Rating: Summary: Double Delight Review: Lori Foster has delivered again with her March double DUETS. What a treat readers are in for by getting this two in one romantic comedy book.
Annie, Get Your Guy and Messing Around With Max are two stories that I have been waiting for since I read Little Miss Innocent? They tell the romantic tales of the Sawyers siblings, Annie and Max. Annie is in love with family friend Guy Donovan and he is attracted to her. But he does not want to jeopardize a family friendship to pursue it. But Annie has other ideas. After she gets Guy to a secluded cabin, the fireworks begin that are a trademark of a Foster book. I hated to see the interlude at the cabin end.
Max's story involves a woman-hating dog and the woman (Maddie) who wins not only his heart, but that of the dog. The secondary characters are a delight to read, as they are funny and add to the story. The relationship between Max and Maddie is steamy and endearingly funny, another Foster trademark.
If you are looking for a book that is lightheartedly funny and sexy, then pick this one up.
Rating: Summary: Annie Get Your Guy and Messing Around With Max DUETS Review: Lori Foster's books are filled with witty humor, fiesty heroines, incredibly sexy heroes, and sometimes-meddling, loving family. ANNIE GET YOUR GUY and MESSING AROUND WITH MAX, her Harlequin DUETS March release is no exception to that great formula. Her books catch your attention from the first sentence and you're hooked --- you can't stop reading until the end of the book! ANNIE GET YOUR GUY has a fiesty, yet innocent, heroine Annie Sawyers who is determined to make family friend Guy Donovan realize she's the one for him. Trouble is Guy has always kept her at arms length, treating her like a sister. Desperate, Annie enlists sis-in-law Lace's help, acquiring various books on sex, and sets out to seduce Guy. Events happen that help Annie get Guy right where she wants him, and she takes advantage of the situation to drive Guy straight into her arms. Guy never stands a chance against her! I found myself laughing all the way through, cheering her on, and as impatient as she was, at the same time. MESSING AROUND WITH MAX has Annie's Lothario brother Max Sawyers finally ready to settle down and get married. He's got one strange condition for the woman he chooses: She has to be approved by his neurotic, eccentric mutt Cleo! He thinks Maddie Montgomery is the perfect candidate, but Maddie is determined that marriage isnt in her near future. Maddie does want something from Max though: she wants him to educate her in the luring ways of sex! With both hero and heroine having seperate agendas, you just know there's going to be lots of comical -yet sexual tension happening. Then, I got to wondering if sneaky Cleo didnt have this mind all along...first he found his owner, then he finds his owner the perfect wife. You'll love BOTH stories in this DUETS; I would recommend them to anyone who has never read a Lori Foster book. All those that have, already know what a 'gem' each book is! Definite keepers!
Rating: Summary: Lori Foster is the Goddess of Smutty Romance! Review: That's not a bad thing. I think this book was wonderful. The first story, Annie Get Your Guy, was sweet, romantic, very romantic, and also very...explicit, which is always a plus. The second story had more sex scenes, and was also very funny, but the story line was hard to swallow (no pun intended). It seemed as if they got engaged 2 weeks after they met, which was ridiculous because most of what they did together didn't include conversation. However, this is one of my favorite romance novels. I'm looking for more authors like her, so if you know any with her kind of romance writing, please e-mail me at angelqko@aol.com
