The listing, A Husband of her Own (Harlequin Superromance No. 1130) Paperback has ended.
In her early thirties, Rebecca Wells still sneaks an occasional cigarette and struggles to control her temper. Her nemesis Josh Hill, who lived across the street when they were growing up, fills her father's dreams of an ideal child, resulting in twenty-four years of discord. The wounds still have not healed, especially when her father announces that she is not invited to her parents anniversary party unless she promises to behave, meaning she has to strike a truce with Josh.
No one knows about the evening a year ago that proves that the chemistry between them has escalated, but neither Rebecca nor Josh can quite forget. With her best friend married, Rebecca decides it is time to marry and move away from Dundee, where her reputation has proven to be quite limiting. Unfortunately, her fiancé is more concerned with getting his great aunt to the wedding than sticking with a wedding date, so she dumps him and looks a bit closer to home. The question remains if Josh is up to her wild eccentricities!
I confess a weakness for heroines who do not fit the classic model of decorum. I identify with women like Rebecca who struggle with to grow beyond her reputation as a troublemaker and to quit smoking. It's heroines like Rebecca that make Superromances sparkle, because they are flawed, sassy and real. And they get guys like Josh, a fantasy come true. And with author Brenda Novak's pen, they also get a very bumpy ride on the way to romance, filled with the emotional conundrums that makes her stories outrageous, fun and believable. A HUSBAND OF HER OWN comes highly recommended.
