No sooner had Creighton Brown arrived back home in Temple, Ohio, than his eccentric but well-meaning family dispatched the worldly traveler on a little troubleshooting mission down Texas way. The object of this goodwill trip: Susanne Taylor, the foster sibling Cray hadn't laid eyes on in nine years.
Susanne had turned into an eyeful, all right... a sweet, sassy woman who'd been left stranded at the altar! What man in his right mind would do such a thing? Cray wondered. So he set out to give Susanne some T.L.C.--fast! But could this wandering bachelor ever truly settle down?
FABULOUS BROWN BROTHERS: Three maddeningly marvelous men meet their matches in three deliciously delightful women.
Lass Small (September 15, 1923-January 26, 2011) was an American writer of over 60 romance novels from 1983 to 2000. She also signed her novelas as Cally Hughes and Callie Hugher.
Cute, fun read but I think I missed when he started to realize he loved the heroine. I feel a re-read coming on. Also, the writing style...well, it was almost like I was reading a list at times.
3.5 stars. First off, I should say that when I was younger I really enjoyed Lass Small's Lambert series. I find her books usually funny with a little bit of suspense. Now as an adult who has read a lot more romances and have regularly reviewed books, I've realized that LS has a very unique method of story telling. The narration is removed 3rd person; yes you know what is being thought, but you aren't feeling what they think/feel. This detached viewpoint can let the reader know what is happening in the mind of a passing secondary character to create humor, yet tends to leave the reader disengaged from the H&h. So if you really like 1st person POV, you will probably not like this narration style.
I think the characters in this story were well developed. The plot was decent as they get to reknow each other. There were a few bits of humor in the story, but not lots. This book also contains a trigger topic that may be disturbing to the reader, but it doesn't dwell to much on the topic Overall, a decent story.
