Be Mine [Paperback]

Cait Logan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 9, 1997

She dropped from the tree into his arms like a ripe peach, a fiery russet-haired beauty he wanted to devour.  But mountain man Sam Taggart came to the Recht Montana homestead to hire a housekeeper, not find a wife.  He was out to make his fortune and needed an heiress by his side, a first-rate hostess with a heart of pure ice.  Emma Recht was definitely not what he had in mind--a spirited backwoods beauty with a head for business and passion to burn...

He was tall, dark, and dangerous, the handsomest man she'd ever seen.  Emma Recht had all she could do to keep from melting in his arms.  Sam said she wasn't his kind of woman--but his burning eyes put the lie to his lips. Recklessly she agreed to follow him into the wilderness, certain she was everything he ever needed after a night of wild abandon in the darkened room of a bordello...when he thought she was someone else...

Review

Sam Taggert is a half-Indian, half-white man and for that reason alone he has to return to the ranch he grew up on. When he arrives he finds that, after his mother died, his father re-married twice again and now Sam has a half sister. Little Mary allows her feelings to be known about the way she feels concerning her new brother before he ever gets off of his horse. Sam is shocked about the condition in which everyone on the ranch has had to live and he decides to find someone to look after them. What Sam doesn't count on is the woman he's fetched for the task. Emma is more than he bargained for. Emma has a mind of her own. She wants nothing more than to seek new adventures and if she has to clean and cook to achieve her goals, she will do just that. Since she is the elder sister, however, it is up to Emma to take a husband first.... something that doesn't please younger sister Greta. Emma would be even less amused to have a husband, especially the one that her father wants her to marry. Emma's dream is to become a successful business woman and she has a plan about how it can be done. It's a good plan, all she needed was a chance. When Sam asks her to help his family, she gladly accepts just to get away and start her adventures in business. What Emma doesn't realize is how far her dream will take her, and just how much she has yet to learn about men and trust . Sam has yet to learn that Emma, with all her kindness, sweetness and business head, will not easily be dismissed from his mind or his heart. Neither could know what started out as a business transaction would lead to the adventure of a lifetime!Be Mine, is a love story with heart and soul. Emma and Sam's story is a treasure among romances guaranteed to make your heart flutter and turn you into a hopeless romantic. Cait Logan is a jewel in the crown of today's romance authors!Pamela James -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Emma and Sam are Wonderful!, June 8, 2000

By 

Shannon (Baytown, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Be Mine (Paperback)

Emma is the oldest of two daughters and has to marry first. The only problem is that she is to wed big dumb Gilbert. Sam comes back to his fathers house to confront him for the hell he put Sam thru after avenging the murder of his wife and Sams mother. Sam hires Emma to take care of things and run the household after he feels bad for his father and sees exactly what kind of situation he is in. His health and his farm are going down the drain. Emma is a ship it up and shape it out kinda gal and thoroughly revamps the house and steals Sam's heart. You'll love the action between Sam and Emma and how they come together as business partners and soul mates. Be sure to catch the part where Emma gives herself to Sam in the "marriage act" even though Sam, coming into the dark room, thinks she is a prostitute at a brothel. It will make you shimmy and shake with laughter and compassion for the both of them. A wonderful book that I really fell in love with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, sweet, romantic, April 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Be Mine (Paperback)

This was a really enjoyable book. Emma's sweetness and naiveté made me laugh. It was sweet, not corny. There was a lot that I liked in this book.
