Chronicle As Books Heartbreaker (Rescues #3)
Michelle Cabot has inherited her father's Florida cattle ranch -- and a mountain of debt. To make matters worse, a huge chunk of that debt is owed to the neighboring rancher, her nemesis John Rafferty.Nothing shocks Rafferty more than discovering that the spoiled, pampered rich girl he once despised is painstakingly trying to run the Cabot ranch herself, working the land with desperation the only thing she has left. He likes this new Michelle and decides to make her his woman. What he doesn't know is that underneath Michelle's cool, polished façade lies heartache, secrets and the raw determination to live life as her own woman. But Rafferty isn't about to take no for an answer.

Sometimes a good Linda Howard novel is just what I need! There's something about her alpha males that gets to me. And John Rafferty is no exception. He's stubborn, autocratic, bossy and possessive, but once he determines that Michelle is his, he's determined to do anything to protect her. I enjoyed this book very much!Not sure where the moustache came from - this book was written in 2002 after all - but I preferred to imagine John having a slight beard / some light facial hair. I haveThis is finally available in audio and thank goodness the narrator is pretty decent!!!! 4 Broody Cowboy Loving Stars!!! Loved this the first time I read it several years ago and loved the audio version just as much!!!Michelle grew up a pampered princess by her doting parents, especially her beloved father. John is the hard working surly neighbouring rancher who loathes pampered and spoiled Michelle....at least he tries to. 10 yrs later at 28 years old, a beaten down Michelle is divorced from
The more I read Linda Howard's novels, the better I expect them to be! Maybe that's why this book didn't do anything for me.. It wasn't bad, far from it. But there was no exciting elements. Or at least nothing that got me excited.I should probably consider taking a break from my LH binge for some time and chill out with some lighter fluffier stuff!
I was really disappointed in Heartbreaker; as for me it was just an OK read and one that I wouldn't recommend. I thought about rounding up to 3 stars but that would have been more that I am a fan of Linda Howard versus a fan of this book.I think back in its original publishing day, I may have liked it more, but today not so much. Michelle is your damsel in distress and John Rafferty is the dashing hero who rescues in to save her. Michelle does have some really sad events in her life. Her
This started out like the typical longterm enemies to lovers romance, with a typical LH uber alpha hero and a surprisingly strong heroine who makes choices about the hero knowing the potential consequences of getting involved with a big-time player. Their enemy status and his shallow slut shaming lasts for all about five minutes. Lots of chemistry and when I sat chemistry, lots of life-changing sex.If you like the dynamic chemistry LH creates with her characters, this is for you. However, I
Liked this more on my second reading. It just has a level of passion and angst that I like. I also enjoyed how at first he was all about how she'd been so spoiled all her life but that soon all he wanted to do was spoil her himself. I liked how he had wanted her for 10 years but had thought she didn't like him. That makes a difference from many romance where the hero can always tell the heroine is hot for him. Just another fun older LH.
