Carly Linton returns to Benton, Georgia, after 12 years in Chicago, ready to start a new life by opening a B&B in her grandmother's home with her friend, Sandy. While moving in, they encounter Matt Converse, Carly's old boyfriend, now the town sheriff, and soon the girls are attacked by a prowler in Carly's home. As the story progresses, the flames are rekindled between Matt and Carly, but she is also attacked several more times by the unknown stalker. As Pamela Steele relates the details of the attacks, her tones are ominous and quick paced. When she reads the steamy scenes between the lovers, the details are quite risqué, and Steele's voice turns husky and deep. Steele follows the twists and turns of the mystery with tenacity, and the sex scenes with heat and vigor.

A model and a mogul get married in Vegas on a bet, and Diana Luke narrates their story with élan. While it would be easy to portray Leila Darling as a scheming caricature or Carter Bain as a ruthless businessman, Luke never crosses that line. Her portrayal of Leila is generous and encompasses the full range of her character--from the formidable professional at the top of her game to the vulnerable woman who is unsure if she can trust a man with her heart. Likewise, Luke's portrayal of Carter showcases both his business acumen and his emotional vulnerability as he opens himself up to Leila. While loosely connected to the previous Unconventional Brides volumes, this can easily stand alone.

Review Posted Online: Jan. 22, 2026
After her divorce, Roberta Jewett, with her three daughters, returns to Camden, Maine, to start a new life. Such an independent move in 1916 brings difficulties with her mother, her in-laws and the townspeople. Dukes's performance, while skillful, sometimes suffer in scenes of emotional content. His pace slows, and his reading acquires the peculiar emphasis of someone trying to get instructions across to a non-English-speaking person. The effect is disturbingly laughable. When he resumes his normal pace, the story revives and personalities emerge again, but the awkwardness remains as an odd interruption to Spencer's drama of pain and love, dispelling Dukes's carefully constructed characterizations.
