A Kiss to Dream On
A Tender Kiss...
When Slick Waynick left her pregnant and alone at the altar, Gideon Forbes claimed Arliss Mallard as his bride. Strong, honest Gideon risked his reputation as deputy sheriff of Granite, Montana, and lied to save her honor. But though she had pledged to be his partner for life, she dreamed of Slick, who had promised to return and sweep her away. So why was it Gideon's touch that took her breath away, melted her insides, and touched her heart?
A Hungry Kiss...
Gideon had loved Arliss all his life. He knew he was not the first to claim her, but bound by vows to honor and cherish, he was determined to be the man she loved best. If only he could tell her what was in his heart. It was sweet agony, sharing the same bed, feeling her warmth, tasting the hunger, the need--until she said yes to passion. Then he swore no other man would ever come between them, that only he could give her . . .

I don't think i have ever hated a heroine more. Thebook is well written, the characters interesting, but my God what a TSTL heroine. Actually, not stupid, just plain spoiled and cruel.
**** SPOILER****
He married her because the boyfriend left her pregnant at the altar, hero was always in love blablabla, nothing new. In the beginning of the marriage, you see them trying to make it work, he is the epitome of a gentleman and respects her feelings and condition, which I admire in a hero.
I know she is pregnant, hormones are sky rocketing, but what she does to him is inexcusable. The good for nothing father of the child comes back, sweet talks her, she allows him in her house alone, accepts jewelry from him (after he stole money from her when he ran the first time), and defends his presence to the husband she "came to love" because someone said they saw him at a brothel (he went there on an assigment). She beieves the lies the father tells, even though she knows him a liar.
There is a conversation between hero and heroine that goes "I can't be with a man wo I don't trust" "But you were with that son of a bitch" "Yeah, but I didn't expect much from him"... Then why the hell did you sleep with him? On several ocasions? And agreed to marry him? And gave him all your money before he ran with it??

Arliss Mallard was abandoned at the altar by her fiance, Slick Waynick. When Gideon Forbes told her that Slick had left town, he was shocked to find out that Arliss was also pregnant. So, he offered to marry her right now and let everyone believe that the baby was his. Gideon had loved Lissie since she was 13 years old. He knew that she still loved Slick, but he was determined to be the man she loved best.
This was a very good marriage of convenience story. I loved how shy Gideon was with Arliss at the beginning of the book. And Arliss felt so bad about getting him pulled into the mess her life had become. As usual with Mittman's books, there was a major event in the middle of the story which really shakes things up for the characters. My only problem with the book is the fact that it took so long for Arliss to come around and believe what Gideon was telling her. My rating: 4 Stars.

This author has written some beautiful romances that I have loved. Though this book tried hard to be one such story, in my opinion there were too many obstacles. Secrets, misunderstandings and lies (oh, my), three pet peeves of mine, were relied upon heavily and I was more than weary of them by about two-thirds of the way through.There was also a subplot that didn't seem to serve much purpose except for proving how good a man the hero was and to keep him away from the heroine a lot.
By the time things worked out and everyone knew all, it was 3 pages before the epilogue, not nearly enough time for me. Yes, you'll get your HEA, but you have to work for it.
