About this ebook


FALLING IN LOVE SEEMED LIKE THE NEIGHBORLY THING TO DO

Tucker Hollis was the last thing cautious Margaret McAllister needed. Her perfectly organized, perfectly predictable life was just fine without the handsome single dad and his rambunctious little children. Why, she and Tucker were exact opposites! But you know what they say about opposites attracting.

Tucker didn't know what it was about his prickly neighbour, but he was smitten. And he was bent on seduction. All Margaret needed was to loosen up a bit and have some fun. And he was just the guy to help her with those goals. Whether she knew it or not, she was perfect mom and wife material!

    This was my first Ellen James, though I have a slew of her backlist, and I was very impressed with her writing style: very smooth, very concise and literate. Now this isn't rocket science, dear readers; this is category romance but even in this genre you have the fine writers and the mediocre ones and James definitely falls into the former. Plot revolves around the man next door (our hero) rents the house so he can watch his next door neighbor (the heroine) to find out if she murdered her husband. The plot has been used before but in the hands of a good writer, someone who writes with heart and soul, even a much-used plot can be thoroughly enjoyable and readable. The sign of a good read for me is when I start it I can't put the book down, like meeting someone for the first time and you both do the getting-to-know you dance. You don't know if you're going to like one another so you circle each other, testing the waters. Once in a while you meet someone (or in this case a good book or a new author) and you immediately click. I think Ellen James and I are going to be REALLY good friends in the future. I love this writer. Recommended for a nice, heart-warming read. Sex in this one was mild and minimal which I can like; sometimes the sex just takes over to compensate for an average plot or average writing.. Do try this author.
