I'm not kidding when I say that Michaels is a genius in romance novels. I have read The Merry Widows: Mary, and now she hands me this great book called The Merry Widows: Catherine. I loved Lord Romeo, the cat, and the hen. I liked the cat best. I liked Catherine because she isn't afraid of being a tomboy. A woman climbing trees back then was scandalous. I stayed up until 4:00 AM reading it. It was fantastic! I liked Gregory because he was just sooooooooooooo romantic. If Catherine is this good, I can't wait to read The Merry Widows: Sarah. Michaels, your stories are the best!

Catherine Rose Hill, 22 and widowed from Louis Hill, was definitely not going to marry again. But she was sure missing her bed sport.

Suzanne was a friend of Catherines' and paid her to take in her brother, Greg, a money making mogul from New York, who was suffering from an ulcer.

Gregory Michael Mayfield III wanted peace and quiet and a chance to win his bet with his sister, Suzanne.

His first introduction with his widowed landlady was when she fell out of a tree at his feet and caused Lord Romeo to attack him. Lord Romeo, what a character!

Now what is going on with these two people who seemed to strike sparks off each other. She has no intentions of ever falling in love again and he has no desires for a wife. A mistress, maybe.

There is a lot of innuendo and flirty repartee, of taking two steps into danger and then backing off. But the two can't seem to keep their hands off each other.

Great characters - wonderfully told story but not enough action for me - too much is centered on these characters emotions to the point of no return - everything else is just a side line.
Easy, enjoyable reading just not enough outside tension.
No powerful masculine appeal and she seems to act like a flighty teenager. Ah well, author still writes a good story!
But ----- just something lacking.

The weakest story line of the three books.
Will Recommend as part of the set --M

Will have you laughing out loud. Catherine and Greg just sparkle with love and laughter. A Very Definite KEEPER!
