Treat Her Right is a treat to read!, October 17, 2001
This review is from: Treat Her Right (Men To The Rescue) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)
Lori Foster's TREAT HER RIGHT is the second book in the "Men to the Rescue" series from Harlequin's Temptation line, starting with CAUGHT IN THE ACT, and finishing up with MR. NOVEMBER, due out on shelves next month.
Zack Grange is a single father to a precocious little girl named Dani, who describes her father as "A Hero". A fitting title; since Zack happens to be a paramedic, and though it can be trying profession (life or death in fact), he's a man who loves his job. He takes it, his life, and his responsibility as a parent very seriously.
Enter Wynn Lane, the new face in the neighborhood who moves into the house behind Zack.
Wynn is loud, boisterous, carefree, and...big! Not big as in heavy or overweight, but solid, and big boned. Wynn doesn't have a dainty bone in her body, but her heart is sweet, and her interaction with his daughter gives him worry. The two are wonderful together, and Zack feels himself being drawn in despite his determined resistance.
You see, Zack has been looking to marry again, but Wynn is so far from the woman he envisioned to fill the roll of wife, and mother.
Zack begins to see, however that his attempts to banish her from his mind become increasingly more difficult with every saucy turn of her head, or each glimpse of the skimpy shorts she favors when doing yard work, or spotting her napping in the hammock she's set in her backyard.
Secondary characters add to the laughter and they lend a quirky aside to the serious relationship that is developing between the two. Though Zack keeps repeating to himself that it's only physical, his heart has other ideas. And Wynn, with her wild hair, and past bad experience with love, fears Zack will never see her as anything other than a friend, and an occasional late-night playmate.
We first met Mick as a cop in CAUGHT IN THE ACT, and Josh is a fireman who shares a stationhouse with Zack. Both are his best friends, and add to Zack's troubles with their constant ribbing. Josh has an eye for the ladies, and sees Wynn as quite a woman. Zack has personal decisions to make concerning Wynn, but will he lay claim when Josh shows interest in his new neighbor? Will his friend back off when he sees that Zack is falling in love with the girl next door, Even if Zack doesn't yet realize it himself?
Ms. Foster's stories never fail to entertain, and TREAT HER RIGHT is no exception. Her tales of love, and relationships focus on the male point of view more often than not, and is a refreshing perspective. To see the male struggle with desires, and feelings for the heroine gives her stories a twist that is different, and insightful. You'll chuckle at the antics of Wynn's friends and family, and Josh, Mick, and Mick's wife, Del, will make you feel as if you are sitting down and reading about people you know and care about.
A lively, sexy, and charming read, Ms foster sets the standard for time spent with a good book! TREAT HER RIGHT is one of those that make the grade!
Congratulations, Ms. Foster! Another winning story!

This book is a treat!, October 17, 2001
This review is from: Treat Her Right (Men To The Rescue) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)
"Treat Her Right" continues where Foster's previous release, "Caught in the Act," left off-and this time, it's Zack Grange's turn in the hot seat. A widower with a young daughter, Zack has decided that it's time to Look to the future and remarriage. He knows exactly what type of woman he wants for a wife and mother and it's not his new next door neighbor Wynn Lane.
Outspoken, physical and eye-to-eye tall as Zack, Wynn finds her new neighbor to be a man worth getting to know better and his little girl adorable. Unfortunately, although little Dani feels the same way about Wynn, Zack does not. Or so he thinks. The sparks fly as Zack and Wynn first fight their attraction to each other, then succumb to the inevitable.
Lori Foster continues her tradition of giving romance readers everything they could possibly want: sympathetic characters, great dialogue, steamy love scenes and the easy camaraderie of a closely bonded group of men that only she can deliver. The fun continues in her next book, "Mr. November," in which the 3rd member of the group, Josh Marshall takes his turn in the game of love.

Good Book, November 14, 2001
This review is from: Treat Her Right (Men To The Rescue) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book for the most part. I guess what I didn't like about it was the emphasis on how "Big" Wynn was. I got the point pretty much in the beginning of the book, but it was constantly brought up throughout it... Half the time I wasn't sure if Zack really did like Wynn all that much, only tolerated her and the ending came really fast... I think I'm kind of in the middle on this book. It's worth reading though, especially if you like Lori Foster. I'll let you draw your own conclusions!
