Book Description

Silhouette Desire February 1, 2004

Veterinarian Ryan Blackstone has a chip on his shoulder that keeps him firmly unattached. He's got a young son he adores, a legacy and a family to be proud of. He's not looking for anything else. And the last thing on Kelly Andrews's mind is romance when she accepts a job at the famous Blackstone stud farm. But when she meets sexy Ryan, she begins to question her resolve to remain faithful to her deceased husband's memory. Soon tensions and passions create a heat wave of unspoken need and maybe a chance for new beginnings.

4.0 out of 5 stars A second chance at love., April 2, 2004
By 
The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Long Hot Summer (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
Hired as the new teacher for Blackstone Farms Day School, the last thing on Kelly Andrews mind is falling in love. When she meets handsome veterinarian Ryan Blackstone, her resolve to remain faithful to her deceased husband's memory is severely tested.

Ryan, leery of love thanks to his ex-wife, who left him with a newborn son, prescribes to the theory of "once bitten, twice shy." Kelly's quiet beauty and instant rapport with his son soon pulls at Ryan's heart strings. Slowly but surely he finds himself falling in love with Kelly, but will her fears of sullying her husband's memory ruin any chance the couple has at a second chance at love?

THE LONG HOT SUMMER was a short, but delightful read. True to form, Rochelle Alers has created strong, memorable characters who will forever remain etched in your memory. Fans of Alers are sure to give this wonderful story of love a place of prominence on their bookshelves. I know I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and Oh So Sweet !, March 17, 2004

Victoria Davis (Texarkana, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Long Hot Summer (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
Long Hot Summer was a short but a sweet read. Mrs. Alers continues to use her magic to create wonderful characters. I loved the whole concept of combining African-Americans,ranching and horse racing.The dedication to the first African-American jockeys in the Kentucky Derby was very special. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet love story, September 8, 2006
I enjoyed Ryan's and Kelly's story, it was a good read on healing from past loves and moving on. The first in the Blackstone series gives a nice introduction to the rest of the family therefore it would be better, not required though, to read them in order. Jeremy's story is up next and is better than Ryan's with Sheldon's story so far being the best.
