Book Description

An easy mistake ?You?d better go inside,? he said. She glanced around, fumbling with her night dress nervously, but she made no move to follow his suggestion. ?I?m wide awake. Maybe we could talk some more.? ?Talk about what?? Her gaze wouldn?t meet his. ?Mistakes,? she answered, chewing her bottom lip in a manner he?d come to recognize. She was wrestling with something, but whatever it was, his own struggle was worse. The longer she stood before him, the harder it was to refrain from touching her. ?You want to talk about mistakes?? he asked. ?How about the one you?re making right now?? She lifted her gaze abruptly. ?What mistake?? she whispered, and her lips looked so petal soft, so tempting, he had to turn away from her. ?I want to take you in my arms, to kiss you,? he answered bluntly. ?And if you don?t go, I am going to, whether you ask me to or not.?

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE FOR MY KEEPER SHELF, May 31 2000
By "zorraa" (Lawrence, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This was one of the most inventive and entertaining romances I have read in ages. I almost dropped this book in the tub the heat between the hero and heroine was sooo hot. Then, waiting to see what happened in the end kept me reading half the night. A perfect resolution to a delightful tale - you will love it.

I hope Thompson keeps her wonderful romances coming, because I have read every one and can't wait for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Highly Recommended, May 30 2000
Loreen Matland has a plan. In order to raise enough money toget them away from Miller's Passing, she and her younger siblings needhelp. So she places and ad for a husband in the Ft. Worth paper, with the terms being he helps her raise enough money to go back east, and he gets the farm. But he can't be good-looking. She'd had her fill of the distrustful schemes good-looking men employed. When Jake Winslow takes her up on her offer, she goes against her better judgement and agrees to the marriage out of desperation.

Jake Winslow had expected more of a place when he answered the woman's ad, and he darn sure never expected a built -in family. Ready to ride on, he changes his mind when confronted with the enormity of challenges facing this beautiful, determined woman who was definitely more than met the eye. Besides, he needed to disappear, and this wide spot in the road was a seemingly easy place to do so. He would fulfill his part of the bargain, and once the Matlands moved out, he'd continue his plan to live a solitary life.

Neither Loreen nor Jake counts on falling in love. But as their feelings grow, each feels trapped tighter in their respective pasts. Both wonder if second chances are possible. Would their love survive once truths are revealed?

This story is heartwarming. The characters are vivid, and their growth is seen readily throughout the novel. At first the reader is led to believe Loreen is too soft on her brother, but as the story progresses she handles him well as her confidence grows. The subtle parallel brought forth in the plot between Loreen and a creature that comes into their care that has been mistreated is handled deftly. Jake's courage is to be admired, besides, he sounds scrumptious! END
