4.0 out of 5 stars fine suspense laden tale, December 31, 2003

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Tall, Dark And Texan (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)

Wendy Jamison is driving from her hometown in Iowa to Hollywood with dreams of making the big time. In Dallas, she exits the highway only to become lost in a bad neighborhood. Before long, she loses her vehicle with all her worldly possessions except for what she is wearing, and much of her cash. Freezing, as she is not dressed for the cold weather that grips the area, Wendy must do something before it can get any worse.

Worse arrives when a tall knight on a motorcycle arrives and offers her a ride to temporary safety. Feeling no other option is available, she reluctantly accepts his offer though her savior looks more like her worst nightmare. Bounty hunter Michael Wolfe will keep Wendy safe though she treats him like a serial rapist rather than the stud who took her out of the cold. As she helps him capture a bail jumper, Wendy and Michael fall in love, "but she is gonna be an actress and he is gonna" fly after jumpers.

Names aside (perhaps the male darling should have been Peter or John) and why Wendy withdrew her life savings in an age of electronic banking, readers will enjoy the meeting of the wholesome Midwesterner and the bad dude. The story line is fast-paced with plenty of action, but it is the repartee between the lead twosome that make this a joy ride as Wendy knows deep inside that her fearsome hero would not harm her. TALL, DARK, AND TEXAN is a fine suspense laden tale for those who appreciate a good girl with the mislabeled bad guy.

This review is from: Tall, Dark And Texan (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)

Almost out of gas on her way from New York to Hollywood, hopeful actress Wendy Jamison gets carjacked, losing everything. The huge and dangerous man who pulls up on a motorcycle looks like the end, but he turns out to be a hunky bounty hunter--Michael Wolfe. With no money, no clothes but what she's wearing, and with a blizzard raging, Wendy needs rescuing, but only for a little while. She's on her way to Los Angeles, to the movies and television. Some day, she's going to have her picture on People Magazine and she's never going to settle again.

Wolfe has made his own way in life and he's now the top bounty hunter in Dallas. He lives alone, except for a bad-tempered cat, and he likes it that way. He doesn't need a woman in his life, especially not one who makes trouble, can't take orders, and who lies about being a gourmet cook. Still, Wolfe is all male and something about Wendy turns his hormonal thermostat to full blast. But Wolfe knows that girls like Wendy don't fall for guys like him. He's too big, too scary, and too damaged to mean anything to her. Besides, she's only going to stay in Texas long enough to get her feet back under her, earn enough for the breast augmentation sadly necessary to succeed in Hollywood, and then she'll be out of his life forever.

Wendy finds herself falling in love with Wolfe, with the way he cares for others and the fierce protectiveness he offers her, but she can't give up on her dreams. They have kept her alive, motivated, going, when everyone else in her large family settled for working in the chewing gum factory. She simply can't give up on her dreams, even for love.

Author Jane Sullivan, who also writes as Jane Graves, delivers a super-sexy story with some charming humor and just a touch of adventure. Wolfe is a wonderfully damaged hero and Wendy makes a spunky heroine, filled with energy and a willingness to try anything to reach her dreams. Sullivan's strong writing propells the story along, making TALL, DARK AND TEXAN a book that you'll want to start early in the day if you plan to get any sleep that night at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot, action-packed romance, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tall, Dark And Texan (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)

What a great book! I will definitely be reading more by Jane. Enough action, and hot, steamy love scenes to keep one reading all night long. Wolfe is the strong, silent type, who needs the love of a good woman to make him come out of his shell. GREAT!!
