2: Two Really Great Stories!!
First story is about a young woman who has secretly loved the hero for years. But as for the hero he is determined not to love her but deep down he really does. I cried along with the heroine at one point it was so sad. It is a bit bitersweet because of what the hero's sister assumes has happened between her boyfriend and the heroine. And you can just feel the hero's hear breaking when everything is revealed. Truly a terrific story.
Second story is about a secretary who falls in love with the hero's children and then falls for the hero who does not want to love again, does he change his mind? Of course! I really liked the part were the hero's brother is trying to make him admit his feelings for the heroine by giving her a kiss just when the hero is walking through the door,whew talk about tempers!

3: Great Book
I have to start out by saying that I loved this book. Both stories were great! I have re-read them a hundred times. I really loved the story of Mack and Natalie. I loved the fact that he was blind in one eye AND that Natalie was the only person that could get him through the rough times. Finally, we get a woman charcter that is just as strong, if not stronger than the male lead. The line, "Every woman's dream until he opens his mouth" was a great line. I think of that phrase when I think of this story. Although I can't believe she didn't punch him in the face when he was saying those horrible things to her in front of everybody on the street. The second story was great also. I loved the fact that it was a more buisness type story. When he was going through her refrences...I cracked up. There is a lot of sadness in "Circle of Gold". I kinda found it hard to believe that this woman had so much tragedy in her life, but that's what makes it a good book. (Escape from reality for a little while) I think the first story was more believeable than the second but I would recommend this book to anybody.

4: FINALLY - SOME GALS WHO DON'T SLEEP AROUND!
Both stories are about young women who find love in their innocence. And about men who refuse to completely compromise these young women's virginity. Yes, this is a very powerful emotional balance.
As these were billed as The Men of Medicine Ridge, I was waiting to see if they knew each other. Never did find out.
Mack Killian has been raising his siblings and Natalie Brock, an orphan taken in by the Killian family, have a very strong attraction. Mack has lost the sight of one eye from a bull goring and Natalie helped strengthen his will to pull through.
He can't see taking on a wife and saddling her with his responsibilities. But his two brothers and sister actually do love Natalie. Almost as much as he does. Which, of course he won't give into his love.
Yea! Natalie somehow wins in the end --- you will love these stories. Finally, the ladies are not tramps.
Gil Callister is in need of a secretary for his brother, John.
When he asks Kasie why she wants the job. [I love her answer] "Because John is a dish!"
He is also fascinated by her odd character references. "A Catholic priest, a nun, a Texas Ranger and a self-made millionaire with alleged mob ties."
And then he finds out that she and her brother were named for this mercenary - K.C. Kantor [what a story]
Kasie actually turns Gil's life upside-down. His secretary claims not to know how to use a computer. His nanny does not like baby-sitting. And Kasie just does not like doing taxes. And she has a fear of flying. Wait till you find out how the group resolves itself - especially when Gil sees his brother kiss Kasie.
D.P. has given us a couple of real men, although Mack was a bit of a tom-cat. And these two women are worthy of being definitely female [not a pair of alley-cats]
There is enough emotional tension without the bed hopping to make fantastic romance - this is what some of us dream of finding.
Decent guys!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with no reservations -- definitely a keeper for those of us with high ideals.

5: A Die-Hard DP Fan, but Not of This!
I've read most of DP's books; some I've loved & read over & over again; some were so boring that I just had to skip-through.... I'm sorry to say that I had to skip-through the first 2/3 of the first story in this book -- Wedding in White. It was not as sensual or gripping as some of her better works. Only the last 1/3 of the story was gripping, and I would give about 2.5 stars for this story....
What was worse was the second story in this book -- Circle of Gold. It just didn't make any kind of sense! There were just so many contradictions in this story that made me believe that DP must have written this one while she was dozing-off, and I can't believe that anyone who has the least bit of analytical mind would give this story more than a 1 star!
