Ah, the first trilogy by Ms. Roberts I ever read - By: jazzy pom, 07 Nov 2007
Laura Templeton, on the cusp of her thirtieth birthday finds herself divorced with two girls, battling debts left by her ex husband, & livingin the Templeton mansion alone. Her two friends (Margo & Kate) are loved up with their significant others, & once a week, they met up, searching for the coins of Seraphina's chest, a sweet legend & a bond that keeps them true. This is Laura's life, & she's learning to make the best of it, but she's not happy. Not really.

Out of the blue, her brother, Josh requests a favour of her: can she rent stable space to Mick Fury (a childhood friend) for a while? Just until he fixes his stables up, see? Because he lost hisin a landslide.

Laura says yes, & meets Mick Fury, & the attraction is instantenous. Mick is mad, bad & dangerous to know, & Laura finds herself swept upin him, but has to deal with her two girls & the emotional storm clouds that threaten to gather.

I recommend this book because it's a great basic, bread-and-butter romance. There is no killer on the loose, no mystical hocus pocus. It's rare that you find romance novels like this nowadays, where the writer trusts the reader to take the characters on board, not needing the ADD of guns & spells & magick. The emotion is so pure at times, it shimmers from the page, & this book is just as good as book one (with Margo).

Well worth the read, highly recommended.
