It all started as a joke. Sabina was only PRETENDING to be engaged to her best friend, millionaire Al Thorndon. Al had talked her into thie scheme as a way to trick his older brother, Thorn. Al had no choice but to lie. And to make Sabina his accomplice.

Sabina thought that it would be for just one night. When Thorn accused her of being a gold digger, Sabina just laughed it off. She sisn't think of the repercussions--that Thorn would dig up her long-buried secrets. Revealing them now would destroy everything she'd worked so hard to put behind her. But she coucln't let her best friend down, could she?

2 for 1 stories. About Angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy. A cute plot but a bit far fetched with all the talking with Gabriel (head angel in heaven). Light reading.

And then Danny's father was killed in an accident, and Matt, an ill-prepared bachelor, vowed before God to love and protect this child as his own. Dannny's mother, Leah Hunter, had been desperately searching for her baby for eight years-every since his father snatched him. At last, a clue leads her to the small town of Rosewood, Texas...and her son's guardian

2 quick stories with similar story lines. Both women go after a man "just for one night" and the romance begins. I found them a bit farfetched but humorous.

Surprised and flattered by her first encounters with mailes in adult society, Catherine is quickly swept off her feet.

Child of Mine (Rosewood, Texas, Bk 2) (Love Inspired, No 348) (Larger Print)
Review Date: 2/7/2007


Sheriff Kurt Mulldoon had moved to a home out of town to get away from meddling townspeople and attractive women, but one of each was standing on his front porch. It seemed ninety-year-old Miss Cora, his house's previous owner, had convinced the one woman who piqued Kurt's facey, April Shelnutt, to take her for a visit. And not long after they arrived, Cora suffered an injury-to her back side. Kurt's neighborly duty meant he'd offer his help, and let them into his home. But he wasn't letting April into his heart, no matter how pretty-and right-she looked standing in his doorway.

First in the FIRSTBORN series. The story of Dayne (the moviestar) and Katy (the small town girl). Just enough mystery/suspense to keep you going with a touch of romance but don't read the book waiting for the happy ending. This is a series and there is no ending just a build up for the next book.

This is a quick read of light and funny stories with great history as well. The historical aspect of World War 2 is very interesting and, unfortuneatly, believable. The 3 stories are intertwined by the 3 grandmothers and 3 granddaughters, making it fun to go from one story to the next.

Light reading but an engaging story. Realistic plot/mystery and the romance isn't a rushed "love-at-first-sight". It was refreshing to have a hero who was not rich and handsome for a change. Poor & handsome is rare.
