Book Description

Series: Hawk's Way | Publication Date: October 1, 1998

His marriage proposal wasn't shocking. His motive was. But she had her own secret.

All of Jennifer Wright's hopes and dreams had rested on her summer wedding-until one single moment changed everything. Including the groom. Suddenly, Jennifer agreed to marry her fiancé's best friend, a darkly handsome Texan she needed--and desperately wanted -- almost against her will. But U.S. Air Force Major Colt Whitelaw had sacrificed too much to settle for a marriage of convenience, and that made hiding her passion all the more difficult. And hiding her biggest secret downright impossible...

4.0 out of 5 stars This is our way of joining the Whitelaw Family!, September 4, 1998

Another great book by Joan Johnston! I just loved Colt to pieces! I was so glad to read about Jenny and Colt. Thank heavens, after all those years, she ended up with the right guy! You ached for Colt and his feelings for Jenny. It was hard to put this book down. The various characters in the book reach out and grab you too. Easy to see that books can follow about Jenny's brother, Randy with Faith and Colt's big brother Jack and Hope! At least we HOPE so. The Whitelaw's are such an exceptional family, by reading the books, you can be a part of the family, at least for awhile. And, Joan usually brings in some imperfection which is unusual, but more normal than the drop-dead gorgeous heroine! This is a reality check that many readers can relate to. Thanks Joan for entertaining us so well with another great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars A hero to die for! And a lady who deserves him., February 2, 2004

This review is from: Hawk'S Way: The Substitute Groom (Silhouette Promo) (Paperback)

This was a wonderful story as noted by other reviewers. It's part of a 12 books Hawk's Way Series and I really enjoy the character overflow. Although they stand alone, I think its better to start with the earlier ones and read them in order.
For example Jake and Hope's story is in "sisters found" and it's odd to read about their "early days" afer the fact. Anyhow. Joan Johnston has a way with words. Her characters have depth, likeability and somehow you're always rooting for them. However don't expect the thick gothic type books. These are quick reads but have some explicit sex and raw emotion.

Colt Whitelaw, Huck, and Jenny were an inseparable trio growing up. Colt and Huck both began to develop feelings for Jenny, but Huck asked her out first and Colt valued the friendship between them all too much to fight for her. When Huck is killed in an Air Force training accident and Colt survives, he moves back home and proposes to take Huck's place as Jenny's husband to be.

This was a short, fairly uneventful story that didn't really hold my interest. Recommended if you enjoy this series or if you want the build up to Sisters Found.
