Sharing Sunrise
The girl next door is now a woman, and she's determined to win his love
Marian Crane is fit to be tied. Rolph McKenzie--the man she's loved all her life--still sees her as a kid and refuses to take her seriously. So Marian decides it's time to stop playing it cool and turn up the heat. Her campaign of seduction will prove to the insufferable, yet irresistible, marina owner that she's the only woman for the job--and for him. The sexy, savvy woman he just interviewed is a world away from the fourteen-year-old tomboy Rolph taught to ride and roller skate. But he prefers having only one place to call home, and Marian loves the siren song of exotic, far-off ports of call. Is the passion sizzling between them strong enough to convince Marian to put down roots? Or will she pick up and leave again, this time taking Rolph's heart with her?

Sharing Sunrise by Judy Griffith Gill is the weakest of the trilogy. The story goes back to Rolph and to the girl next door, Marian.
If in first book Rolph has hard time to find a woman be course his brother gets the attention of every girls Rolph ever meets, then in this book, his problem is that he can not find a woman to be interested in him long enough to marry him. He is convinced there is no woman for him.
Since childhood he and his brother have been friends with their neighbor, much younger, Marian, who has always been awed by Rolph, but all that Rolph sees in her is the baby girl from next door. Marian is a bright young woman, who has studied in many universities, worked in many countries and on many professions and has had many different hair cuts and colors - for Rolph she is embodiment of a flickering flame, that he would never capture even if he tired. But Marian wants him, so she goes to work for him, even if Rolph agrees to employ her just for three months, since he is convinced that by that time she has already gotten bored with this job and leaves.
So they start their working relationship - Rolph not trusting Marian and Marian doing her best to prove her serious intentions. Then they start their intimate relationship - Rolph sure, that Marian will leave him soon and Marian sure that Rolph will leave her as soon as he finds his perfect wife. So they keep talking over each other and assuming all kinds of things before they know the truth and their mad tango gets really irritating pretty quickly. Rolph with his "Me Tarzan you Jane" attitude and Marian with her highly intelligent but also highly stupid act is so appropriate to the time it was written, but sounds so wrong now.
It was readable, but didn't really work together with the first two books.
