Highly Satisfying--A Beautiful Story!, October 31, 2002
This review is from: Shooting the Moon (Harlequin Superromance No. 1058) (Paperback)
When Harley Nelson reads the obituary of his former girlfriend, he returns to Portland, OR to claim the nine-year-old son he's never seen. Brandon has been raised by his aunt and grandparents in a luxurious gated community. Lauren Worthington loves her sister's son as if he were her own, and nothing will make her give up this child to bad boy Harley. In fact, fueled by her father's tales of Harley, she's convinced he ruined her sister. She doesn't want the man anywhere near her nephew. But Harley isn't quite the way he's been portrayed. He's concerned, he cares, and he forces Lauren to reexamine her long held beliefs about him. Of no small concern is his devastating charm. Before long Lauren finds herself falling in love with the man who can rob her of the thing that makes her happiest. Lauren battles with her understanding of Harley's right to his son and her own emotional attachment to the boy. Wonderfully developed secondary characters provide an excellent supporting cast. Shooting the Moon is about romance and caring, love and money, challenging one's belief system, and acceptance. You'll cheer at the outcome, maybe shed a few happy tears as I did. But I guarantee you won't forget this wonderful book by Brenda Novak, a master at creating intense emotional conflict. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Very highly recommended.

Sweet and Lovely!, May 30, 2002
This review is from: Shooting the Moon (Harlequin Superromance No. 1058) (Paperback)
Harley Nelson left Portland ten years ago, but when he left, he left a child behind too. Ten years later he is back for his son. Audra, whom he once loved, died from drugs, leaving behind Brandon, their son. He came back to town with determination and a past. Lauren Worthington just happened to be Audra's sister, and Brandon's mother in every sense but biologically. She loved Brandon more than life itself. He might as well as have been born hers. Harley made Lauren nervous, her heart beat, and her breath catch just when he was near. Too bad Lauren was born in the wrong family, at least as far as Harley was concerned, but then she was known as the Ice Queen anyway. Slowly as the book progressed, so did their attraction and the heat that simmered between them. Their lives grew more and more complicated as Lauren's parents came into the picture... especially since it was her father that had started it all those years ago. Lauren is strong but has vulnerabilities just as Harley has a tough front but a soft center. Sometimes he reminds you of a teddy bear but others as the devil incarnate. Together they are real and lively. SHOOTING THE MOON is interesting as it is sweet and special. Ms. Novak as done a fabulous job! Romance At Its Best
