A Kiss to Dream on (Avon Light Contemporary Romances)

Summary: A hero who loves as any woman would want to be loved
Review: A Kiss to Dream On features a terrific hero (only slightly too good to be true) and manages to integrate a disability and political issue into the romantic storyline without detracting from the narrative. If you like issue-based romances, you ought to enjoy this one a great deal.

Since Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Jackson Puller witnessed the brutal death of a boy in Bosnia, he's been unable to shake its horror. His boss assigns him to do a series on the Wishing Star Foundation, run by Dr. Cameo Glynn.

Dr. Cameo Glynn was born deaf, but has been part of the hearing world since adulthood with the aid of a Cochlear implant. But she is haunted by the mistreatment of her parents, and a continued bad relationship with her mother, who is abusive and mentally ill. Cammy is beautiful, sterile, and does not trust journalists.

Jackson's got a wonderful way with kids, and it doesn't take long for him to win Cammy's heart, although she fights him every step of the way. But Jackson is willing to go the distance and do what he must to win her trust as well as her love. While there's much to like about this book, Cammy's stubborn reluctance to commit to Jackson eventually requires the suspension of a bit too much disbelief. Indeed, the sterility issue, so common and meaningful in historical romance, seems slightly out of place in modern times.

Overall, however, this is a fine romance and one well worth reading. And, if you didn't know it, Nessa Hart writes historical romance as Mandelyn Kaye.

Summary: I couldn't finish this book.
Review: I found this book to be long winded and boring. I couldn't finish it. When I read a romance novel I want to see love, romance and sexual chemistry --- not an unrealistic male hero chasing after an equally unrealistic disfunctional woman with too many issues.
