Several weeks ago I read What Nathan Wants, written by Ruth Ann Nordin, an independent author. I would like to say that Nathan doesn’t fit the stereotypical male of what he wants, he expects to get. I would like to say that, but I can’t. He’s a guy who operates under the mantra, “If I want it, it’s mine.” Nathan Rudolf is a wealthy travel agency owner in Omaha, Nebraska, who brings his business decision skills into play when it comes to whom to marry and have a family. The heroine, Amy Watson, is a woman who is content to keep her world on an even keel. She isn’t looking for a relationship, a husband, or a family. Nathan uses an old-fashioned ploy, plus enlisting her family and friends, to force Amy out of her world. In response, Amy takes a strong stand for herself to help Nathan realize that marriage isn’t a business. A contemporary romance with a familiar plot line, What Nathan Wants is a quick read that moves at a good pace. Overall, the book is a pleasurable read. The characters are believable and likable, except for the villainess, but who ever likes her? The ending chapters are happily-ever-after, but include real life, too. The author self-describes the book as rated R. Don’t let that stop you from reading this book. The few scenes of married intimacy can easily be skipped by clicking NEXT PAGE a couple of times.
Ooh, what fun Snicket is! I rarely laugh out loud when I read, however, this unfortunately awesome series had me constantly in stitches! I wish--WISH--there were more!!!
Alec and Jamie Kincaid's book. I loved this book with all my heart. I was grinning the entire time I read this book. In fact, my cheeks hurt. Not that it was laugh out loud funny, but I loved the conversations and the banter between Alec and Jamie so much. I think the main reason I loved this book so much is that there wasn't this huge conflict from the beginning of the book that took the entire time to solve and then they were married, expecting a baby and The End. I am so sick of that as the staple for romance. Instead, I got to experience Alec and Jamie marrying for duty (even though there was an attraction) and the rest of the book was them adjusting to their married life. Alec was Scot and Jamie was English. Since Jamie moved with Alec to the Highlands, it was truly enjoyable reading all about her trying to settle. I just adored them as a couple. I liked them both so much. There was no whiny stupid miscommunications or dramatic immature plot line. I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what they were going to do next. Huge recommended read for any of my friends who have not yet read it.
