Publication Date: 1 Jan 2000 | Series: Sonnet Books

Cherished for her "unique charm and delightful sense of humor" "(Romantic Times)," Geralyn Dawson brings a heart-catching pleasure to her romances that readers have come to expect. Now she cooks up a delicious new story where the taste of Texas blends with the flavor of Britain to create her most lovable characters yet.

A CHILI QUEEN IN ENGLAND

Independent daughter of socially prominent Texans, Christina Delaney stirs up scandal along with her spicy Texas Red when she's crowned Chili Queen of San Antonio. Her family reacts to this culinary coronation by packing her off to live with her grandfather on his English estate, hoping to transform Chrissy from Chili Queen to countess. Never mind the fact that what she longs for is a modest home and loving family deep in the heart of Texas.

A TEXAN WITH A CRAVING

Born British but reared Texan, Cole Morgan would do anything for the Delaney family, even escort the incorrigible Christina to England. Besides, he has his own agenda abroad: to locate the missing copy of the Republic of Texas' Declaration of Independence. But when a viscount offers Christina marriage, Cole is forced to see that the girt he grew tip with is now a woman whose fiery passion -- and love -- he craves. So he sets out to win her, and in the process proves that only he can make the Chili Queen...

5.0 out of 5 stars "EXELLENT! HOT! HOT! HOT!" 29 May 2000

By Tigerlily101

Format:Mass Market Paperback

At last, I have come across a romance that is worth reading. There is no silly miss and super hero in this story. It is so 'refreshing' to read a story about two young people who are seeking love and not afraid to reach it! The turn of the centry Edwardian England & Texas background is equally exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious ! 11 Dec 1999

By G.C. Larkin - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Although Western historicals are not usually my cup of tea, I am truly a devoted fan of G. Dawson. I have read all of her recent books and this one tops the list of favorites. She has an unusual, canny wit and dialouge that is rivaled by few. There is a particular introduction portrayed in this story that had my family coming to check on me and my howling ( with laughter of course) and I even found myself chuckling a few days later at work when this particular scene replayed through my mind. The story is really very crisp and we have quite a mixture to devour - mystery, romance, childhood trauma, and humor. I can't wait for Jake's story (Sizzle All Day) to be released. If you have never read anything by this author this book is an excellent one with which to begin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipe for a Delicious, Dangerous, Delightful Read... 2 Dec 1999

By P. Cody - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

The only thing better than a bowl of hot chili on a cold night is this tasty escapade Simmer All Night. Dig right in to warm your spirits and libido; you deserve a treat. Geralyn Dawson stirs in the ingredients I enjoy most from her: witty dialogue, humorous situations, unexpected plot twists, and a hero to heat up a reader's and heroine's blood. If you have any doubts about a Texan's chances to shine against a background of British wealth and privilege, gulp down this book. Chrissy creates the best chili in San Antonio to earn the title of Chili Queen, but kissing a vaquero in the square gets her banished to England and grandfather. Childhood friend Cole is relieved to have the temptation she's become out of reach--until he's delegated to escort her there and recover a copy of Texas' lost Declaration of Independence to boot. With Chrissy acting the lady and cooking the gooses of British lords anyway, Cole's attention to business strays. How can a cowboy among lords focus on documents when this outrageous, beautiful flirt has to be watched? Bent on resisting her lures while protecting her from proposals, he ends up fishing for the catch of his life in a private fishing pavillion complete with a warm pool that's perfect for seduction. The reprise of the Throbbing Bob is more than appropriate.

Geralyn's Texas Declaration series continues to satisfy every reading appetite with this spicy dish. A romp seasoned with danger and scalding with desire Chrissy and Cole have denied too long, Simmer All Night kept me reading all night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this! 14 Mar 2000

By Kay - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Mass Market Paperback

I've read six of Geralyn Dawson's books and SIMMER ALL NIGHT is my favorite. Cole and Chrissy are wonderful characters. Watching them discover their love for one another was pure joy. As usual, this author made me laugh out loud in places, and the suspense at the end kept me up too late finishing the book. I highly recommend SIMMER ALL NIGHT and after reading the teaser in the back of the book, I can't wait for SIZZLE ALL DAY.
