I've really been reading this weekend, I am searching for my next to start this evening.
This morning I finished BLUE SKIES by Catherine Anderson.....I love her books but this heroine got a little tedious as she blamed everything AFTER the night on him. Hank is a wonderful beta cowboy that would do anything for his wife and his family. Carly didn't trust him to take care of her. I fell even more in love with him as he ran to the store for 7-up and saltines to get rid of her dry heaves. I rated it C+

Before that I finished SAVING DR. RYAN by Karen Templeton. I like her strong heroines, Maggie is almost penniless, pregnant, and dragging 2 kids to see if her deceased husband great uncle will let them live with him. On the way Maggie goes into labor during a thunderstorm, her two tiny children have to knock on the doctor's door. Ryan has loved and lost, his fiancee broke their engagement because he was always doctoring someone and never there for her. In the years since he has heartened his heart and decided he likes living in his 6 bedroom house all alone. After he delivers Maggie's new daughter he ask her and her children to stay with him until she can get up on her feet.
Maggie begins to turn his house into a home. Rated B

My only disappointing book this weekend has been RETURN TO LITTLE HILLS by Janice Macdonald. Edie is a world famous journalist return home for a month to see if her sister, Viv is right and her 80 year old mother, Maude needs to go in a nursing home. Maude is hard of hearing and drives Edie crazy....she drove me crazy also with her bragging on her oldest daughter Viv and putting down Edie.
Peter Darling is the principal of a trouble teen high school. He has 4 daughters that need a mother but he wants a woman that loves him first and then can be a mother to his children. Edie has no maternal instinct and has no desire to see if she can love his daughters. Peter is captivated by Edie and pursues a relationship with her against everyone's advice.....including mine! He should have just had a hot affair with her then found someone that wanted to raise a family with him.
I just have too much maternal instint to not want to grab those adoreable little girls and their sexy father....Edie put every rock in the path of happiness she could find, just couldn't understand her at all. The fighting with her mother and sister got on my nerves. Rated D
