I have really enjoyed Janet Dailey's category romances, the romance build-up, the wonderful, strong heroes---but this book was a letdown. Brock Canfield comes across immediately as a sleaze, kissing and fondling our witless heroine, Stephanie, moments after meeting her, while his girlfriend is in the next room! He treats his girlfriend with contempt, which should give Stephanie a clue as to how he'd treat her eventually. Stephanie lets him know at once she'd do anything for him, and all this after just one day together. He paws Stephanie on the dance floor while his girlfriend is sitting in a booth right there. Yet Stephanie questions nothing. All she wants is Brock. It is incomprehensible why he is interested in her, other than as a challenge to get a virgin into bed. This book is not romantic at all. How can it be when it's not possible to have any respect for the hero or heroine?

Can her devoted love conque his fierce independence?? Brock Canfield is a fiery, self-willed man, determined to have his own way. Stephanie too is determiend - to have Brock. His staunch independence hurts her. He wants to travel, to move from one glamorous city to the next, and to have his woman waiting when he picks up the phone. She wants a settled home and a loving husband who does not disappear to distant lands whenever business calls. She loves him - but can she accept his terms??

I liked this story because it took place in New Hampshire and I live in NH. I've never read a book that takes place in NH so i was curious to see how it was going to be. It was a tender love story that i thoroughly enjoyed and would read the book again.
