LIPS THAT TOUCH MINE was a really good story that showed how love developed from an attraction of opposites. Boyd was a handsome, laid back, powerful man (who didn't mind using his physical strength to solve problems in his saloon) and didn't believe he would ever love anybody enough to marry them. Claire was a beautiful, strong-minded, compassionate woman who had finally escaped an abusive husband (when he drowned) and never wanted to get married again.  She associated alcohol with every domestic problem and when she decided to get every saloon in town closed down, she particularly targeted Boyd's saloon because it was across the street from her boarding house and the noise was chasing away all her boarders.This book was very well written and well edited and was a great addition to the other Grayson Brother's books. The characters practically leapt from the pages, they seemed so alive. The dialogues were authentic and gave me both smiles and tears. (I was especially affected by the scenes that dealt with domestic violence because I used to be a counselor for women who were victims of it.) The imagery was exceptionally good and I found it very easy to get into the story.This book really touched my emotions and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I can certainly recommend it to anyone who likes historical romances.
