Men Were Just Plain Inconvenient!

Jane Sparks had a business to run, and no citified doctor filled with Wild West fantasies was going to distract her. Even one as warm and handsome as Dr. Adam Hart, the only man who ever tempted her into nightly dreams of love…!

Women Were A Complete Mystery….

Miss Sparks was aptly named. The busy brunette had certainly sparked Adam Hart's interest! He'd never known a woman so capable, caring and fresh-faced beautiful in his life. And, her happy mothering of a lonely little girl made her just what the doctor ordered….

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT STORY JUST -- MAKES IT A 5 STAR MINUS, January 27, 2005

This review is from: Heart and Home (Mass Market Paperback)

Dr. Adam Hart wants to join the wild, wild west. He is engaged to the socialite, Doreena Fitzgibbon and wants to send for her as soon as he is settled.

Jane Sparks has the boarding house next door to Dr. Hart. Her grandmother is dying and she refuses to let Dr. Hart further her suffering.

She prepares a meal for about seven people, Dr. Hart included. Also included was George Pinter, the Mayor of Clyde, Kansas.
After the meal, Jane sat with her dying grandmother and unbeknownst to her, Dr. Hart cleared and cleaned the dining room and kitchen.

Jane has a strong mistrust of men in general and Dr. Hart in particular. How then can she fall into a hormonal trap and surrender?????? Not much backbone there.

Adam is pleasantly surprised at how the children cluster around Jane and her cookie jar. But he is concerned about her apparent exhaustion.

The other boarders at her house are a bit comical in their attitudes.

But, oh, is Jane angry when she finds out that Adam has squelched her request for a little girl from the orphanage train. Peggy was an adorable child and always trying to hide. She was waiting for her "Nonnie" to come for her.

Then the little smart-mouthed Johnny showed up and soon Jane and Adam has a family started. Oh, did I forget, Doreena renigged and found someone else.

Thoroughly enjoyable story - well worth reading.

This review is from: Heart And Home (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

I just finished the book yesterday and I couldnt put it down. Its a great story of Love, honesty and trust. When Dr. Hart arrives in the west he is lonely since his fiancee has stayed in the East. His yearning for friendship and companionship drives him to the bording house where he and the owner Jane Sparks Form a close friendship. Where the story goes from there is on a long adventure of mixed emotions and torn trusts. When the Children from Children's Aid arrive looking for a home things really get moving. A must read for anyone who loves a great book!
