Here's a May review of a terrific book!

AN INTIMATE BARGAIN

Colorado Cattle Barons

Barbara Dunlop

Harlequin Desire #2158

ISBN:  978-0-373-73171-8

May 2012

Category Romance

This latest in a terrific series, this book tells the story of Zach Rainer, a self-made man who is CEO of a beer brewery and eager to get the water rights that will allow one of his beers to continue production.  Abigail Jacobs meets him one night in a local bar and they engage in the quintessential one night stand.  They have no idea of each other’s identity and are shocked when they encounter each other around the water rights issues. 

Abigail, who loves the business world, has reluctantly gone back to her family’s successful ranch to help her brother.  Not knowing who he is, she tells Zach much more than intended.  When he uses this information to get her help she is furious.  Yet, she cannot help the growing passion between them and soon the one night stand is much more intense.

This is a really well done category romance, filled with excellent character development, a well thought out plot, and hot romance between two likable characters.  I was very pleased at the high quality of this book.  You will get your monies worth on this one—kudos to Ms. Dunlop for a great novel.
