Summary: Jordan should stick to England
Review: Although I've really enjoyed the other books in this series, this one left me frustrated and wanting to throw things! Jordan confuses American states and counties, apparently believing that a state Governor is the head of a county, and that he need not be a citizen of said county/state. She has Americans talking about it being hot at 35 degrees (for those of you outside the USA, we generally give temperatures in Fahrenheit, in which case 35 degrees would be quite cold). She has Samantha going shopping (in America) for "french knickers" rather than panties. Since I've never lived in England, I can assume she gets that right - after all, she does live there. Note: I would imagine that readers in England/Canada/France/Italy/etc. often have the same reaction to American writers who "get it wrong" about their countries. The moral? Writers should stick to what they know or have at least researched thoroughly!

Summary: Another Penny Jordan classic
Review: Self conscious Samantha,(because of her height, 6 feet to be exact), is unsure of her feminity. Ridiculed by most men, she's in search of a 'perfect father' to give her a child, partly to prove her womanhood to the world, and partly because her biological clock has kicked in. So off she goes to England, from America, to try and meet some distant Crighton male relative (who, by the way, are all very sexy men known for their virile Crighton genes) to give her a child. Yup, in case you're wondering, this is a book in the 'Crighton' series, about a large family legacy, and their loves and lives. Anyway, she leaves, leaving behind her crush since youth, Liam, her father's assistant since her childhood and long time family friend. He never showed interest in her as a woman, but after Samantha's departure, Liam suddenly longs to be the father. The rest of the story is about Liam following her to England, and the both of them discovering each other as man and woman, not brother and sister or long time friends. Story is great, plot is great, people are great, and best is the attraction. Couldn't get a better book than that even if I had written it myself.
