Hawk's Way Grooms: The Virgin Groom/The Substitute Groom

1st story: Injured pro-football player goes back to hometown to recuperate & finally rid himself of his virginity with his childhood BF who was raped at 16 & still struggling with her sexual self-confidence esp since she has large breasts. But both are not being very upfront about their issues/motives with each other. 2nd story: Fighter jet-pilot comes back to hometown to tell his BFF's longtime GF/fiance, who he's been in love with since a teen, that BFF died in action. He proposes to marry her on the day of her wedding with BFF to supposedly help her with her ramshackle, deeply-in-debt ranch but hard-working & self-sacrificing heroine struggles with guilt about being so attracted to hero esp compared to her deceased fiance at such a short-time after fiance's death & keeping her secret that may affect his desire to marry her. My 1st Johnston read & was pleased. Both were solid romances. Good chemistry & love scenes were ok. Other characters were interesting & didn't get in the way of main romance. Am actually looking forward to reading about these other characters' own stories. Recommended.

Avery good book recommend to all. Joan Johnston is a good writer and i have read lots of her books.

I have just about read every book by Joan and love them all. this book is a reissue of two different grooms so you get double the pleasure. I highly recommend this book.

Sorry to see the story end. Ended like there could be more. Characters were real and the story lines could have been true.
