Karin Williams is sent to England to work on a construction project because she's the best engineer and the only one with telemetry expertise. She is forewarned that Rowan Marsden, the project leader, has an unfavorable attitude towards women engineers and that he has been known to be especially difficult to work with. When Karin answers her page at the airport, sparks fly and not only because Rowan tells her that he forbids women at the site and therefore she will be on the next flight out! Karin insists that she can and will do the job. Rowan scrutinizes everything she does but can't find fault with anything and eventually he acknowledges that she is right for the job. And while the job is progressing along nicely, the sexual tension between Karin and Rowan is so thick you can cut it with a knife! A touch here, a lingering gaze there and neither one of them can stand the heat. Giving into their lust only heightens their awareness and need but Rowan has made it perfectly clear that he will not make a commitment which is exactly what career minded Karin realizes she wants. A coworker is sent to work with Karin and she gives him some responsibilities though she is wary of his competence. A horrible accident happens that lands Karin in the hospital and while she recuperates at the Marsden's estate, she has made her decision about Rowan, and he has made one too, but is it the same one? Suzanne Barrett has honed her craft and it shows in her debut novel! Her characters are well defined and the plot pulls you into the story. Though the plot is not complicated, it's like a David and Goliath story and you root for the underdog, and Karin doesn't let you down. A keeper! A winner! Suzanne Barrett's debut novel Taming Rowan is why we read romance! A sizzling debut novel by Suzanne Barrett! Keep your eyes on this author, she's going places! Taming Rowan by newcomer Suzanne Barrett is terrific! She has written a deliciously sexy romance and after reading this book you'll want more from this talented new author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful hero, unique heroine, gifted writing!, May 5, 1999

By	Carolyn Woolston (Felton, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like your heroes manly and mysterious with a dash of boyish charm, TAMING ROWAN is for you. He's maddening and mesmerizing, handsome and human in just the right combination, and heroine Karin-- intelligent, sensitive, womanly--leads him on a merry chase in a lush English setting.

New author Suzanne Barrett's fine writing is fresh and fun--a joy to discover. I predict she is one writer who will go far. Carolyn Woolston (writing as Lynna Banning)
