Well, it is hard to review 10 books.  Like another reviewer, some clicked, some didn't.  Out of 10, I really liked two, so I will just talk about those.  THE ARMY DOCTOR'S WIFE was my favorite.  They are from the UK fighting a war in Africa.  She is a charity worker helping women and children.  He flies in to help rescue the innocent and she is being shot at by rebel forces.  By the time he gets to her she seems to not be hurt badly but when he turns her over she has a newborn in her jacket and she has fallen and landed on her arm breaking it in several places.  She is a mess.  Taken back to a field hospital he repairs her arm and sees to the newborn's needs.  This starts their love story.  It was good.  They ran into some crazy laws countries seem to have but they were able to solve those problems.  I really liked this story.My second favorite was TOMBOY BRIDE.  The youngest of 4 children, the other 3 being males and the children of an Olympic gold metal winner, she has to fight for every scrap of attention she can get from her Daddy.  And she doesn't get much.  Daddy is an ass.  At 25 she is a star in her own career, lives on her own, etc. yet she still allows her Daddy to control her life.  Talk about Daddy issues, this gal has them in spades.  She even considers having sex with a total jerk because Daddy approves of him.  Of course he is a football jock!  But, the hero is great, loved him and it was a good story except for her moments of total stupidity.  There was a bitch news reporter.  I really don't need a villain in my love stories but whatever.  It was a good story and she gets her HEA even though we don't know what happened with the rotten Daddy.LOVE ME TENDER started out as a good storyline.  I really wanted to like it.  I got sort of off put with his ignorant twang when he was suppose to be a college educated cowboy running a large ranch in Texas.  Then they started stealing and slaughtering horses, kids are after the bad guys, etc.  Just didn't need it in a love story.  So I quit reading.As to the other stories, one had a Tenn. Southern Belle that swilled liquor and smoked before breakfast.  Putting out the cigarette by dropping it on the floor of the bedroom and grinding it out with her foot!!  Oh that was the lady of the house!!! Didn't get any further than that.  Really, this is a woman that is looking down her nose at the person that rented a small compact car because it was "common".  Really?Others had a female kidnapped by a Russian thug and forcing her into marriage.  I hate bullies and don't like to read about them.  So, didn't finish that one either.  The others were just not for me.  I'm sure other's will find them enjoyable but they are not what I am looking for in a "love" or "romance" story.  So 2 out of 10 for me.
