Twin Obsessions

by L. Langdon

Marianne Woodson has a very clear life plan--to follow her mother's career path into politics in her rural Virginia county. This plan has become an obsession since her mother's untimely death. It does not include having a family and it certainly does not include allowing herself to become attracted to a "California Viking" who is a reminder of one of her most embarrassing moments. Jack Nissen knew what he wanted out of life from an early age. He wanted to be a biology researcher--and to call his own shots while doing so. It was an immense satisfaction to be a vital part of a successful research company in San Francisco, and he is obsessed with advancing their work. Still, he can't forget ‘Angel,’ a girl he saw briefly, under peculiar circumstances, at a football game in college. This, then, is the story of their unexpected re-encounter, and how they reconcile their conflicting professional roles with their growing attraction for each other.

Country Mouse and the Lab Rat

This was my first read by this author. I almost didn't read it because the cover made the book look boring. It was a little different from the IR books that I typically read. Overall it was a good read but it was a little too slow moving for me. I found myself saying get to the point in several parts of the book, and even skimming a bit. I got a bit tired of hearing about their obsessions, we get it they were workaholics 😟. Overall this was a clean story with pretty likeable characters and not much drama. Not much heat but lots of plot development. I give it 3.5 stars.

Thanks to the previous reviewers on Amazon, I finally read the book and let me tell you this...it really is a good book! The cover doesn't really do it justice. It's a sweet, well-written story, about 2 people reunited after 15 years. They both have dreams and would do everything to pursue it. The book does have love scene, not too explicit which is fine by me. I am more into the dynamics of their relationship. I loved how the author portrayed their characters and made everything seem to make sense. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to another one by this author.
