I read Desert Rose ( my review here ) and loved it-that was Book#1 in this series. More then Friends is Book#4 which should tell you something-these novels are definite stand alones. I do think I want to eventually read Books 2 and 3. Laura Taylor is an extremely gifted romance writer.
More Then Friends is definitely a romance worth reading--it will keep you wondering and hoping that Leah and Brett get back together. Never mind that he left her 6 years before because--well-he never did tell her the truth (and you will have to read it to believe it).
Leah was kidnapped and has no memory of anything-even of who she is--Brett, who feels guilty stays with her to protect her. Even with total memory loss Leah knows she wants and trusts Brett who is doing his dardest to stay as just friends. He didn't think that once she regained her memory she would ever love him again. Leah does not give up and as her memory slowly returns the only thing she is sure of is that she and Brett belong together.

I appreciate stand-alones because I like to dive right in when I find a book. It'd be a disappointment to have to hunt down the others when I'm excited to get going. This sounds like a great story. I love a good love story.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of an 1800s fiction reader. However, reading about this book has me interested in reading the entire thing.
