Book Description

Series: Sawyer Family | Publication Date: March 1, 2001

Annie, Get Your Guy

What was a woman supposed to do?

Guy Donovan had always treated Annie Sawyers like a little sister. But Annie already had a brother—what she wanted was a husband. Guy, to be precise! So when he announced his plans to get engaged—to the wrong woman!—Annie set out to seduce him. Which would have been a lot easier if Guy wasn't playing hard to get...

Messing Around With Max

His love life was going to the dogs!

Max Sawyers would do anything for his mangy, bad-tempered mutt, Cleo—he'd even give up his footloose lifestyle and take a wife. The trouble was, the only woman Cleo had ever taken a liking to was Maddie Montgomery. And Maddie was also the only woman on the planet who didn't want to snag Max permanently!

4.0 out of 5 stars Double Delight, March 18, 2001

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Romantic Romp!, May 28, 2001

Lori Foster does it again! This pair of tales lets us in on the lives and loves of the Sawyers family - first Annie Sawyers goes to great lengths to snabble the love of her life, Guy Donovan. An accident, medication and a romantic hideaway all help! Then her wandering brother Max is caught at last when Maddie Montgomery crashes into his door and his heart! These stories are deceptively simple yet carefully thought-out, and I became immersed quickly and easily in the lives of these people. The sensuality is deftly smoothed into the mix and there is always humor to be found - along with a truly delightful dog with an attitude!! Don't miss this great book - it'll be a definite addition to the re-read and lend to friends section of my shelves!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the thing for those winter blahs, February 18, 2001

By

This review is from: Annie Get Your Guy/ Messing Around with Max (Paperback)

If you're looking for something to lift your spirits and chase away those winter doldrums, you only have to pick up a copy of the March Duets from Harlequin, Annie Get Your Guy & Messing Around With Max, both by Harlequin superstar, Lori Foster.

Both stories feature characters from Ms. Foster's Silhouette Desire, LITTLE MISS INNOCENT? (2/99) in leading and secondary roles. In ANNIE GET YOUR GUY, Annie Sawyers no longer desires her friend Guy Donovan in a brotherly fashion but rather in a more sensual way. When Guy announces his engagement to another woman, Annie puts a plan into work to seduce Guy and prove that she's the woman for him. If he'd only cooperate! But up against Annie and her sister-in-law, Lace (a noted sex therapist), Guy doesn't stand a chance.

In MESSING AROUND WITH MAX, the last of the Sawyers siblings get bitten by the love bug (older brother Daniel fell hard for Lace in LITTLE MISS INNOCENT?) when Maddie Montgomery runs into Max's bookstore. Literally. How could Maddie have known the glass door was shut! The store's owner, Annie Sawyers, always left it open. How could she have known Annie was away and her brother, Max, was tending the store with his dog, Cleo? Cleo, who likes no woman, takes a tentative shine to Maddie, thereby endearing her to Max. Trouble is, Maddie has no plans for marriage, despite the dog and the dog's cute owner. But when Max and Cleo team up, Maddie might as well kiss her heart goodbye, because this duo isn't about to stop until Maddie says, "Yes!"

Ms. Foster combines her trademark wit and her ability to craft hot and steamy love scenes into two delightful stories guaranteed to get your sap running and put a spring in your step.

If you haven't read LITTLE MISS INNOCENT? I recommend you do so, as it provides a good introduction to the Sawyers family and the rest of the characters.
