Last-Minute Proposal
by
Jessica Hart
Exciting and delightfully humorous:
puts a smile in the heart
Tilly
got roped into a charity fund raiser and now she is on a cliff
roped to this handsome, outdoorsy Marine type man scared out of her
wits. Campbell cannot believe his partner for this game is so, well,
feminine. She sure feels nice against his body but that is no way to
win the race, and for him, winning is the ultimate goal! Nothing else
matters. When the next stage of game takes another turn, will Campbell
be able to put his manly exterior aside to work with Tilly? Will these
two opposites somehow come together? Can they deny their sizzling
attraction? Outside of the game, can two people with such different
lives and goals come together for more than a quick romance?
I just love Jessica Hart's writing and LAST-MINUTE PROPSOSAL, her
50th book, a pure delight. I could not put it down. The hero and
heroine are fantastic, plain and simple --- and even better when
Jessica Hart puts them together. The vivacious Tilly is full of energy
and spunk with a big heart. Campbell is all business with a powerful
body to match, a man of honor who provides support in tense moments,
but when called on to improvise, especially for the woman he loves,
Campbell has just as much determination along with a romantic heart and
flexibility to adapt to surprises put before him. Campbell knows how to
come up with a surprise or two himself!
Jessica Hart's setting, the game, brings out the best in her
characters as each episode places one in the other's familiar terrain.
The game takes all the best from reality television while end goals for
each character reveal the hearts of both Tilly sand Campbell outside
the game. Jessica Hart's characterization and depiction of the
interactions in human relationships makes the game feel both real and
delightfully humorous, unlike my past favorite reality shows that have
become more self-centered PR and less and less satisfying. Jessica Hart
makes the game more exciting, intimate and uplifting, as the game
focuses on the interactions between players. Quite simply, her players
are characters to love and the setting of each episode reveals their
hearts, their strengths and their ability to work together. A wonderful
surprise ending to the game puts a smile in the heart on the last page.
LAST-MINUTE PROPOSAL
is a bit lighter in tone than Jessica Hart's
two previous books, every bit as wonderful. LAST-MINUTE PROPOSAL is an
absolute reading treat. Jessica Hart has a way of writing that
captivates no matter what kind of story she tells. Jessica Hart
romances delight with her insights into the human heart. In words,
characters, dialog, scenes and conflicts, Jessica Hart tells a story
that opens the hearts of her characters and the reader. What a
wonderful way to celebrate 50 books with her readers! LAST-MINUTE
PROPOSAL is a romance that readers will hold in their hearts
long after
the last page.
