"There's no television," Chase said, gazing around the old-fashioned bedroom.

"Don't sound so shocked. It wouldn't fit the decor," Leslie answered lightly. She was toying with the top button on her jacket and looking at him in a way that made his toes curl.

"Leslie?" he asked hopefully.

"Does it strike you that there's only one entertainment center in this room?" She nodded toward the huge bed with its high, carved headboard.

The button came loose. Chase's mouth went dry.

"I wonder if that's the sort of furniture they'd have had in a Victorian bordello?" She kicked off one shoe, then the other.

Chase's tie and suit coat joined her jacket on the chair. For once, he wasn't at all concerned about neatness.

"Or perhaps it came from some proper household, where a new bride might be told to close her eyes on her wedding night and think of England."

"Do you want to close your eyes?" he asked.

A sudden blush brought color to her cheeks. "Maybe you should," she suggested. "Just for a moment."

"Not a chance, Mrs. Forster." Two quick steps brought him to her side and he pulled her into his arms. "You don't have to be shy with me. . . ."

4.0 out of 5 stars Ever Heard of an E-Mail Order Bride?, August 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sight Unseen (Loveswept) (Mass Market Paperback)

Kathy Lynn Emerson has merged high-tech and romance in the first story I've ever read about e-mail order brides. It's a marriage-of-conveniece story with a twist. You'll laugh, cry and sigh.
