Breaking all the rules by Summer Jordan

Why I read this: I loved the first one in the series.

Margo Allen never expected to meet a hot guy in this staid neighbourhood and didn’t dream she’d fall in love with a younger man. But she never knew what hot sex was until she met Brit Hunter, or how much fun they’d have breaking the rules. Deceived by former partners, each has to learn trust, but making love and making up are fun to do. Frequency, location, performance, and love…Brit teaches Margo things she never knew.

I went into this book with very high expectations. Let me entertain you, the first book from this series was very well done. It ranked high on my list of the best books that I read in 2007. This book, Breaking all the rules, was just okay.

There is a 14 year age difference between the Hero and Heroine. Older women/younger men story lines rarely do it for me, and this was no exception. I did like seeing the couple from book one make some appearances, and the love scenes were off the charts hot!

Brit is the head of thier home owners association, and they meet when he tells her that she can't paint her house a certain colour. Both of them are attracted to one another, but Margo has a hard time getting over how much older she is than Brit. Brit gets frustrated with her attitude about that, and so did I.

Breaking all the rules was on Okay read, that I'll give a C. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I just wish that the conflict in the story had been something other than their age.

Also, its been months since I read the first book and I remember it like I read it yesterday. This book I read just a little over a week ago and I struggle to remember anything other than the amazing love scenes. Needless to say that Breaking all the rules is not very memorable.

Let me entertain you by Summer Jordan

The good doctor has a secret. A marriage counsellor and syndicated columnist who's courting a book contract, Dr. Mike's wife left him for another man. Leanne Jameson, Wives-R-Us entertainer and queen of ambiance is the woman he needs to pose as his wife and the mother of his two-year-old twins. He soon discovers he needs her in other ways, and in those ways, her needs are every bit as strong as
his.

This is such a great book!

Lea is a divorced woman who works with two of her friends in a business they started together. They are a trio of divorced women who decided to start up a company called Wives r us. What they do is act as hostess, cook and organizer for men who don't have wives, but need wife-type help.

Single dad Mike goes to Wives r us because he needs help getting his home organized for a dinner with some very important people that he wants a book deal with. He also wants to pretend that Lea is his wife. See, Mike is really Dr. Mike. Famous marriage counselor. The problem is that Mike's wife ran off with some guy on the internet, and he is terrified that the public will find out he couldn't keep his own marriage together and then lose his book deal.

What I liked most about this book is that Mike is such a wonderful guy. A lot of men in books these days seem to do one assholoic thing after another. They say hurtful things, act alpha macho, etc. Mike is a nice guy who isn't a weak pushover.

Dr. Mike is the type of man that we wish our daughters would bring home.

The emotional turmoil is very well written and believable. Lea is falling hard and fast for the Doctor, but she is a little uptight and isn't sure if she can be a good mother to his twins. Mike teaches her to relax and simply let go of some things. He watches her get close to his children and wishes that she was their mother.

An A from me. In Let me entertain you, the love scenes are scorching hot, the sexual tension as thick as syrup, the love story purely romantic and Dr. Mike is every woman's dream.
