What happens when three sexy, wealthy, and oh-so reluctant men have to get married--fast? Wilks’ new series, “Tall, Dark & Eligible,” answers this question in three parts. In the first book, Jacob’s Proposal, Jacob West loses one prospective fiancée and sets his sights on a new one with the decisiveness of a man used to winning at the business wars. But his second choice is the last woman a man like him ought to want--a shady lady with a scandalous past.

Good beat, but just couldn't dance to it.,

This review is from: Jacob's Proposal (Tall, Dark & Eligible) (Silhouette Desire, No. 1397) (Mass Market Paperback)
Get married, inherit the money, and help the woman who raised you live for a few more years. Only, in the middle of the plan, the unexpected happens. You find yourself in love.It sounded great on the back of the book. It even sounded great for the first few chapters. And everyone else is right - Jacob is a hero's hero. Strong, competant, rich. He takes in strays, makes them well, and sends them on their way. Strength with compassion. Where I get caught is with Claire. I just didn't like her. She was weak. She ran away from her problems. She married Jacob, a complete stranger, to protect her. She avoided further scandal and sheltered herself away from life. She doesn't come to Jacob as a woman on her own. She's needy. Dependant upon him to protect her (which, by the way, he doesn't do very well). It was a decent read with a good plot. But without being able to identify with the heroine, the book was just flat for me.

This review is from: Jacob's Proposal (Tall, Dark & Eligible) (Silhouette Desire, No. 1397) (Mass Market Paperback)
Devotion to the woman who treated them as a mother motivates three handsome bachelors to find wives quickly in Eileen Wilk's Tall, Dark, & Eligible miniseries. Ada's experimental treatment is exorbitantly expensive, but they'll do anything to prolong her life. To pay for her treatment, they must fulfill the rules of their trust. Jacob West, nicknamed the Iceman, promises to be the first brother to marry. Now he just has to find a bride. Too bad the first woman he asks turns him down. But his new assistant is promising. Claire McGuire, the woman rumored to have driven Ken Lawrence mad, accepts the temporary position as Jacob's assistant. Maybe the mansion's outstanding security system will keep her safe. Memories of the scandal, the gossip, and the trial haunt her. But knowing events could repeat themselves keeps her ever vigilant. She finds her boss to be a highhanded, irritatingly sexy man, and now she can't help wondering just how much danger she's living with as well. The debut of Tall, Dark, & Eligible miniseries JACOB'S PROPOSAL demonstrates author Eileen Wilks' remarkable skill. With a deft touch she combines romance and danger, forcing her characters to reevaluate their priorities and the their feelings. Sensuality plays a strong role, entangling these characters in memorable play of emotions. Very highly recommended.

Fabulous!,
This review is from: Jacob's Proposal (Tall, Dark & Eligible) (Silhouette Desire, No. 1397) (Mass Market Paperback)
Eileen Wilks gives us another page turner in Jacob's Proposal. Once again Wilks has gifted us with a big book in a short format. Jacob is used to winning in the boardroom, and when one prospective bride turns him down, he sets his sights with ruthless intent on prospect number two. But Claire doesn't want to get married, she just needs a safe place to live... temporarily. Sparks fly and the heat index rises as Jacob pursues Claire with the same intensity and focus of purpose he uses in business. I can't wait to see what's in store for Luke and Michael!
