About the author
Mary Lynn Baxter
148 books31 followersMary Lynn Baxter was born on 28 July 1943 in Lufkin, Texas, USA, where she bred, home of the cowboy - hero of the Western romance, which is one of the most popular of the category's sub-genres. She would be the first to say that it's her background that gives her a unique feel for romance writing.
Since she was a young girl, books and reading have been an important part of her life. Only after she read all the "goodies" in her public library did her mother encourage her to buy Harlequin romances, then 35 cents each. Wow! Those reading years laid the background for her decision to major in Library Science at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, and become a school librarian.
After eight years of working in various school systems, she felt a need to do something different. What she wanted was to open a bookstore. With the help of her husband, Leonard, and her mother, Mary Lynn did just that. For over 20 years she sold books, and loved every minute of it. Then Mary Lynn decided she needed a new challenge. Following an intense amount of pushing and prodding from her husband she took the plunge and tried her hand at writing.
After months of agonising and chewing her nails, she finally mailed All our Tomorrows to Silhouette books in February 1981. One year later it was published as a Silhouette Special Edition. Now, over 40 books later, she's still writing. Mary Lynn can't think of anything else she'd rather do with her time and energy. She surfaces from her writing, she's a voracious reader. But this petite dynamo is always happy to tumble out of her world of fiction into her local fitness center for a bracing workout. She's also dedicated to her volunteer work... and still manages to fit in plenty of quality time with her family at their home in Lufkin, Texas.

LA MEJOR APUESTA
Protagonistas: Jeremiah Davis y Bridget Martin
Argumento:
Jeremiah Davis, un duro ranchero, asistió a una subasta de solteros con la intención de encontrar una esposa...
Lo último que Bridget Martin recordaba era que había adquirido a un atractivo desconocido en una subasta para obtener fondos, de modo que, ¿cómo era posible que al despertar fuera su esposa?
Jeremiah había empujado a la incauta Bridget al matrimonio, pero sabía que su flamante esposa merecía conocer toda la verdad. Sin embargo, la noche de bodas que pasaron juntos fue tan real que el vaquero empezó a desear con todas las fuerzas que su nueva esposa fuera alguien que pudiera amar, alguien a quien su hija pudiera llamar mamá.

This book was marred by substantial problems that detracted from the overall experience.
First off, having sex with someone who is obviously intoxicated isn't going to eandear me to the hero. He appeared creepy, but not as unlikeable as the heroine. For most of the book, I struggled to connect with her due to her off-putting attitude. Unfortunately, her change of heart came too late to win me over.
Second, I was tired of the crude sexual innuendos. Especially if you take into consideration how I viewed the hero. The book didn't feel sexy or sensual. "Warm tongue" in someone's ear makes me shudder. Also, I got tired of how much he wanted to be inside her.

"I never get tired of burying myself inside you."Last, comparing heroine's short red hair to a "burning bush" isn't very flattering.
"I never get tired of feeling you inside me, either."
