One of my favorite all
time romance novels is actually a compilation of three novels. The Callahan Brothers Trilogy by Joann
Ross consists of three novels. While the books are sold separately, I bought
the large and very thick paperback years ago and have read it so many times now
I’m afraid to open it anymore for fear the pages will start to fall out.
The first one, Blue Bayou centers Danielle Dupree who
returns to her childhood hometown as a widow with a young son, she discovers
that her "bad boy" first love, Jack Callahan, has also come home. But
even as their passion reignites, Dani and Jack know that secrets hang in the
air...and that the past may ruin their second chance at having a
once-in-a-lifetime love.
The second story,
Magnolia Moon involves FBI agent Finn Callahan. He owes his brother, the mayor,
a favor. So when visiting television star Julia Summers receives a death
threat, it's up to Finn to guarantee her safety. Free-spirited Julia figures
she'll just use her feminine wiles to keep the stern but handsome bodyguard out
of her way...until her attraction to Finn puts them both in danger of falling
passionately in love.
The third and final
story in the trilogy is River Road.
In it, L.A. homicide detective, Regan Hart having just discovered that she's
adopted, comes to Blue Bayou to uncover her true identity. With the help of
Nate Callahan, the town's mayor and most eligible bachelor, Regan slowly pieces
together the puzzle of her family's history -- and finds herself unexpectedly
losing her heart to Nate.
All three of these
stories can tug at your heart in different ways. I think that’s what always
makes me go back to them. All three of the Callahan brothers are strong and
self reliant men who find they are completely helpless to the allures of the
three women who steal their heart. If I had to pick though, I would say that
the first book, Blue Bayou is my
favorite. However, I will admit that having the lead character, Jack being
former Military doesn’t hurt that assessment. I have a tendency to hold a soft
spot for all things Military.
Now
for a glimpse into Nicole’s book, Intimate
Persuasions, a Siren Classic and an erotic contemporary romance, which is
the second book from her Intimate Temptations trilogy with cowboys! Yay!
Ann moved to Oakdale for a fresh start, and when she
met Quinn, a sexy cowboy, she instantly fell for him. Unable to deny herself
the need to have him, she gives in to a secret fantasy, only to fear their
relationship will end before it truly starts.
Quinn soon realizes Ann means more to him than he ever
could have imagined. He feels a connection with her that's much deeper than
physical, but he has secret desires he keeps to himself, afraid to scare her
with what he wants most.
Will they find a way to show each other their true
selves and finally love each other completely? And if so, will Ann give him a
part of herself she has given to no man before?
