GREENHORN HEART

Blurb:

At her dying mother’s bedside, Jolene Norris promised that she would keep her baby sister safe from her money hungry aunt and uncle. Unfortunately, keeping that promise is proving a lot more difficult than Jolene thought, and she needs help. Her aunt is out to prove that Jolene is unfit and at the very least unstable to take care of her sister, forcing Jolene to seek Seth Morgan’s help. She needs his home, his land, and his name. Too bad he’s as welcoming as the bulls he raises. Scared that she’ll lose her sister, Jolene makes Seth a deal he can’t refuse.

Seth doesn't have time to take care of a petite woman who is as green as her eyes or the small drooling complication on her hip. He doesn't do babies or marriage, not after his ex-wife killed herself and their three-year-old son. But he desperately needs the money Jolene offers him.

Together they arrange a marriage of convenience, which quickly becomes so much more.

Review for Holding On.

Thank you Bec for the great review!

Holding On was a really captivating story from the beginning with the way
it introduced Brandi and her baby. The sex scenes were hot, and the love between Dex and Brandi was unmistakable through the writer's words.

Overall, Holding On was a great short story and the first I've read by this
author. However, it won't be my last. Well done, Ms. Thomas.

REVIEW BY THE ROMANCE STUDIO

Mad About Maddie

Sherri Thomas
Contemporary romance
Available from
Liquid
Silver Books
ISBN: 978-1-59578-851-1
July 2011

Maddie and Jake don't get along well at all at first. Maddie feels the chemistry and the draw with Jake but wants nothing to do with men after her ex-boyfriend. Their first meeting does not go smoothly at all. Jake gets on Maddie's bad side when he pulls her off of a horse that she has tamed. Jake didn't know he shouldn't have but that doesn't matter to Maddie. Jake is intrigued by Maddie and the different techniques that she's using to tame the horses. Jake starts to pursue her somewhat and Maddie starts to give in to him but repeatedly pulls back. Maddie and Jake are great characters. Maddie was in an abusive relationship and is dealing with all of the changes and repercussions of that. It was years ago but it is still a big factor in her life. Jake has his own jaded past to deal with but he seems to be more open. I love the way that Maddie and Jake interact. Their personalities match very well. They have a lot in common once they actually get to know each other. This story is believable though it does move a little fast for actual reality. Nothing pulled me from the story when I was reading. The characters are very human. I found the dialogue very entertaining and befitting the story. The sex was written well. It takes up very little of the story because of the situation and Maddie's past. It is full of emotion though. The characters are definitely in a relationship when they make love. I enjoyed reading it and what it added to the story. There was a depth of emotion added to this story that draws the reader in because of what has happened in both of Maddie and Jake's past. Both have baggage that affects them but they work through it. I enjoyed this story and the characters. Overall rating: Sensuality rating: Explicit Reviewer: Lexee July 30, 2010
