Hi imabookaddict , I've never read a Lynne Graham. If you feel so inclined, maybe you could post a review of your favorite one. I'd be interested to hear what you love about it/them.
Hi secretromancejunkie. Hmmm where to start. I think that what I like about her books are her characters. Her women are not doormats and her men while typical HP hard hearts are also men with flaws and you get to watch as they fall for our heroines.
SPOILERS AHEAD
In Married to a Mistress (The Husband Hunters #1) our hero has been interested in Maxie for three years, but she is the live-in companion to a married man, who has finally cast her aside. Her reputation is in tatters and she is in debt. A mistress obviously ripe for the taking. Our hero pays off her debt and instead of blackmailing her to force her hand, swoops in to let her know he has magnanimously saved the day. He also lets her know that he knows she's attracted to him and his mistress spot is conveniently open. Then he sits back waiting for her to fall all over the opportunity in gratitude. Imagine his surprise when she not only doesn't but says thanks for paying the debt and kicks him out. Thus begins the back and forth. You can almost feel his frustration and hear his teeth grinding as this 21 yr old holds her ground and runs circles around him. I often find myself laughing out loud as I read her books. The Spanish Groom is another lol favorite of mine.

Why is it, the more books I read the taller my tbr stack gets?
I totally loved it. The heroine was independent and definitely no door mat. The hero was alpha, not a jerk, but definitely arrogant, yet clueless when it came to his own feelings.
SPOILERS
In the storyline a one night stand kinda situation (its not, but it is...you have to read it to understand) leads to pregnancy. She confronts him and he does the reluctant 'I'll marry you' speech. She turns him down flat cause she doesn't want a reluctant husband. The relationship progresses believably from there. She runs circles around him through the entire book. No cheating from the time they meet. Heroine has a good head on her shoulders and uses it. She is just what our befuddled alpha needs. Oh, she has a yappy little dog that bites the hero's ankle at one point and steals the show a couple of times. Again, I really enjoyed this book and found myself wanting to laugh aloud several of times.

The Greek's Blackmailed Mistress (Harlequin Presents Book Just finished this one; I enjoyed it even though there was sexual coercion and the amazon low ratings reflect that. It did have some J/P moments, but it wasn't her best and I thought his sexual coercion actions were wrong and maybe just could have been written better and he grovel more.

My favourite LG's are the angst-ridden Bond of Hatred and the hilarious Spanish Groom
Read one this weekend that fully infuriated me though - One Night with His Wife which I DO NOT recommend. My least fav LG book ever. The heroine was very young and dumb and the hero was a disgusting Judgy McJudgerson. At one point the hero's rant had my eye twitching I was so mad!
