High-Society Secret Pregnancy (Silhouette Desire) 1 review
Maureen Child
Silhouette, 2008
Hot and Steamy
Take one "old money" woman, add "new money" billionaire and you have the underlying premise for this story. The sex scenes were hot and steamy, which earns the four stars, however, it is obvious this is one in a series of related books. Another reason for the four stars is the humor surrounding the heroine's neighbor in 12C and her attitude concerning another neighbor's constant female visitors ...

Littlest Marine (The Bachelor Battalion) (Silhouette Desire , No 1167)1 review
Maureen Child
Silhouette, 1998
A keeper, the first in the Bachelor Battalion Series.
Neither Harding or Elizabeth were looking for someone to love. Harding because he'd failed already at marriage and Elizabeth certainly didn't want a marine and the nomadic lifestyle that went with him, but that doesn't stop her sister or his best friend from trying to set them up. Although they acknowledge the intense attraction to each other they agree it's best to be friends, right. Okay, ...

A Great Read!
I enjoyed this book and I fell in love with the characters. Marie is a strong female lead and I enjoyed reading about how she thrives as a mechanic and owner of her own repair shop. Davis shares a love for repairing cars and I liked how this linked the characters, giving them something in common besides just the typical attraction. This book was a page turner and at the end I was left wanting ...

Marrying For King's Millions (Silhouette Desire) 3 reviews
Maureen Child
Silhouette, 2008
Good premise
This is the second in a series by Maureen Child about the King brothers in N CA. This one is weaker than the first book. I think it is because you have to stretch your imagination more to accept the premise.
The characters are well developed with a warped visions of money and life. The heroine and hero have known each other for a lifetime but they learn they don't really know each other. Time ...

GREAT BOOK!!!!
I read lots of books, and I have to say that this was one of the best I've read! This book isn't about the same old things like falling in love then getting married! Instead the heroin of the book first meets the guy, marries him, gets pregnant, then falls in love! Not an ordinary day by day occurance, but the book was so good that I HAD to read it in one day!!! I just could bear to put it ...
