Appartient à la sérieWinston Brothers and Cousins (Omnibus 1-4)
All four Winston brothers are scorchingly handsome, sensually passionate-and stubbornly proud. Left alone in the world after their parents' deaths, they learned to depend on each other-and to cherish the bond that holds them together. Now, with their disarming charm and sexy smiles, they will inspire readers' wildest, most sensuous fantasies-and will surely become the men of their dreams.

***½ "Tangled Dreams". I liked this more and at the same time disliked it more than "Tangled Sheets". Another virgin. ARGH. And a hero who apparently can't get it up unless he's got the woman tied up. Double argh. Hey, I have no problem with a little bondage, particularly as mild as it was in this story, but when the hero won't even look at a woman unless he thinks she'll let him tie her up, then I think he needs to get help. LOL Okay, on to what I DID like about it--the heroine lives with ghosts, who SOMEHOW have made it so that the hero can hear the heroine's thoughts. Much fun.
*** "Tangled Images". At least the heroine isn't a virgin this time. In fact, she's 6 years older than the hero, which is refreshing. In the previous stories, I mostly objected to the story cliches--the writing was fine. In this one, the writing wasn't up to the standard of the previous ones. Sentences seemed choppy and some phrases seemed really out of date (maybe to emphasize that the heroine was older? Please--she's 15 years younger than me, and I don't use them). Heroine's a photographer, taking pix of the hero in men's underwear for an ad for his SILs' store, which is contrived, but it was contrived by the SILs, so that was okay. Annoyed with the heroine's continued insistence that the hero was identical to her ex-husband, and the hero is too good to be true.
**** Wild. I reread this one because I wanted to see if my initial reaction still held. The long, long sex scene didn't bug me as much this time, because by now, I've read a bunch of books that do the same. Which is not to say it's a great trend. Making sex scenes more detailed and adding more anatomical terms does NOT make them sexier. At least, not for this reader. It just makes me skim faster to see if anything's actually happening. And again with the virgin heroine. Four stories in this volume, and 3 of those are about virgins. This one's never even had an orgasm before, and she's in her mid-20s. *sigh* And of course, the hero's hung like a horse, and yet they can go at it all night long for a few nights in a row without putting her in the hospital. (note: when I was working on the OB/GYN floor at the hospital, a casual acquaintance was admitted for just this reason) LOL Okay, those are complaints that aren't really specific to this book--Foster's not the only culprit. The hero was actually a pretty nice species of alpha--simultaneously take-charge and caring, so I liked that. Enjoyed the whodunit part, and laughed at her relatives until they started to get on my nerves. The verdict: it's not as bad as I thought it was before, but it's still pretty standard. Nothing special enough to make me want to read more. ( )
