The story only a former priest would dare to tell...

They are excellent priests in every way, and lifelong friends since Seminary. They are devoted to the Catholic Church and to their callingsbut their vital desires, powerful needs and overwhelming love for the women in their lives must always remain clandestine beneath the vows of physical purity. How can two men face lifetimes in service to the Church when the Church demands that love be ignored? How can they believe in a just and compassionate God who demands such unbearable denials?

OMG!! So many twists and turns!! The characters were total train wrecks and utterly despicable, but I found that I couldn't stop reading!! You think you had it figured out, then BAM!, another twist. Hated the ending, though.

This is the third in the Chandler Brothers trilogy. It can stand alone, but why not read the first two books, The Bachelor and The Playboy? It'll make more sense.


A Home of Her Own (Dundee, Idaho, Bk 4) (Harlequin Superromance, No 1242)
Review Date: 8/4/2005


Her mother always said if you couldnt be rich youd better be lucky!

When Lucky Caldwell was ten, her mother, Red the best-known hooker in Dundee, Idaho married Morris Caldwell, a wealthy and much older man. It didn't last, of course, but Morris's kindness was the highlight of Lucky's life.

Mike Hill, Morris's grandson, doesn't feel too well-disposed toward Red or her kids. He believes they alienated Morris from his family. Even Morris's Victorian mansion, on the property next to the Hill ranch, wasn't inherited by one of his grandchildren. Instead the house went to Lucky, who left it sitting empty for years.

Now that Red and Morris are both dead, Lucky has finally come back to Dundee. She plans to restore the derelict place and to look for her real father, who has to be one of three men named in her mother's diary.

That means Mike has a new neighbor.

One he doesn't want to like

Lucy Lake's Rules:

1. Anything can be cured by shopping.

2. A little extra sleep can't hurt (even if it might cost you your job!)

3. Only when you're absolutely, positively desperate do you dare move back home!

So not quite sure of her next step, Lucy has turned her attention to her late mother's garden. With old Mr. Polhemus's help, surely she can bring some life back into the roses? Oops. The new (i.e., definitely not old!) gardener has some ideas about what Lucy should be doingand not doing.

But sometimes the best outfits appear in the least likely places. And it looks as though something is finally about to bloom....

The story between Jill and Alex wasn't good, but I loved the flashback story of Kate and Edward and the rivalry between her and her best friend Anne. That's all I'm gonna say about it. You'll just have to read the book to understand the connection between the four people.
