Search - Lead Me On

I've read all three in this series... Talk Me Down, Start Me Up, and this one (Lead Me On). It is hard to choose a favorite... I loved them all. This one has a good story line which involves getting over things from the past- it was well done, although I do agree that the heroine does seem to hesitate for quite a long time about making a commitment! I really like Victoria Dahl's contemporaries... she has an easy-to-read writing style, and her characters are very likable. Her books are steamy without being "over-the-top descriptive", and I like how her characters' passion seems believable. Her books are definitely not for someone who likes a "chaste" romance, but if you like a little heat, you'll like her books! I will definitely look for anything new she comes out with, and I'm going to have to check out her Regency-style romances now.

Hot read about a quiet, prim and proper Jane Morgan. Jane is torn between keeping her image and showing her true bad girl side especially after she meets the very yummy Chase. The third book revolving around people in the area of Tumble Creek, Colorado.

This book was a fun read. There were many times I was smiling or frowning rolling my eyes. As one other review said, there are times when you want to kick the main character Jane but owns her opinions, right or wrong and while she has her reasons, she doesn't make excuses. She was an appropriate man and while I don't share her issues with tattoos she is certainly not alone in her bias opinions (in the book or the real world). It was a quick read and hard to put down.

I was really hoping this book can save my opinion of Dahl because when I read the first book (Talk Me Down), I thought I had found a hilarious, fun new writer to read. Well, very much like the second book it was a bit of a disappointment. It wasn't a horrible book. It was a quick and easy read. As a standalone I would have liked it more but not in lieu with the other two in the series. The three books were just too similar (girl wants a fling and fights agaist a real relationship but still gets more at the end). In series, I really don't want a cookie cutter theme with just little changes here and there. I ended up feeling like I could have just read one of the books and that would have been enough.

I really liked both characters and I liked the fact that it wasn't a mystery to solve like the other two but a court case. In fact, I think I was more into the court case then the romance.

The romance got old after a while because Jane treated Chase so badly. At least it was consistent in Chase's character to be forgiving since he has been codependent most of his life. Jane also had the same self-esteem issue as Lori from the second book (I'm not good enough for anyone attitude). It was redundant since I read in in the other two novels.

One great save for the book was Jane's relationship with her family. I thought Dahl did a really nice job of presenting both sides of the picture and the way Jane went about gaining resolution was beautifully done.

If you have never read Dahl, you would probably like this book (or if you don't mind reading the same thing over and over again). Otherwise, it wasn't bad if you have nothing else to read but not so great that you have to go out and get it right now.

I liked this one...the 3rd book by this author. I enjoyed the first one, not the second one as much, but enjoyed this one. It has much more development of the main character, steamy hot romance steams, and an actual storyline that ties in nicely. Great book!
