This review is from: A Cold Creek Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first book that I have read from RaeAnne Thayne's extended book series, "Cold Creek Cowboys", and it won't be the last! Major Brant Western is on a leave of duty from his military tour in Afghanistan. Settling in at his snow-bound family ranch in eastern Idaho, Brant looks forward to peace and privacy, and a chance to heal from the recent battle deaths of several men under his command. His solitude is shattered by the spectacular car-crash arrival of socialite-in-disguise, Mimi Van Hoyt. Seemingly a paparazzi princess who delights in scandalous and newsworthy behavior, Mimi stuns Brant by calling herself "Maura Howard" and acting nothing like a spoiled socialite. Soon Mimi/Maura and her little dog, Simone, have both charmed and disarmed Major Western--and he wouldn't have it any other way! This man and woman both have issues going back to unhappy childhoods, and neither of them is really quite how they first appear to each other. They genuinely like one another, and a mutual attraction begins to build heat. Can they overcome their obvious lifestyle differences, and the secret that Mimi holds so dear, and find the love to last a lifetime? A true "protector" hero, and a very appealing heroine make this a most enjoyable romance read. I so looking forward to meeting the rest of the "Cold Creek Cowboys"!

A sweet quick romance that is not full of sex., Dec 26 2011
By Book Him Danno "Book Him Danno" - Published on Amazon.com
Another sweet romance from Harlequin, this one was sweet and it had no sex at all. Lots of longing looks and deep kisses, but no sex. This book is set in Idaho and the starlet and a Major become close when a storm keeps them from leaving a remote ranch. Love grows with each day and the fondness between them blossoms.
If you enjoy sweet romance then this is a book for you. It is short and won't take long to read.

This review is from: A Cold Creek Secret. Raeanne Thayne (Paperback)
A nice and easy read, perfect as a stress reliever from the holiday hustle and bustle. Unfortunately, nothing extraordinary or memorable. but, RaeAnne is a master of the genre, producing a very well written and genuine tale.
