Book Reviews of Housekeeper To The Millionaire (Harlequin Presents Extra)
Book Review: Rancher needed to be a bit more humble
Summary: 2 Stars
Here's the premise: virginal attractive former school teacher is down on her luck, totally hot rancher needs a housekeeper. Schoolteacher applies for and gets job but is warned by rancher that he is not the marrying kind in the interview. Add a few ranch hands, some characters from the past and you have the essence of this novel.
Rancher Win Garrison is arrogant and it made it really hard to like him. He spent almost the whole novel trying to persuade housekeeper Carlene into bed with no commitment. I especially disliked the way he could not define what kind of relationship he wanted, not a one night stand but not marriage either. He kept saying there was something in the middle but I never knew where he was going with this proposition and neither did he.
Carlene is likeable and sassy to boot. She constantly has to put him in his place and not just about their romantic relationship but also about her duties as a housekeeper. Win promises his sister he will look after her kids as she has her minor breakdown, (his sister just has to get away because she needs to be appreciated). Instead of watching them he is thrusts that duty upon Carlene, even when she refuses he talks right over her.
Carlene's commitment to marriage is understandable and even laudable. Win's attitude is also understandable; his first wife left him. However, he makes the mistake way too often of thinking that Carlene is like his first wife. His disregard for Carlene's feelings got old fast.
The ending is nice and I like the transformation of Win but it was a little too late for me.
