book by her so far that has not been, at the least Very Good... and usually they're Excellent or higher. 
     Being a single parent has got to be one of the most difficult things to do ~ even in a two parent home, sometimes, you wonder if you're going to survive your child's teen years.  But for a man who's never really known love or had someone that can show him the way, a teenaged daughter has to be a challenge beyond belief.  JKJ displays her mastery of wonderfully evocative emotional storytelling once again... and not just for David, but also for Grace and the girls, Claire and Linnet. 
     Yes her stories are very emotion- based, but character is a major ingredient as well and regardless of the focus, the stories are always first-rate.

RATING:
Excellence: Excellent ~ 4.0 stars
Steaminess: Sensual
