Say No to Joe?

I'll forego the description, since that's been done. I love Lori Foster's comedic style. She's tops in this genre and always delivers a good read. I loved the secondary characters with this one and the (...) chemistry between free-spirited Luna and confirmed bachelor, hottie Joe. The two teenagers add more flavor to the story. One great read!

The title says it all. SAY NO TO JOE? Yeah, that's what this reviewer wondered as she settled in to read. Who COULD say no? Well, Apparently, Luna Clark is the holdout in this, the latest work by Lori Foster that continues the series featuring the Winston Brothers. But it's romance so, never fear, readers! Joe Winston is the cousin of the 4 Winston Brothers, and though he's been a loner, never relying on anyone, women in particular, he's got his work cut out for him when he sets his sights on Luna Clark, a friend of his cousin's new wife. He thinks that if he can get Luna in his bed, he'll get her OUT of his system...but that never happens, does it? No. Luna finds herself out of her element. She's a free spirit, the bohemian type, but when she learns that two young orphaned relatives are in need of a guardian, she agrees to go to the children. But she enlists Joe's help to protect them as there have been incidences threatening the children that can't be ignored. Joe readily agrees. Not only is he outraged that anyone would dare frighten kids, but he needs to get out of town anyway; his last job as a bounty hunter, tracking a bad guy is still open ended. He was beaten within an inch of his life and he needs a place to fully recover. What better place than out of state, away from danger, but keeping an eye on Luna's two young charges, and keeping a close eye on the object of his lusty desires, Luna herself? The story is intricately woven with subplots, and each page turn is like another piece of the puzzle, fitting together and making sense out of the teasing elements throughout. Readers may see a deeper, more sensitive Joe Winston than the one that was introduced in ZANE, Ms. Foster's most recently penned novel in that series. But if this hero didn't possess the protective instincts and have a heart that could be softened by a child's smile, or a sassy love interest, then he wouldn't BE a Lori Foster hero. Family, loyalty, and honor are what readers have come to associate with this author, and she never disappoints. SAY NO TO JOE? is no exception. SAY NO TO JOE? is filled with love, laughter, suspense, and sensuality. Add to that, many new characters are introduced in this twisting, fun turning tale. This reviewer will be waiting for updates and watching for news of release dates for them.

Generally, I don't like Lori Foster's books, at least the ones I've looked at; they're usually, IMO, short on good story and long on erotic scenes. So, when the folks at The Book Rack in St. Louis recommended Say No To Joe? I hemmed, hawed, dithered, and finally relented and bought it. Couldn't have made a better purchase for the summer!Say No To Joe? is a fun read. Good story, interesting characters that the reader can actually care about and enjoy, good plot with interesting kinks in it, and good dialogue. Moreover, the story is well written. In my book, that makes for a hit.This Lori Foster book is a definite keeper!

In Lori Foster's book Wild we were first introduced to Joe Winston, the irresistible cousin. Joe has always had women fawning all over him except one, Luna Clark. Luna is a strong-minded, independent woman and has never needed anyone to depend on until now. Luna has inherited two young cousins (Willow and Austin) that need her help. She in turn needs Joe's help in showing the town where the kids live that they can no longer push them around. Joe sees helping Luna at first as a golden opportunity to get Luna where he wants her, in his bed.... As Joe and Luna share a home with the kids, they both realize they want more then just a quick fling.The chemistry between Luna and Joe is so hot you can feel the heat leap off the pages. Their emotional connection to each other and the kids will warm your heart.This book is well worth the wait since Joe first charmed me in Wild. Joe has everything you could want in a male character and Luna is a heroine that can hold her own with Joe.I just loved this book, could not read it fast enough. It is a keeper.

Joe Winston has always been a magnet to women. Never having any problem getting who he wants, he is stupefied when he can't have the one woman that he does want. He met Luna Clark when he did a favor for his cousin, Zane. The only problem is that Luna now wants nothing to do with him. It wasn't his fault he couldn't help but grab her the day he met her. Was it? Now Luna has come to Joe for help and he's determined to play that to his advantage. Soon he realizes that he wants Luna for more than a fling, but the problem will be convincing her that he's worth the risk.Luna Clark knows exactly what kind of man Joe Winston is. A love 'em and leave 'em type of guy. She has no intention of getting caught up in an affair where she'll get her heartbroken. The problem is that she needs his help. She has two orphaned cousins that need her and she needs Joe to convince the town to leave the innocent kids alone. Little did she know that when they all got under one roof, she would want more, for it feels suspiciously like they're playing house, and all enjoying it.The chemistry between Luna and Joe is awesome, some of Lori's best, in my opinion. I also liked it because it was longer than her usual books, so there was more for me!Don't miss it!
