Summary: Easy Read
Review: Brant Asher is an American football star who has just inherited the title of Viscount Asherwood. In order to inherit the house as well as the money, he has to marry Daphne, his VERY distant cousin. The problem is that neither one ever wants to marry, especially not each other. Afterall, he's an American and rude and has no manners. She's very English and stiff laced and proper. Until they DO marry and fall in love. Even though this is a contemporary, it reads like a historical with it's setting mostly in England and it's romance. I really loved this book, as well as everything that Catherine writes. Do try this, I think you'll like it!

Summary: Put the book down slowly on the ground and back away
Review: Catherine Coulter is one of my favorite romance authors, but this book has to be the worst she's written in terms of plot and character. Her 'hero' is actually cruel at one point. Throughout the book, in the guise of being a 'real man', he expects the 'heroine' to do all the compromising and sacrificing while he feels noble for actually loving and marrying her. And she accepts it! I had to read this book twice just to be sure I actually remembered how awful it really is. Never again.
To top it off, it's like Ms. Coulter dashed this off in a weekend and called it good. No emotional investment in the characters, no clear resolution of conflicts. I seldom meet a book I don't like, but this is one of them.

Summary: Funny and Enjoyable!
Review: I have read almost all of Catherine Coulture's books and this is one that I went out and bought even though I had already read it just so I could have it to read again. I usually do not like reading books that have football in them because I'm not that much of a sports fan, but this one was great. If you like this one I suggest Impulsive by Catherine Hart, that had football in it too and kept me laughing through the whole book.

Review: I liked it. It was short and sweet

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was deeply disappointed when Ms. Coulter used the phrase spoken by Brant on page 107 of the paperback version: "He wanted to tell her that Daphne wasn't retarded but she was sliding her hands up his arms to lightly clasp his shoulders." As a parent of a child with a disability I find this passage to be very offending. It is perpetuating the word "retarded" to be used as an offensive phrase. It is as bad as using the "N" word and I am hoping that Ms. Coulter refrains from perpetuating the common use of "retard" and "retarded" as acceptable forms of derogation.

Summary: Not too good, but not horrible, either
Review: I'm usually a fan of books like this one, but I just could not get into it. I eventually finished it, but not before developing a major dislike for one of the main characters - Brant Asher. Yuck. He symbolized everything I don't like about some men - mostly his arrogance and obsession with sports. If they hadn't been fixing up that beautiful English home, I would have been really lost... Sorry - just not my idea of an enjoyable read.
