Book Description

Publication Date: December 1990

Exciting. Moving. Another page-turner by the author of Aspen and Night Whispers

Bless the beasts and children…especially at Christmas!

After nearly a hundred years, there are wolves in Colorado again. And Brigitte Hartman, a field biologist working with the Fish and wildlife Service, is one of the people responsible. The reintroduction of a wolf pack to the Flat Tops Wilderness area is her job—but it's also her passion.

Local ranchers, like Steve Slater, are passionate about the project, too…though not in quite the same way. They're against it. They believe the wolves are a threat to their cattle, their livelihood.

Considering how he feels about the wolves, Steve finds that his life is complicated—to say the least—by his attraction to Brigitte. Falling for Steve complicates her life, too. Particularly when she grows close to his young daughters and begins dreaming of a family Christmas. This family. This Christmas. And a husband called Steve…

Disturbing stranger -charlotte lamb

I've no real choice, have I?" Laura asked.

As long as she could remember, Laura had loved Dr. Tom Nicol, a gentle, self-sacrificing man, dedicated to serving the needy.

Unlike him in every way was Randal Mercier--wealthy, powerful, taking what he wanted. And he wanted Laura.

Her father's embezzlement of funds from Randal's company made it impossible for Laura to refuse his marriage proposal. She knew she must marry him but she didn't have to love him.

She couldn't foresee her change of heart or the despair of knowing he was indifferent to it

My take: The hero Laura is out on night with a social worker as a way to see what her love, Dr. Tom Nicol's life is like. Well the social worker is cool towards her and makes no bones about the fact that she does not want her there. So as the two are going about the social workers rounds a car full of drunken young men swerve in front of them. Out pops our hero Randal who decides that he wants to swipe a kiss and a glove from our heroine, Laura, for some juvenile game the guys are playing. Laura was appalled when the hero's lips touched her own but oddly, aroused at the same time.

That kiss knocked Randall for one, and he makes it his business to make Laura his. With the help of the social worker, Randall is able to track down Laura. Laura "happens" to run into Randall while out walking one day. Randall asks for a date and of course, Laura turns him down. Well this only makes Randall want her more and it works to his advantage when he discovers that Laura's farther is his employee. What's more, Laura farther has been stealing money from the company for some time. I don't want to give anything else away because this book is very good book so please read it.

I give this book 4.5 stars

You may not like this book if:

1 very jealous heroes bother you

2. the hero slaps the heroine once.

This is something of a tear jerker that puts me in mind of Temptation, Harlequin Presents #310only slightly thought.
