Rating:  Summary: Virginia Kantra - keep writing those incredible heros! Review: Virginia Kantra's third Silhouette Intimate Moment, The Comeback of Con MacNeill, is the second in the MacNeill brothers series started in her last book, The Passion of Patrick MacNeill. Don't miss this book - these MacNeill brothers are true hero material and Virginia's stories are riveting.Con MacNeill is a driven, professional businessman. When his engagement and career path take unexpected turns in Boston, he decides to take some time working for himself as a consultant until he makes his comeback into the material world he knows best. In his capacity as a business analyst, he is hired by Edward Cutler, banker and namesake of the founding family in Cutler, North Carolina. Cutler wants Con to make a success of his daughter's vegetarian restaurant, although Val Cutler is less than enthusiastic about accepting his help. The mystery behind Val's business problems is simple enough for Con to uncover. But the emotional outgrowth of their working together both to save Val's business and to save her best friend from an abusive, controlling husband, is enough to keep readers turning pages. I was not only drawn into the story, but captivated by the characters and unwilling to put this book down until it was finished - in one sitting! As much as I loved Patrick MacNeill's story, Con's is much more compelling and absorbing. Don't miss these MacNeill brothers, including the third brother yet to come. Virginia is a talented new SIM author and definitely one to watch!

Rating:  Summary: Another winner! Review: Virginia Kantra's writing is, quite simply, extraordinary. Humor, tenderness, action, sizzling sensuality -- this story has it all, and then some. With vivid, evocative prose, the author creates characters whose heartbeats become the reader's own. While sexual tension shimmers throughout THE COMEBACK OF CON MACNEILL, not once does it seem artificial or contrived, but rather a natural, explosive reaction between two brilliantly crafted characters. And her ability to tightly interweave the romance with other aspects of the plot is unsurpassed. Brava!
