Four Men And A Lady (15th Anniversary) (Harlequin Temptation) [Paperback]

Alison Kent (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Temptation | Publication Date: September 1, 1999

LEADER OF THE PACK.

Ben Tannen was the undisputed leader of his group of best friends, nicknamed "The Deck." He was the Ace, of course. Heidi Malone was the Joker, and the only female among them. All four men were half in love with her—Ben maybe more than half ....

Still, there had always been a certain tension between the Golden Boy and Heidifromthewrongsideofthetracks. And when he'd offered her money for college tuition, she'd lashed out with her pride—and a bicycle chain.

Fifteen years later, Heidi still owed Ben an apology... and he still held an IOU. He planned to collect and prove to her that they'd make much better lovers than fighters.

More About the Author

Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.

In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the "Isn't It Romantic?" episode of CBS 48 Hours. That book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.

With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best "how-to" manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.

Having over thirty titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the Harlequin Blaze and Kensington Brava lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (http://www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (http://www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a Website designer.

Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her web site at http://www.alisonkent.com.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite romance theme.., February 24, 2009

This review is from: Four Men And A Lady (15th Anniversary) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

the one where they meet 15 yrs later at their class reunion. Most people don't even go to their class reunion these days.

I really had trouble relating to the heroine which makes it hard to go along with the story since we spend much of our time in her thoughts. On and on about her poor childhood to the point that it's kind of annoying. Geez, I got the point that her childhood wasn't easy. I still can't understand this story. A childhood friend offers to pay her way through college when he finds out she needs the help. Why is this so offensive? So many people would jump on this and say bless you thank you so much. I'll pay you back some day. I'll make you proud. Or just I appreciate the offer but no thanks. The way this girl reacts is freakish. Oh and come on, she's a 33 yr old virgin? Totally don't get her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Highly Recommended!!!, September 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Four Men And A Lady (15th Anniversary) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

"A scintillating novel that again proves opposites attract. Like magnets hero and heroine come together in a conflagration that threatens to set the pages of FOUR MEN AND A LADY on fire, blazing with passion and fueled with larger then life characters. A delight to read a story that features relationships based on friendship between four men and a woman. Especially when told in high school day's flashbacks that relate the insecurities, challenges, and doubts of teenagers caught in the vortex of the quantum leap from adolescents to adulthood. Written with empathy and wit, it is obvious that Alison Kent draws on life experiences and relates them in a manner that endears and edifies. Attend the reunion -- be a fly on the wall -- you don't want to miss one minute of the fun and action."
