This is Beyoncé’s fault! I’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH ALL THINGS, COWBOY AND COUNTRY DUE TO RENAISSANCE ACT TWO: COWBOY CARTER!🤠

Much as I love, Brenda Jackson, this book is very forgettable. It just didn’t have the same sensuality, swoon, and stakes that her books normally have. Decent, but not great. And the Texas cattlemen mystery wasn’t that interesting either.

Oh well I still love Brenda Jackson. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mark Hartman was a little cold wasn't he? However, never fear Brenda Jackson makes sure the heroine gets her man.

I think I am outgrowing these short novels. I finished this book, but it took longer than usual.

"I need you, Alli." -- Mark Hartman, desperate new dad. Did Mark mean what (administrative assistant) Alison Lind hoped? Was her boss declaring his passion for her? Did he really feel the same way she secretly felt for him? Apparently not. Turned out that what Alison wanted and what Mark needed were two different things. Instead of asking her to be his lover, he was asking her to be (temporary nanny) to his baby niece Erika. Not an ounce of desire in sight. Or was there? Living together, spending time in intimate surroundings, created a sensual tension too powerful to ignore. How long before this strictly business relationship turned into a strictly passionate predicament?

Ms. Jackson does well in this collaborative effort...looking forward to the remainder of the series

Good

I'm looking forward to checking out more books in this series. This seems to be a really good series. I love Brenda Jacksons Books.

Short & Sweet

I love Brenda Jackson's story. The problem with the Silhouette Desire is their too short and usually a continuation of someone else's idea. So, unless you read the whole series you might miss out on something or you might not get the whole idea behind the series. However, I enjoyed the heated tension between Alli and Mark. Once they were under his roof together it was like they couldn't stop the electric currents they kept passing to one another. As my headline says, it was short and sweet romance.

Good, passionate, fun & quick read. The passion between the characters was great but ended too abruptly as the mystery part wasn't solved (guessed at, but not actually solved).

Free book a friend let me read & will be passing into someone else...

Wish there was an order or something so know how the 1910 diary fit in

Brenda Jackson has written many wonderful books. My favorites are books among the Westmoreland Series and the Steele Series. Those are books to revisit/reread. Strictly Confidential did not read in the style I appreciate as Brenda Jackson.

Not one of my favorites. Not enough about the diary mystery.
