Anne Marie Winston (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: March 1, 2002

Stone Lachlan never thought marriage—especially one of convenience!—would be this complex. After all, he and Faith Harrell had agreed to marry for purely practical reasons, so there should be no question about the terms of their "relationship." But resisting a young woman as appealing as Faith was like trying to win a war without any weapons. And it seemed the harder they fought not to fall in love, the closer they came to losing the battle....

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic series romance, May 29, 2002

This review is from: Billionaire Bachelors: Garrett (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

Attention alpha male fans! If you love a gorgeous, arrogant hero who gets his comeuppance but good from a fiesty, misunderstood heroine, this one's for you. Although there's nothing new in the plotline, Ms. Winston creates strong tension between her characters and keeps it up to the very end of the book. Sexy and fast-paced. Shades of Diana Palmer and Linda Howard.

This review is from: Billionaire Bachelors: Ryan (The Baby Bank) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

Tabloids announce Ryan Shughnessy as an "eminently available hunk," resulting in single women with the appropriate breeding frequently introducing themselves. Jessie Reilly scoffs during their monthly lunch, musing who would have ever "thought the skinny kid next door would grow up to be an `eminently available hunk?'" Ryan does not intend to stay single long, however, when he learns of Jessie's plans regarding artificial insemination. Her biological clock is ticking and Mr. Right has neglected to put in an appearance.

Ryan has always wanted children, but gave up the possibility when his wife was unable to become pregnant. Now widowed, he finds the idea of Jessie turning to a sperm bank incomprehensible. So he persuades her that they have the same goals in life. If she wants a child, he'll provide the sperm. When she makes it through the first trimester, then they will get married. Seems simple enough, until emotional ramifications set in -- extreme morning sickness, as well as the usual challenges when two people are wild about one another, but neither being willing to become vulnerable enough to share their feelings.

BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS: RYAN begins with a bang, but ends with a gurgle. The premise of two friends marrying to have children via artificial insemination makes for a fascinating premise. However, I'm unconvinced with how this plot plays out. This couple agrees that they want a real marriage complete with sex. She needs a loan from a bank to expand and keep with the competition, admitting that if she didn't have to spend the money at the clinic, she could afford to expand her gallery. Now, if they know they are going to bed together, they agree they are going to get married when she gets pregnant, and they know that they both want children, why in the world go through the whole artificial insemination process? Nevertheless, Anne Marie Winston is a gifted author, with a crisp writing style and believable dialogue. Her characterizations are delightful, especially the gay houseman. As a result, I still recommend BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS: RYAN.

4.0 out of 5 stars slow paced but good, February 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Billionaire Bachelors: Gray (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)

I didn't think I would like this book at first because I couldn't relate to Catherine at all. She seemed a little too upper class perfect at first. However, Gray was an absolute dream. In fact it was hard to believe that at the age of 32 nobody had snapped him up. Not very much history was given about Gray but since this is a Silhouette Romance and not War and Peace that's not that big an issue. I loved the interactions between Catherine and Gray and the slow build of the romance which culminated in some very steamy sex scenes! I also liked the fact there were no bad guys in this book. All in all this was a slow paced but likable book. I'm glad I read it.
