Why this one: I’ve read quite a few of her books and except for one I wanted to throw into a mud puddle, I’ve really enjoyed everything she’s written. It seemed like a while since her last book so I was delighted to see this one. I read this one a few days before I went to Dallas
Ex-cop turned repo man John Stark is sure that hiring the furious blonde in his headlights is a colossal mistake. He knows Darcy's high-maintenance, designer-labels-only type--after all, he's used to taking their cars. But he never expected this hellion to have the smarts and the spunk to go from receptionist to repo agent in record time...or to drive him insane with desire. She's the last thing this tall, dark, and dangerous loner needs...and everything he never knew he wanted.
But instead we get to see Darcy grow as a character and become a very likeable person. And John, the owner of a repossession business is adorable as a character. Gruff as a teddy bear, rather then give in to Darcy’s neediness, he encourages her to discover the answer herself, but I always felt if worse came to worse, he would be there for her. This one provided a number of laughs too. Humor can be very subjective, but I found this one delightful.
I’m glad to see Jane Graves out with another book. This one is a delight
Forget Me Not by Marliss Melton
Why this one: I picked this one up in
This is a second-chance-at-love book mixed up with a mystery as to who is responsible for Gabe’s capture and subsequent capture.
I thought Gabe a damn fine hero. Strong yet filled with doubt, he doesn’t remember his family but he knows he wants to keep them. It makes him such a deliciously vulnerable hero. I had a few more issues with Helen. She is bound and determined to keep Gabe at a distance. She wanted her independence and didn’t want to relinquish it. I don’t blame her but as far as I could tell, it was never even an issue with Gabe – before or after his memory loss. She was also overly insistent that she wants to keep a distance from Gabe. I could kind of see this; but still I thought it went a bit overboard. But compared to how much I enjoyed this one, that’s small potatoes.
Those liking SEAL stories should add this series to the list
'til later

This one will get the kettle heated nicely
Your steam level descriptions are awesome. LOL!
The Graves sounds good. I think I've seen good feedback elsewhere. Unusually, I'm in a contemp mood. Perhaps the whole summer beach read thing?
I just finished the Graves book before meeting with Wendy and Nikki and passed my copy on to Nikki. I quite enjoyed it. Easy funny read.
I have my first Melton in my TBR. I can't remember if I found it at the UBS, B&N or if it's one of the books I scored from Wendy. You know what that means? I got too many books this month to remember where I got them all.
Rosie: You didn't get the Melton from me, because I got a copy of one of them in Dallas and it's in my TBR at the moment.
I read the 2nd book (Time To Run?) in the Melton series and liked it quite a bit - and normally I'm not much for military-themed romances. So looking forward to more by her.
I got the Graves book in Dallas - and need to get to it soon.
I have a couple Graves and I enjoyed both. So I'm putting this one on my list. The car repo story line sounds interesting. I haven't heard of Melton but it sounds good too but I like a little more steam, but I may give it a try. Always looking for a new author to try.
Ah, you nailed it. The lack of steam seems to be consistent with Warner Forever but you just can't beat their stories. That was what I was trying to say when you were here. Tongue tied lately!
