Treat Her Right

Lori Foster's TREAT HER RIGHT is the second book in the "Men to the Rescue" series from Harlequin's Temptation line, starting with CAUGHT IN THE ACT, and finishing up with MR. NOVEMBER, due out on shelves next month. Zack Grange is a single father to a precocious little girl named Dani, who describes her father as "A Hero". A fitting title; since Zack happens to be a paramedic, and though it can be trying profession (life or death in fact), he's a man who loves his job. He takes it, his life, and his responsibility as a parent very seriously. Enter Wynn Lane, the new face in the neighborhood who moves into the house behind Zack. Wynn is loud, boisterous, carefree, and...big! Not big as in heavy or overweight, but solid, and big boned. Wynn doesn't have a dainty bone in her body, but her heart is sweet, and her interaction with his daughter gives him worry. The two are wonderful together, and Zack feels himself being drawn in despite his determined resistance. You see, Zack has been looking to marry again, but Wynn is so far from the woman he envisioned to fill the roll of wife, and mother. Zack begins to see, however that his attempts to banish her from his mind become increasingly more difficult with every saucy turn of her head, or each glimpse of the skimpy shorts she favors when doing yard work, or spotting her napping in the hammock she's set in her backyard. Secondary characters add to the laughter and they lend a quirky aside to the serious relationship that is developing between the two. Though Zack keeps repeating to himself that it's only physical, his heart has other ideas. And Wynn, with her wild hair, and past bad experience with love, fears Zack will never see her as anything other than a friend, and an occasional late-night playmate. We first met Mick as a cop in CAUGHT IN THE ACT, and Josh is a fireman who shares a stationhouse with Zack. Both are his best friends, and add to Zack's troubles with their constant ribbing. Josh has an eye for the ladies, and sees Wynn as quite a woman. Zack has personal decisions to make concerning Wynn, but will he lay claim when Josh shows interest in his new neighbor? Will his friend back off when he sees that Zack is falling in love with the girl next door, Even if Zack doesn't yet realize it himself? Ms. Foster's stories never fail to entertain, and TREAT HER RIGHT is no exception. Her tales of love, and relationships focus on the male point of view more often than not, and is a refreshing perspective. To see the male struggle with desires, and feelings for the heroine gives her stories a twist that is different, and insightful. You'll chuckle at the antics of Wynn's friends and family, and Josh, Mick, and Mick's wife, Del, will make you feel as if you are sitting down and reading about people you know and care about. A lively, sexy, and charming read, Ms foster sets the standard for time spent with a good book! TREAT HER RIGHT is one of those that make the

"Treat Her Right" continues where Foster's previous release, "Caught in the Act," left off-and this time, it's Zack Grange's turn in the hot seat. A widower with a young daughter, Zack has decided that it's time to Look to the future and remarriage. He knows exactly what type of woman he wants for a wife and mother and it's not his new next door neighbor Wynn Lane. Outspoken, physical and eye-to-eye tall as Zack, Wynn finds her new neighbor to be a man worth getting to know better and his little girl adorable. Unfortunately, although little Dani feels the same way about Wynn, Zack does not. Or so he thinks. The sparks fly as Zack and Wynn first fight their attraction to each other, then succumb to the inevitable. Lori Foster continues her tradition of giving romance readers everything they could possibly want: sympathetic characters, great dialogue, steamy love scenes and the easy camaraderie of a closely bonded group of men that only she can deliver. The fun continues in her next book, "Mr. November," in which the 3rd member of the group, Josh Marshall takes his turn in the game of love.

I just discovered Lori Foster a little less than a month ago and she has rapidly become one of my favorite authors of any genre, not just of romance. Her blend of humor, fantastic, real characters and very steamy, sensual love scenes are just to die for. I don't think I've read one of her books yet that I haven't laughed at one or more parts. She is a great author who makes you happy you've read her books and want more of them.Treat Her Right is the second book dealing with 3 male friends finding their perfect women (Caught in the Act (another five star excellent read) was the first book dealing with Mick and Delilah and is very highly recommended). Though you technically don't HAVE to read Caught in the Act, you should treat yourself to a wonderful read as it will give you some background on each of the characters, including Zack, the hero in this book. As soon as I had read the first 3 chapters of Caught in the Act I went and pre-ordered this book and the next sequel, Mr. November immediately before going back to finish Caught in the Act.In Treat Her Right, Zack, an EMT Paramedic (who just happens to be drop dead gorgeous and couldn't care less, and has the most charmingingly fantastic personality...and boy, do I wish men like this existed in real life), is a widower with an absolutely adorable 4 year old daughter (*I* hate stories with kids normally but I totally loved this little girl) whom he loves very deeply. Zack has decided that it's time for him to start looking for a new wife so that his daughter will have a good feminine influence since his daughter hates anything even remotely frilly and feminine (except clothes that have lots of color) as she has only had her dad, his best friends, Mick and Josh (whose story Mr. November comes out next month and I am anxiously awaiting), and an elderly woman who babysits the daughter when Zack is on duty. His daughter just asked Zack what feminine napkins are after watching a tv commercial and Zack realizes that while he is a fantastic dad, his daughter also needs a mother as there are some things he just won't be comfortable with as she gets older. Josh has volunteered to help Zack out with this kind of problem since *he* knows everything about women and all women adore him (oh, I can't wait for his story and him to get his comeuppance) but Zack decides a woman is what's needed, not his oversexed male friend. ;-)Zack thinks the perfect woman for a new mother would be a stay-at-home, quiet, mousey, petite, ultra-feminine woman who will always realize that his daughter comes first (think sexy June Cleaver). Fortunately for Zack what he finds is his new next-door neighbor, Wynn (short for Wynonna), who couldn't be less like what he thought he wanted. Wynn is 5'11" of all woman who happens to have a muscle-bound brother by the name of Conan (yes, he really does look the way his name makes him sound) who regularly tries to beat her up and she him like they were still in diapers (not in a mean
