The Lovin' Kind (Morgan Brothers)
*Starred Review* Beth Morgan doesn't need to be told that she is the prettiest woman in Boltonville, Wisconsin--she already knows it. As she walks down the aisle to marry Eric Slausser, visions of herself bloated, pregnant, and not-so-beautiful come to mind, and she bolts. She decides to go stay with her brother in Wyoming. Her father agrees with her plan but insists that she travel with the man he trusts more than anyone else in the world, grudgingly wealthy Quaid Blair. Quaid is taking his prize horses up the trail and is extremely reluctant to take the spoiled beauty with him. He vows to himself that he'll make the journey so difficult, Beth will give up. Surprisingly, Beth's fragile, feminine looks belie a strong, determined, capable woman. Thrilled to finally be with a man who doesn't treat her like fine porcelain, Beth rises to every challenge. In the third book in the Morgan Family Romance series (The Marryin' Kind,2005;The Bettin' Kind,2005), Parra continues to create marvelously gutsy heroines--complex characters who aren't what the rest of the world thinks they are.Shelley MosleyCopyright © American Library Association.
