Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Rebecca Wells desperately wants to overcome her reputation. She's finally trying to put an end to her twenty-four-year rivalry with the perfect Josh Hill, a rivalry that began when she was a kid and the Hills moved in across the street. Great-looking, popular, a successful horse rancher, Josh is Dundee's golden boy--and the son her father always wanted.

But even when her father insists they call a truce, it's hard for Rebecca to drop her resentment of Josh. She refuses to acknowledge that she feels more for him than she's ever let on. The man she loves to hate is also the man she'd hate to love!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous heroine! Highly recommended, May 26, 2003

By	C. Penn "WordWeaving" (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In her early thirties, Rebecca Wells still sneaks an occasional cigarette and struggles to control her temper. Her nemesis Josh Hill, who lived across the street when they were growing up, fills her father's dreams of an ideal child, resulting in twenty-four years of discord. The wounds still have not healed, especially when her father announces that she is not invited to her parents anniversary party unless she promises to behave, meaning she has to strike a truce with Josh.

No one knows about the evening a year ago that proves that the chemistry between them has escalated, but neither Rebecca nor Josh can quite forget. With her best friend married, Rebecca decides it is time to marry and move away from Dundee, where her reputation has proven to be quite limiting. Unfortunately, her fiancé is more concerned with getting his great aunt to the wedding than sticking with a wedding date, so she dumps him and looks a bit closer to home. The question remains if Josh is up to her wild eccentricities!

I confess a weakness for heroines who do not fit the classic model of decorum. I identify with women like Rebecca who struggle with to grow beyond her reputation as a troublemaker and to quit smoking. It's heroines like Rebecca that make Superromances sparkle, because they are flawed, sassy and real. And they get guys like Josh, a fantasy come true. And with author Brenda Novak's pen, they also get a very bumpy ride on the way to romance, filled with the emotional conundrums that makes her stories outrageous, fun and believable. A HUSBAND OF HER OWN comes highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of her Best..., August 29, 2006

By	C. Ann (MN USA) - See all my reviews

I am a Brenda Novak fan and this is one of her best. Often the endings of books are not the way I'd like to see them. This one ended just perfectly and left me feeling warm and fuzzy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceiving, August 28, 2003

By A Customer

I am a big Brenda Novak fan, but I have to say, Ihave been really deceived by this book. It took me 3 weeks to finish it.

Both The H and h were extremely immature in my opinion, always referring to past mistaked that had happened in their teens. I wished they would have grown more mature. It was like watching 2 tennagers fighting, (althought they are both in their 30's.

I also disliked Rebbeca's father very much by the way he always put his dauthter down, even at the end. I wished someone would have give him some humility but alas, it never happened.
