The whole 'playboys meal ticket dies, boys have to grow up' theme of the three brothers is intriguing. The heroine was basically fairly well developed, but her issues over betrayal/men was way over-the-top for what had happened. Sure ... she had every reason to be distrustful ... but the way she went about it seemed ... excessive. It's like ... sheesh ... get some therapy or something!
The hero started out a playboy and stayed that way through most of the book. The heroine was so darned MEAN show more to him all the time, however, that his continuing to be attracted to her just didn't seem credible. I would have appreciated more on how he grew up over the course of the book and began to enjoy his new found responsibility. He got there, but the whole focus on the heroines silly emotional baggage and the overly-contrived 'accident/injuries' just totally didn't work. The nature of the injuries, his physical symptoms, and how he recovered ALSO were totally not credible. That writing would have been much better spent showing how he earned the heroines trust by showing how he grew up and became responsible with the accident only a blurb.
In all ... I bought ... I read ... I don't regret it ... but I'll only pick up the other two books in this series if I spot them in a used bargain-bin 4:1 capacity. And then only to see if the author's writing has improved to complete the story of the other two 'spoiled playboy brothers.' I'm more in love with the concept than the writing itself. show less

Romantic soap-opera amnesia. Glad this was the 5th in the series, or I never would have read the other 4, which had different authors and were MUCH better.
rabck bookbox from Hunterryu; historical romance set on a ranch. Young widow Amanda Spencer rescues a young woman, her children and her sheep; after the cattleranchers try to run them off her ranch grounds. Lots of fighting and Amanda digging in her heels, with only bachelor Choice on the neighboring ranch helping her out because he wants to marry her.
