Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm In Love With Jordan
Review: I'm not going to recap a synopsis, because they've already been done. I will say that I'm so totally in love with Jordan that it's a cryin' shame he's not real, because if he was, I'd grab him and keep him for myself. Lori Foster writes the best characters. Her people are so real, that it's really hard to have to read the end, because you want the book to go on and on. She does this with all her books. I'm a big fan.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jordan by Lori Foster
Review: Jordan is the fourth installment om the Buckhorn County Brother series by Lori Foster and in my opinion the best one. Jordan is the county vet who is also a very serious and has certain ideas on the perfect woman. Georgia is a single mom trying to make ends meet and does not want to get involved with another man. Jordan and Georgia meet at the bar and there is an instant attraction that they fight at all costs. There is a also a secondary romance featuring Casey and you get to revisit with the sexy brothers all over again. I highly recommend Jordan and hope that there will be more Buckhorn County books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Jordan was determined that he and his associates would convince the owner of The Swine, a rundown bar just across the county line, to institute a drink limit. He didn't expect to be mesmerized, however, by the live entertainment. As Jordan watched the sexy Georgia Barnes dance for the low class men of the renovated barn, he found himself held spell bound by an attraction so intense, so powerful, that he started a fight just because another man touched her. Never mind that Georgia was quiet experienced at fending off unwanted attention.

Georgia has no need of the clean cut, obviously not fitting-in man, who rushes to her defense. As other men tossed back drink after drink and flung cash at her feet they could ill afford, this one was different. And she didn't need different. In fact, she didn't need, and definitely didn't want, a man in her life -- especially a man who sips soda and steps in where other men would walk away. Georgia has convinced herself that she cannnot afford the time nor the emotional energy it takes for a relationship. Further, she fiercely guards her independence while fulfilling her responsibilities to her two young children and ill mother. Besides, her ex-husband taught her everything she ever wanted to know about men, and she's not interested in any more painful lessons.

Lori Foster presents a refreshing clash of backgrounds in Jordan and Georgia. While Jordan comes from a well-respected family in their small town, Georgia is new, not social, and had her first child at sixteen. Jordan is a vet and Georgia is an exotic dancer. Yet the intense attraction pulls these unlikely people together in an exciting, entertaining clash certain to entertain romance lovers. Foster creates a passionate, tension filled plot that is uniquely inventive. Indeed, the balance of walking on the wild side while maintaining integrity is a difficult mixture and a huge success with JORDAN. I highly recommend JORDAN.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Eh. It was OK.
Review: The story and writing was quite competent, and I thought this was a nice tale in many ways. The main characters were engaging, the secondary characters (Jordan's brothers) were likeable. The plot moved along well and there was enough drama and conflict to make it a fairly interesting read.

Frankly, however, this book did not stand out as being all that remarkable or unique compared to other books in this genre. The thing that I believe made it distinctive was the *very* explicit (compared to other Harlequins) sex scenes. Very. Explicit.

Some readers who are not familiar with Foster's writing may be offended by her extremely spicy love scenes, others may not. In fact, most likely this writer is well-known for her explicit love scenes, and this may contribute to her apparent popularity -- though I confess I am not that familiar with her work (this was my first Lori Foster book).

To readers who could take or leave the explicit sex scenes (I consider myself in that category) then this is not the best choice in Harlequin Romances. There are far better writers (in my opinion) in this romance genre. However, for readers who enjoy the hot sex scenes and don't mind if the plot is only somewhat above average, this would be a good choice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Series Finish
Review: With "Jordan," Lori Foster pens a fitting finish to what has been a great summer series featuring 4 brothers from Buckhorn County and the women who win their hearts.

Jordan Sommerville, the area vet, is a man on a mission, the night he walks into the bar, bent on talking the owner into being more responsible with dispensing liquor. Before he gets the chance to speak one word to the owner, his attention and mission take a side-road as the floor show starts and Jordan finds himself staring at the woman who will be his wife. He just doesn't know it yet. At the moment, all he can think is that he's seen bathing suits that covered more than the scraps of cloth the exotic dancer on stage wore.

Georgia Barnes, 23 and mom to two, uses her dancing skills to earn money to support her children and her mother. The skimpy outfits the bar owner demands she wear mortifies her but does add money in tips to feed and clothe her children and pay for repairs on the house. And she doesn't take too kindly to Jordan barging in and basically taking over her life and quite possibly getting her place of employment shut down.

In this, the last of the Buckhorn Brothers series, Ms. Foster's trademark wit, knack for dialogue and sizzling sexual tension are clearly evident in this story that spotlights the last bachelor and brings in the whole extended family one last time. Once again, we are invited to look on as the four brothers clown around, pick on Jordan unmercifully but are there with the degree of love and support that has been evident throughout the whole series. And anyone with children, who knows how the little ones love to mimic what they hear their parents say, will laugh at the antics of Amber, her dad (Morgan) and her uncle Sawyer as she parrots a few choice words, much to the men's dismay.

If you have not had the chance to read "Sawyer", "Morgan", "Gabe" or "Jordan," you're missing some terrific reading. Fortunately, they are still available, so pack them in your bag to take on vacation.

And thanks, Lori, for giving me a summer of wonderful men.
