FINALLY - SOME GALS WHO DON'T SLEEP AROUND!, February 8, 2005
This review is from: The Men Of Medicine Ridge (Paperback)
Both stories are about young women who find love in their innocence. And about men who refuse to completely compromise these young women's virginity. Yes, this is a very powerful emotional balance.
As these were billed as The Men of Medicine Ridge, I was waiting to see if they knew each other. Never did find out.
Mack Killian has been raising his siblings and Natalie Brock, an orphan taken in by the Killian family, have a very strong attraction. Mack has lost the sight of one eye from a bull goring and Natalie helped strengthen his will to pull through.
He can't see taking on a wife and saddling her with his responsibilities. But his two brothers and sister actually do love Natalie. Almost as much as he does. Which, of course he won't give into his love.
Yea! Natalie somehow wins in the end --- you will love these stories. Finally, the ladies are not tramps.
Gil Callister is in need of a secretary for his brother, John.
When he asks Kasie why she wants the job. [I love her answer] "Because John is a dish!"
He is also fascinated by her odd character references. "A Catholic priest, a nun, a Texas Ranger and a self-made millionaire with alleged mob ties."
And then he finds out that she and her brother were named for this mercenary - K.C. Kantor [what a story]
Kasie actually turns Gil's life upside-down. His secretary claims not to know how to use a computer. His nanny does not like baby-sitting. And Kasie just does not like doing taxes. And she has a fear of flying. Wait till you find out how the group resolves itself - especially when Gil sees his brother kiss Kasie.
D.P. has given us a couple of real men, although Mack was a bit of a tom-cat. And these two women are worthy of being definitely female [not a pair of alley-cats]
There is enough emotional tension without the bed hopping to make fantastic romance - this is what some of us dream of finding.
Decent guys!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with no reservations -- definitely a keeper for those of us with high ideals.

Great Book, March 19, 2005
This review is from: The Men Of Medicine Ridge (Paperback)
I have to start out by saying that I loved this book. Both stories were great! I have re-read them a hundred times. I really loved the story of Mack and Natalie. I loved the fact that he was blind in one eye AND that Natalie was the only person that could get him through the rough times. Finally, we get a woman charcter that is just as strong, if not stronger than the male lead. The line, "Every woman's dream until he opens his mouth" was a great line. I think of that phrase when I think of this story. Although I can't believe she didn't punch him in the face when he was saying those horrible things to her in front of everybody on the street. The second story was great also. I loved the fact that it was a more buisness type story. When he was going through her refrences...I cracked up. There is a lot of sadness in "Circle of Gold". I kinda found it hard to believe that this woman had so much tragedy in her life, but that's what makes it a good book. (Escape from reality for a little while) I think the first story was more believeable than the second but I would recommend this book to anybody.

Both stories were very endearing!, November 11, 2004
This review is from: The Men Of Medicine Ridge (Paperback)
This book is a combination of 2 previous books. They are "Wedding in White" and "Circle of Gold". They are both really good stories. It's a keeper for me. There is a good review of Circles of Gold under that book so I won't mention what it is about. Wedding in White is about Mack Killian and his 2 brothers and his sister. Their parents are dead and he has been responsible for them for a number of years. He is only in his 20's himself. There is an orphan (named Natalie) that came to live with her aunt, which was right next to the Killian Ranch. Natalie becomes a part of their family. When she is 17 her "boyfriend" is killed in an accident and Mack comes to comfort her. He has hidden his desire for her since then as he felt she was too young to shoulder all the responsibility he had and he felt that a wife was added responsibility for him. But now she is 23 and his desire is becoming more apparent. He is saying and doing things he has never done before. She is liking it because she has always loved him too. There is some tense moments and even betrayal but then Natalie moves away and is involved in an accident. Mack is called because she has no other family. What will happen?????? Guess you'll have to read and find out. I have gone back and re-read it several times already. I just thought they were great stories.
