5.0 out of 5 stars MOUTAIN DREAMS is a keeper!, March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountain Dreams (Paperback)

MOUNTAIN DREAMS is two complete and completely captivating novels.

The first story is side-splittingly funny. In FIVE STEPS TO FLIRTING, the heroine is pretty and intelligent but painfully shy. She is tired of being the victim of her large, well-meaning Italian family, who try to save her from "spinsterhood" at the ancient age of 25 by setting her up on blind dates--which are invariably with Mr. Wrong. A magazine article --FIVE STEPS TO FLIRTING -- appears to be her salvation. Inspired by the magazine's advice, she buys a long red wig, a short skirt, and practices the techniques the magazine details in the Cincinnati airport....And is mistaken for a hooker by a drop-dead gorgeous undercover agent with the FBI. From there, her day goes downhill fast and hilariously as she inadvertently stumbles into a diamond smuggling ring and gets kidnapped, taken for a long ride in a plane with low fuel. The Cute FBI guy quickly learns not to underestimate the lethal potential of her hot pink umbrella....

The second story, SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE SECRET AGENT, the hot pink umbrella-- now in the possession of a straight-laced schoolteacher --has its way to Las Cruses. The school teacher has a big problem. An unmarried 32, and goaded by the bragging of her former schoolmate about that schoolmate's idyllic marriage and perfect family, the teacher invented a husband. Living thousands of miles away, she thinks she'll need never produce said husband. Wrong. She is wrangled into promising to go the class reunion The cute guy, who changed her flat for her and who she's seen around seems like a good prospect to be her make-believe husband. . Sparks fly between them during the lunch she fixes him to thank him. He's very attracted to SUNDAY SCHOOL, as he privately nicknames her as he keeps her under surveillance. She reminds him of a prim and proper Sunday School teacher -- it's a shame she's really smuggling drugs, which she picks up on her monthly trips into Mexico.... This second story is excellently crafted. It has it's funny moments, but is more poiniant than the first. And has much more heat as a love develops between the hero and heroine. Ah, but the path of true love never runs smoothly.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, humorous "how we met" love stories., December 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountain Dreams (Paperback)

This book containing two parallel stories with similar situations and vehicles, i.e. umbrellas, aunts/relatives, mountains, is beautifully written and contains plots filled with humor naturally evolving from various situations, plus the fun of mystery and confusion resulting from misunderstandings and erroneous assumptions by the characters. This book moves easily from one storyline to the next and keeps you flipping pages to see how the characters will eventually resolve their feelings for each other.

A must-read book for lovers of gentle sensuality and romantic dreams with fun and happy endings.
