2.0 out of 5 stars
Okay, but not the best use of this plot,
By
This review is from: A Wedding At Windaroo (Harlequin Romance #3794) (Mass Market Paperback)
I grabbed this book because I liked the title. However, it was pretty undistinguished as far as romance novels go. I liked the begining with the girl and the young man before they became adults. Piper however, is a bit hard to beleive, never into girly things, but as soon as she tries she masters it, but still a tom-boy. I think she is a little bit too much of everything. Gabe on the other hand is pretty interesting, and I liked his insecurity in his physical apperance, it was really rather refreshing to see a guy worry. (His being from horrible scars from an automobile accident)It just didn't do much for me in the way of plot. Cattle farm in trouble can only be saved if the lone inheritor (female) gets married...meh.

Married in a month - or else!,

This review is from: A Wedding At Windaroo (Harlequin Romance #3794) (Mass Market Paperback)
Piper O'Malley loves living in the Australian Outback with her grandfather on the piece of land she absolutely adores. Her grandfather's heart is failing, however, and he refuses to leave the land to Piper unless she's married, believing that she would be unable to take care of the place unless there was a man around the house. So Piper needs to find a man - now! The only problem is, all of the local guys don't treat her like one of the guys, instead of a desirable female. She needs someone to show her what it takes to attract a man, and fast!Gabe Rivers has been Piper's friend ever since she was a little girl. Now she's all grown up, and he can't get over how attractive she is. He's reluctant to show her how a woman can entice a man, but she's so determined, what can it hurt? As he spends more and more time with her, Gabe feels like he won't be able to let her go...but he was severely injured in an automobile crash, a crash that ultimately ended his beloved military career, and his life is in too much disarray to possible offer Piper that he has anything to offer her...right? I enjoyed this book, but I had a difficult time understanding some of it. English is not my first language, and although I would like to think that I have mastered the language fairly well, all of the Australian lingo confused me. I spent some time looking up the meaning of some of the words in the book, but on the bright side, I did learn some new words, such as ute, jillaroo, and bloke. :) The story line was pretty good. I have a thing for military heroes in books, and Gabe was definitely one, and a good one at that. I also liked Piper, she was quite head-strong and independent. I would have given the book five stars, except the plot seemed to drag for the first third of the book, and then things sort of went into warp-speed in the last third of the book. Altogether, though, I thought the book was very good, and I would recommend it.
