Rating:  Summary: I?m in the minority here, but I have to speak up. Review: (First of all this review is for Sawyer's story only. By the time I finished the first book, I felt so relieved that I haven't been able to bring myself to pick up Morgan's story yet.)OK, I really enjoyed Lori Foster's Winston brothers' series. So I automatically grabbed this book anxious to learn about a new "Foster Family". Sure the brothers are smart, sexy, and sensitive and seem fun to be around, but the female in this book made me ill. Honey shows up out of the blue, and 2 days after waking up from a concussion & bronchitis she is telling the teenager to put on sunscreen AND automatically assumes control of the kitchen. If I had found myself in a strangers' home, ill and supposedly frightened for my life, the LAST thing that I would be doing is cooking meals and lecturing the people who have been nice enough to take me into their home. This is a woman who has been dominated by both her father and her ex-boyfriend and so it is not as if assertiveness with men has been in her nature. Sure if some sexy doctor plucked me from certain death, takes me into his fantastic home and wants to make passionate love to me, I am there; but not with his curious teenager and 3 other brothers watching every move. This one was a HUGE disappointment to me.

Rating:  Summary: I have to agree with Reviewer who asked: "Huh?" Review: ... The brothers all seemed so "perfect." No one dropped out of school, got into any trouble, noble enough to take care of another man's child, blah, blah. The 2 women in the book were kind of slutty if you ask me. The first sister sleeps with a brother who (while he did saved her from the lake) she knew for about 2 pages! The other sister sleeps with the sheriff and she's already pregnant with another man's baby. Meanwhile, a teen-ager is growing up in the house with all this going on i.e., unmarried people sleeping together (one his own father), unwed mothers running around, women being grabbed and told what to do with their lives. Give me a break. You can't have it both ways. It's either a love story or a book full of scandals. Also, not only were the 2 sisters made into sluts, they also didn't seem to have a brain to fill ONE head, much less 2. The first sister was running away from an abusive relationship, only to fall into bed with a man who feared commitment and the second sister was not only pregnant out of wedlock, but homeless as well! Sorry, I'm not buying it. I'm all for the "knight in shining amour" thing, but this is over the top! I only hope that the other 2 brothers find women who have something upstairs besides big hair and big boobs!

Rating:  Summary: Once and Again Review: Buckhorn county's sexiest brothers are back. Are they ever. What an enjoyable read. Sawyer and Morgn are men to die for. And their woman (Honey and Misty) are just as strong. It was a joy reading them the first time but even better the second time around. You can not go wrong with a Lori Foster book.

Rating:  Summary: An excellent read! Review: I have recently discovered Lori Foster's books. I must say, I really like her style. I've read a lot of romances over the years but there are few authors who can give us a terrific romance and at the same time show us a positive family situation where humor, warmth, and caring play such a large part in the story. I really enjoyed Once and Again. The guys were terrific, heroines sympathetic, and the book was well worth my time. Lori's an author I actively look for now, and I am looking forward to her future releases! If you decide to give her books a try, I think you'll really like them.
Rating:  Summary: Ms. Foster has written another keeper. Review: I'm excited about this book because it has two of the four Buckhorn brothers in it. I love this series because there are four brothers, each different in temperament as well as looks. They each have a different path in life that suits them but each one has great qualities that are very much a like. They all have a strong sense of family and a gentleness that makes them the very best of heroes. Sawyer is a small town doctor with a teenage son. Honey is sick and running scared. She's afraid to trust anyone, until she meets the Buckhorn brothers. It was so exciting to read how Honey reacts to the brothers and especially Sawyer. Morgan is the small town sheriff full of attitude. Misty has a few problems of her own when she comes to town for Honey's wedding. Boy was it exciting and funny to read how Morgan's attitude played with Misty. Misty like Honey wasn't familiar with a loving and generous family. Leave it to the Buckhorn brothers to embrace both sisters and show them what real men can be like. These stories are full of fun and sensual romance just like all of Mrs. Foster's books. I know you will want to read all the brother's stories so you too can try to pick a favorite brother. Gabe and Jordan will appear in 'Forever & Always' in September.
Rating:  Summary: Love the Buckhorn brothers! Review: If you didn't have the chance to read about Gabe (my personal favorite brother) Sawyer, Jordan, and Morgan (another great guy) then this is your chance. Lori Foster creates a wonderful family with these brothers. Not only are the stories highly sensual and sexy, but they are just good all around reads. The next two brothers come out in August. I'm not going to give much away here, but the stories are so much more than romance. They are filled with family, laughter, quirkiness, and love. Lori Foster has been one of my favorite authors for several years and with the Buckhorn brothers, she proves once again why she is so popular with romance readers. So, like I said, if you haven't had the chance to read about the Buckhorn brothers, pick these books up as soon as possible. You won't regret it.
Rating:  Summary: Huh? Review: Okay, this is just my personal opinion, so calm down girls. I just don't understand all the gushing...this book was really boring, trite, and contrived. I won't outline the book as many descriptions are already posted all over this review page. What I found most dissatisfying about the book were the heroes. I mean, they were just so perfect: great looking, great house (which the brothers all lived in together), they cook and clean, do the laundry, blah, blah, blah. The heroines were just annoying. There was no real story, only page-fillers to show what great guys these brothers were. The first Lori Foster book that I ever read was TOO MUCH TEMPTATION and I really liked it. Unfortunately, all the books she wrote before TMT (this book is a reissue and written a couple of years before TMT) are lukewarm with weak plots and character development. I guess since I started with TMT, I expect all her books to be...well...HOT! This book lacks even that as I didn't really care about any of the characters. To give you some idea of my taste to compare to your own so that you can see whether or not my review is reliable to you, I will list recent romance novels that I have read and enjoyed: *Dying to Please - Linda Howard *Lady Sophia's Lover - Lisa Kleypas *Fast Women - Jennifer Crusie *Beyond Seduction - Emma Holly (wear asbestos gloves while reading this one!)
