Holly
She is a fragile innocent haunted by memories of her past and by dreams of the man who once shared her secrets...the only man she can ever truly love.
Shannon
One of the world's great beauties, her face and figure grace the fashion pages of the most elegant magazines. Though many desire her, only one may have her.
By revising and padding her first contemporary romance, Lowell (Autumn Lover) has created a new full-length novel. Holly Shannon North is a tomboy turned fashion model who meets up with former flame, Linc McKenzie, during a photo shoot near Palm Springs. She realizes that Linc loves "Holly," the girl she was at 16, but has no interest in "Shannon," the sophisticated cover girl she has become. Holly tries to convince Linc, who seems to believe otherwise, that beauty does not equal evil. The love scenes are trademark Lowell: dynamic, sensual and thoroughly satisfying, but the book's premise is so weak and the characters so flat they can't sustain the added (in fact, doubled) verbiage. (Sept.)

Desert Rain
I am going to start my review with a whopper of a spoiler: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU SHY AWAY FROM BOOKS WITH RAPE/PRACTICALLY RAPE SCENES!
Some reviewers will argue, but the way the hero took-and I mean took-the heroine's virginity was tantamount to rape.
There were so many things wrong with this book for me (for me):
* Why didn't he try to reach her once she became an adult? I know the aunt tried to keep them away, but he should have been on a plane the DAY she turned 18 to "claim his woman"! She literally had to be in his own backyard for this "love" to happen. Puhlease! Oh, he "loved" her so much but couldn't pick up the darn phone? Of course, she remained steadfast to her virginal love vigil but he had no problems "sating his lusts" elsewhere.
* He punishes women 'cause his beautiful mother and step-mama were beautiful women who happened to have loose morals? He beds beautiful women but keeps his obviously beautiful step-sister "plain" and wants to marry his "plain" former jail bait love interest?
* Oh...and how could he NOT know it was Holly when he first saw her as Shannon? Oh, that's right...he knew it on some "level" but warred with himself? Give me a freaking break! Better yet, someone smack this idiot upside his head.
There's more, but I have grown weary of this book's existence in my life. I checked it out on audiobook from the library; so, at least I didn't have to PAY for this torture!
Must end on a positive note: She did grow a backbone and kicked his butt out of her life...after he said that she had basically learned some new tricks with the "wanna be OM" in the FIVE DAYS since they had last seen each other. Oh, and this was AFTER they'd JUST FINISHED making love-having sex!!
Oops..that wasn't positive. How's this? She puts the hero's ex-he was with her THE DAY BEFORE HE MAKES A MOVE ON THE HEROINE (BREATHE)-in her place.
