His Best Friend's Wife (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No 627)

Summary: JUST A BIT DIFFERENT - EXCELLENT
Review: An Excellently written story because Mara Rosemond, a recent widow left me feeling that there are some women who are a bit skrewy.

Her husband's best friend, Brock Barnett, offers to marry her to supply her and her unborn child with financial security and a home. A bit of a business arrangement.

Mara blames Brock for her husbands' death and she wants to hate him but, hey, why not take advantage of the security offered, especially for her child? she also refuses to acknowledge the strong attraction she feels for Brock. Running and hiding is her modus operandy.

Brock is wealthy, handsome and has lived life in the fast lane. He had beded many women with his love 'em and leave 'em mode of life. Due to his upbringing he has no idea of how to be a husband and father. Yet he seems to make a real effort at both.

I don't know of any husband who would not claim his conjugal rights if he could seduce his wife. Self restraint always pays off.

Wonderful story of Brock being there for Mara at the birth of her child - their contratempts - and their household people - and Mara's finally working through her grief. But I was still perturbed with her. Ugh!

Definitely recommended - despite the twitty women and Brock paying for his past mistakes.

Summary: SYnopsis
Review: Going to the Chapel...

Widowed and eight months pregnant, Mara Rosemond accepted rancher Brock Barnett's marriage proposal against her will. To Mara, he was a devil with black hair and bedroom eyes... her late husband's best friend...her worst nightmare.

Of Love?

Brock was a man who'd always loved a challenge..but then this daredevil discovered he hadn't known what a risk was until he had tied himself down to this ornery woman. Could Mara and baby Abby tame his heart?
