Love older heroines and alpha heroes? This one’s for you!
Slater Roxton, our intrepid hero, is an archaeologist. Bastard son of a noble and an actress, Slater has grown up on the outskirts of polite society, but his father’s regard for his mother (and for him) still gives him an in with said society, and gives him some leeway in regards to his business affairs. His life, as well as his general philosophies, change after he is trapped in a ruin and left behind for a year on a supposedly deserted island. He seems determined to live a relatively quiet life before he meets Ursula.
Ursula Kern is a strong, independent woman. After a scandal involving the death of her husband, she has remade herself, including a new name, new home, and a brand-new business of providing professional secretarial help. She is determined to investigate the death of her good friend and coworker Anne, but has no idea what she’ll find. Turning to Slater for assistance turns out to be a bit more than she bargained for as well – instead of just giving her advice, he quickly takes over her investigation. Which, it turns out, involves an international drug ring, organized crime, prostitution, assassins, and more.

This Balogh is sweet, low key and focused on family.
I would recommend Someone Perfect to fans of the author, especially those enjoying the Westcott series. While not Balogh’s best work, it’s a good book and definitely worth reading.

We do so enjoy Bell’s books. This is the first in her Wilder series. It’s a good time.
Big city East Coast girl comes to a small town in the Pacific Northwest to work with a family with five brawny, gorgeous brothers (and one married sister) who run a failing outdoor adventure company. All five are single and will, one assumes, in five books, find true love. This book’s hero was burned by a city girl in the past and will never love again. The marketing savvy heroine hates small towns and trusts no one due to a tragic past. Throw in a severe case of insta-lust, a meet cute involving ducklings, and way too many jokes about the heroine’s inappropriate footwear–this is rural Oregon for heaven’s sake!–and you have Make Me Wilder.
Now Dabney, you say, you say this like it’s a bad thing!
OK, OK, it’s not a bad thing. I enjoyed this book. Bell is a terrific witty writer and her characters, despite being tropey types, are interesting and have just enough quirks that they’re kinda adorable. The sex is hot and the family dynamics–I especially like the Wilder women–are well-done and believable. And given that Jill Shalvis, Sarah Morgan, and Kristan Higgins have all moved to women’s fiction, Bell is a good replacement for those looking for sexy, fun, contemporary romance.
