The Caseys #1
Lady on the Line
Even from a distance, K.C. Rollins knows the man's a ladykiller. But she dances with him anyway ... and unwittingly sets off a shattering explosion of feeling.
Barrett Redding is almost more man than K.C. can handle—arrogantly chauvinistic one moment, hot and tender the next. But as linelady for an electric company and as a single parent, she's learned to be strong. And she won't submit to Barrett—despite his power to ruin her career, threaten her brother, charm her son ... and arouse her to trembling yearning. Then, beneath Barrett's unyielding masculine stance, she begins to sense a vulnerability that touches her heart ... and threatens to crush her last resistance!

November 6, 2014I just finished this book and for some reason, it didn't leave much of an impression to me. I got the book because the heroine's job is not often portrayed in a book. I like her, I like the hero as well, I even like the small town world of the book.
I like the heroine the first time I met her. She's a fun sister and I admired her more when she held herself against the hero's 'come on' maneuver. I even liked her as a mother. But as the book progressed, she became a double minded woman who thinks one thing and then do completely the opposite thing when it came with the hero. What I'm saying is that she's strong as woman and very good at her job but when the hero undermined her job she just shouts for a few breath and then do the what the hero said.
I think the heroine's doubleminded-ness and her hot and cold attitude towards the hero just disconnected her to me. Even her repeated description of how handsome and fit the hero is became overly done after the prose is repeated over and over again. When she finally stopped dithering and slept with the hero the story became engaging.
The Hero himself is your typical rich, jet-setting jerk and chauvinist disguised as an alpha male. His 'protectiveness' is cute at the beginning but when he started to use his position to undermine a good worker, he lost my sympathy. By the time the author revealed how his life was before meeting the h, I didn't care anymore for a man like that. Sure he's a good friend, a good coach to the heroine's son's team, handsome, rich, and even a great lover.
As a whole though, the book can be quite engaging if you connect with this kind of characters. The chemistry should be sizzling between them and it can be quite entertaining to watch the hero bulldoze his way to the heroine's life and heart. I would have loved the almost stalker way he pursued her and laugh at his antics. Unfortunately, I can't connect with the two main characters. Some editing problems: missing words or words that does not belong and the there/their kind of mistakes.
As I'm aware readers has different tastes and likes, I'm putting these out there for those who need more info before buying a book.
