Napier at Her Best,
By Kay "spoonerfish" (Evergreen, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winter Of Dreams (Year Down Under) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)
This is a great story with twins doing a little switching places and two artists sharing their passions. There are some good twists and turns. Olivia goes to Jordan's home to paint his father and Jordan and his family react to her presence. My favorite book by Susan Napier so far. I also enjoyed Secret Admirer

Winter of Dreams by Susan Napier
Harlequin Presents # 1595 - October 1993 The Marlows - Book # 3 It had all been too much; betrayal from the man she had loved, the disastrous showing of her paintings, the terrible fatigue from the glandular fever she suffered from. The horrific review of her work had been her last straw, and suddenly she plunged over the edge that she'd been so dangerously near, and broke down, first with violent emotions and then a total physical breakdown. During those moments when Olivia Marlow had been at her most vulnerable, she had bared her body and soul to a stranger; and when she came to her senses the next day she hated him for seeing all her ugliest of emotions and refused to see him again. While Olivia recovered from her illness, her twin Roz decided to jump-start her sister's career by posing as Olivia and presenting her portfolio to the Pendragon family, patrons of the arts, for consideration for the coveted Pendragon commission. This lead Olivia to the Pendragon estate, where as a finalist for the commission, she was to complete a portrait of Alun Pendragon. Much to Olivia's dismay the strange man from months before was none other than Jordan Pendragon, son of her wealthy patron. While Jordan had come to know Olivia's deepest and darkest of secrets that eventful night; he himself was a mystery with some very dark secrets of his own. This is an awesome story! Emotionally intense, with some fun witty moments to break the tension. From the beginning, you can tell there is a tremendous depth to Jordan. He's his own man, taking his own path often against his father's wishes. Olivia had been a shattered woman, and Jordan had made it his responsibility to bring back her confidence. Though vulnerable, Olivia isn't easily trod on, and she holds her own. Jordan wakes her sleeping passions, and at night she's able to dream again. This story grabbed me from the first pages and I was sorry to have it end. Happily, I know I'll get a glimpse of these great characters in the next installment of the Marlow family.

romance b/w 2 artists,
By RomReader (TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winter Of Dreams (Year Down Under) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)
Artist heroine is commissioned to paint the portrait of sculptor Hero's father after her twin sister impersonated her during the job interview without her knowledge while she was ill. She temporarily moves into Hero's family estate to do the painting & scrambles to fill in the gap from her twin sister's short stay there. Hero in particular questions the differences b/w their chemistry when they 1st met/during the job interview/& now. Spending time together answer questions they have about each other esp heroine's hazy memory of their 1st meeting. It also reveals more of their secrets which could prove to be a detriment to their r/s.
This Napier book had some depth. The characters, romance, & story had a richness & complexity that isn't regularly found in a Harlequin book. It was emotionally-involving & paced well. The romance is complicated by other characters including heroine's twin sister who impersonated her & almost slept with Hero. Hero & heroine were imperfect people with artistic abilities & temperament. They both had different ways of handling their artistic work & the issues it presented to people in their lives. I liked how they merged their romance with their work. Their art reflected their individual personalities & emotional states. Sexual chemistry & love scenes were exciting. Recommended.
