This story was a GREAT disappointment. The story line was weak and the SEX was gratuitous! If Libby's nipples "perked up" one more time, I was going to throw up! A thread of the story would be lost and then the author would [almost]write "opps" and tie up the thread; example: Aaron shows up all of a sudden and leaves, just as suddenly! I had to check the copyright date on this book to see what happened to Ms. Miller, who is usually a favorite of mine. Copyright was 1985 so I am happy to report that she has definitely improved from 15 years ago. But, the experience taught me not to buy "everything" by an author...... The bad news is the book is just plain awful.......the good news is Ms. Miller writes very well these days.......love scenes are tasteful and balanced with the story and her stories are strong. Whew! I feel better getting this off my chest........ AVOID BUYING THIS PARTICULAR BOOK; WASTE OF YOUR MONEY!

As an aspiring writer trying to get published I am in shock that something like this has actually found itself in print. This book is realy a series of soft core vignettes strung together in the guise of a story. The book's jacket promised much, the heart wrenching tale of a young woman, still raw from a divorce and the death of her stepson, returning home to heal and find solace on a beautiful ranch in Montana. But there really is very little story here, the characters are cariacatures, their motivations and behaviors wildly improbable, the type setting shoddy and the hero's name changing from Jess to Jerry inexplicably at one point. It really is a shame. The author definitely knows how to create mood and her descriptions are sometimes beautiful but the constant, repetitive sexual encounters become tedious because of their frequency and thus lose their power to move the reader.

The chemistry between the hero and heroine is intense to say the least. You're guaranteed to read it in one sitting. Highly sensual. I enjoyed it so much that i read it again the day after i'd finished it. I just didn't want to let the characters go. Good one Linda!

`Part of Bargain' is Harlequin Romance with a cute story and lots of love scenes. It was a quick read but I not sure I would buy this book - not worth your hard earned money. If you are looking for fun romance with a story I would suggest Kate Angell ` Crazy for you' - instead.

i am a huge Linda Lael Miller fan. Her stories are involve well developed characters, and scenes. I was disappointed. If the two characters were not fighting they were having thinking about each other naked. The story was weak and the characters even weaker. I did buy the chemistry or the love hate relationship. Teh only positive was I got teh book from teh library and I di not have t pay for it, unfortunately someone else did.
since the release of this bok her stories have dramatically improved. I have enjoyed both McKettricks and Creeds.

I loved the book. Libby and Jess went through a lot and true love still won. I didnt find the sexual parts gratuitous. I'm 13 and most 13 yearold girl wouldn't like tese kinds of books,but i liked. I read the book in one night and I kept re-reading I didn't want to forget the characters. It['s bad] she didn't do a sequel. Because of Her I got hooked on romance novels. And Now My boyfriend is now hooked. So thanks Ms. Miller!!!!!!

I loved it. I actually stayed up Christmas night reading it while all my guests were asleep.

This was a really great book. I couldn't put it down. Libby and Jess went through a lot and true love still won in the end. It's a happy ever after book.
