SHE LONGED TO LOVE HIM Told all her life that she was plain, Lydia Chadwick knew no man would come courting because of her looks. So it was with some suspicion that the shy, sweet San Francisco heiress woke one morning with a tall, dark, dangerously handsome husband she couldn't recall marrying. Lydia had lost her memory, and was desperate to discover if there was truly a love to remember. For as she looked at Nathan Hunter's lean, muscular frame, she longed to abandon herself to the sensual stranger, and believe--if only for a little while--that the possessive passion in his smoky gray eyes was really for her. HE ACHED TO HAVE HER Business and pleasure weren't supposed to mix, but in this case Nathan Hunter was willing to make an exception. After all, it was in his best interests to keep his new bride's mind off the secrets of her past. Making sure she didn't remember her hatred for him turned out to be the easy part, as he initiated the innocent Lydia to womanhood. Not so easy was keeping sight of his own goals as Lydia's sweet surrender wove a seductive spell around Nathan's heart, arousing emotions he had thought forever buried....

Sweet Fire is HOT!!!

This is a wonderful story about inheritance, love, deception, murder . . . it has it all . . . oh, and not to mention, several very hot love scenes. SWEET FIRE has so many twists, turns, surprises and mysteries that I hesitate to actually tell you what the story was about. Without giving too much away . . . most of the story takes place in 1869. Ms. Goodman has the talented ability to describe the beauty as well as the dirt that was a part of San Francisco at that time period. In this first section, Lydia Chadwick meets and is courted by two gentlemen: Nathan Hunter and Brigham Moore. The secrets and deceptions of these two men, and Lydia's reactions are quite entertaining. The mid-section of the book takes place en route to Australia. This involves about six weeks aboard a ship crossing the Pacific. Very HOT! The 3rd and final section of the book takes place in Australia. This is where we meet, get to know and come to like some of the natives and learn a little about that country down-under. There is plenty of excitement, intrigue and a growing true love between Lydia and Nathan . . . not to mention some more very hot love scenes. SWEET FIRE was a very entertaining story that is sure to please any fan of Jo Goodman. It kept me reading enthusiastically until the very last page. And, Oh . . . did I mention that it was HOT?
