Product Description

Synopsis

What do you do when love gives you a second chance at life? Book 2 of the Malloy family series. Jack Malloy is haunted. Haunted by memories, he tries to escape the dreams that have stolen his sleep for six months by agreeing to help out his sister Nicky. Unfortunately, time at her ranch offers him no escape when he's confronted by Rebecca Connor's beautiful gray eyes. For unbeknownst to her, she is a participant in his nightmares every night. Rebecca Connor is haunted. Haunted by memories she's trying to escape that have stolen her future. Her attraction to Jack is unsettling for a woman that has sworn off men. But something keeps drawing her closer to him, and she can't help but wonder what his hands would feel like on her skin. Fate pushes them together when they become stranded, snowbound, on a lonely Wyoming ranch. There they rediscover what living is all about. With passion hotter than the sun, they learn to feel pleasure together, how to trust again, and how to love. But is it enough to face the demons of their past, or will they forever be haunted? Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, some violence.

5.0 out of 5 stars And the Winner is . . ., 8 Jun 2008
By Foggy Tewsday - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Having thoroughly enjoyed the first novel in Beth Williamson's `Malloy Family' series (`The Bounty'), I'm delighted to report that the second instalment is even better. However, before embarking on this review, I think it's worth pointing out that a number of characters and events that occurred in the `The Bounty' are referred to in `The Prize'. It is, of course, perfectly easy to read `The Prize' as a stand-alone story. But, if erotically-charged romantic westerns are your bag, I reckon you'll love these stories so much that it would be a pity to spoil the first one by reading the second one beforehand. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Jack Malloy is a man haunted by shadows from his past. Nightmares blight his sleep to such an extent that he is left shaking and nauseous when he awakens. His sister, Nicky, is concerned about her favourite brother's bedraggled appearance, but she cannot coax him to tell her of his troubles. Instead, she invites him to help her husband with some building work at their ranch house. Jack readily agrees. He is a skilled craftsman and he hopes that the change of scene may help him.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Nicky's best friend, Rebecca Connor, is also helping with the decorating. This is a little disconcerting to the somewhat reticent Jack because he rather likes Rebecca. Events take an even more disturbing turn for him when Nicky and her husband are suddenly called away back to the Malloy homestead. Shortly after they leave, the weather closes in and deposits so much snow that Jack and Rebecca are effectively cut off from the rest of the area. This leaves them plenty of time to get to know each other better . . .

I should point out, and I'm sorry to harp on about this, that Nicky and her husband are the central characters in the first novel in this series. Furthermore, Rebecca's harrowing back story is also played out in that novel.

What I like most about Beth Williamson's writing in these novels is the punchy, staccato style that she employs. Short passages about events from one character's point of view are followed by the other's take on them. These passages are obviously split along gender lines and add some nice comedic touches to the story. The "explicit sex" that we are warned about on the covers of the novels in this series was somewhat missing in the first one. It is a little more graphic in this second instalment. I've read quite a lot of erotic novels and I watch a lot of erotic films (yes, that's right: I have no life), but I have to admit to spluttering a mouthful of coffee at what I shall only refer to as the `naming of parts' segment. I think it was Rebecca's continual berating of Jack for using even the most mild `curse words' and then saying some pretty choice ones herself in the throes of passion that did for me.

I mean no disrespect when I say that this is a simple story simply told. Beth Williamson is a very skilled writer and storyteller. There's no superfluity in this novel. It's a very entertaining read and very easy to lose yourself in its pages; I finished it in two sittings. The only slightly disconcerting aspect was the high level of emotional outpourings that the characters go through. I know this is par for the course in romantic novels, but it irritated me a little. Yes, my eyes were a little watery on occasion, but I think someone was peeling onions nearby.
