Available for the first time on audio, this 1988 Loveswept romance, prolific New York Times best-selling author Hoag's debut novel, shows definite signs of its age—e.g., no cell phones, no Internet. But this only adds charm to Hoag's humorous tale of schoolteacher Genna and her attempts to keep pace with modern life in the 1980s. Actress/narrator Deanna Hurst impressively portrays a wide range of female characters, from a housekeeper to a five-year-old. Though she doesn't manage to project the bass tones one might expect from a macho-yet-sensitive male like Genna's new neighbor, professional football player J.J., she does bring the right pacing and energy to his characterization. Romance fans will be entertained. [See Top Audio, LJ 9/15/09.—Ed.]—Juleigh Muirhead Clark, Colonial Williamsburg Fdn. Lib., VA
Just what Genna Hastings needed, a conceited creep of a new neighbor with rippling muscles, mile-wide shoulders, and a wicked Jack Nicholson smile that could melt stone! It wasn't often that women resisted star quarterback J.J. Hennessy, but he was ready to trade all the cover girls he'd dated for the adorable lady next door. With his summer sky eyes and kisses that stole her sanity and her willpower, J.J. was impossibly charismatic, magnificently male-and a bachelor father who was in danger of losing custody of his little girl-unless he could persuade Genna to help change his fast-lane image in time!
She was tempted by his offer, and by him-but she couldn't be head over heels in love with a wildman football player ... could she? J.J. insisted that opposites attracted, just like magnets, but Genna wanted security, a man who'd always be there. Could he make her believe he was her man for all seasons?
