Rating:  Summary: A nice change of pace Review: Usually Harlequins have a bunch of characters that fall into the too stupid to live category. Most of the time the women are mentally challenged with a serious lack of maturity and the men are emotionally challenged bordering on abusive. This book was different. Everyone acted like adults and were examples of how good things can be if common sense is used. This book felt real to me and made me smile. You could see why the characters fell in love with each and looks had very little to do with it. They were good people and I felt this was a marriage destined to last unlike other Harlequins where it was a divorce waiting to happen.
Rating:  Summary: Now He Wants to Marry Her, Ten Years Later Review: When she was seventeen, Lacey Kerr spent an evening with nineteen-year-old, handsome as the devil Tully Cleaver and a baby girl, Lacey named Emma, was the result. Tully, though, not the marrying kind, to his credit contributed financially to his daughter's upbringing and saw her on weekends.Now it's ten years later and Lacey tells Tully she wants to get married and Tully is upset. He meets and grills her fiancé Julian, an attorney eleven years older than Lacey with a sixteen-year-old daughter, and, of course, he finds the man wanting. He also doesn't want anyone else raising his daugher. And wouldn't you know it, Lacey has stayed pure as virgin white snow all these ten years. Not even doing the deed with her fiancé. This I don't get, because her ex, who she is supposedly not pining away for, is a jerk. And if that weren't enough for poor Lacey, the daughter she loves so much is a spoiled brat who doesn't seem to give a wit about her mother at all. Sheesh, if Lacey were any kind of a woman at all, she'd leave the brat with the ex and head out for greener pastures, but, you know, that doesn't happen here in this romance that didn't excite me very much at all.
