OMG! This is not one to be missed!, Jun 29 2004
This review is from: Christmas Baby (Mass Market Paperback)
Ashford "Ash" Edward Blackburne, Fifth Earl of Blackburne, wanted nothing more than to clear all his debts (and his late father's) and save Blackburne Chase, the family estate. To do so, he must bow to his grandfather's will. (Grandfather is alive in this story.) By Christmas, Ash must have married and his wife must be pregnant with his first child. Otherwise, Ash will lose everything. If Ash succeeds, his grandfather will go ahead and give a huge amount of cash up front, to pay all debts. The story begins in March, 1818. Ash has nine months. So disgusted with the situation, Ash cares not where he plants his seed. An innkeeper offers him a game of chance. If Ash wins, he gets to own the inn. If Ash loses, he must pay a cash price; however, as a consolation prize, Ash would get to wed his daughter. Either way, Ash wins. Ash had no idea what he was getting himself into when he accepted the game. He lost the game and found himself marrying the innkeeper's daughter at gunpoint. She looked and smelled something AWFUL! Once he got her to the estate, cleaning her was a fight to the death - almost. He seceded at getting her clean, but when he tried to consummate the marriage with the she-cat, she shot him in the butt! Larkin "Lark" Rose McAdams was furious at her situation! Yet, decided it could work. After all, she had been fond of the earl for several years already and if she did what he wanted he might agree to let her bring Micah, her deceased sister's son, to live with them. But Micah was not the only surprise for the new couple. By Christmas, their house will swell with people and the newly married couple will teach each other the true meaning of Love. ***** OMG! This story could not possibly have been any better! I could not stop myself from reading AT ALL. I read the entire thing in a single day. Yes, it is THAT good. This story is not one to be missed! BRAVA! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

One of the all time best Chrsitmas Romances!, Oct 2 2004
By Robbie-Lynn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Baby (Mass Market Paperback)
Annette Blair knows how to create characters that you never forget. From the Reluctant Hero and the Guttersnipe Bride to the myriad of extended family and friends, each character is delightful, well developed and endearing. Ms Blair must really know how to love people to be able to write such lovable characters.
The story is a robust and exciting read that kept me laughing all night. (I just could not put it down!) I am partial to Christmas Romances and this one just hit all the right notes. I plan on making it a permanent part of my annual holiday reading list.
I enthusiastically recomend this fourth book in the Rogue Series by Annette Blair. Once you've read it go back and read the first three! You can't miss.

Her rogue series of which this is the fourth and final is off
the shelf AWESOME. They are on my KEEPER shelf and it seems
that everyone else is keeping them too as they are hard to find
but, if you can find them....BUY IT. You will not be disappointed.
