My Darling Melissa
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
"The reigning queen of Americana romance" (Romantic Times), #1 New York Times bestseller Linda Lael Miller charms with this unforgettable Western love story of a runaway bride who wants only to hear three little words from a dashing Oregon lumber baron: My Darling Melissa...
When beautiful heiress Melissa Corbin discovers on her wedding day that her groom has a mistress, she begs for a ride out of town on Quinn Rafferty's private railway car. Determined to prove she's an independent woman and not just the baby sister to her three older brothers, Melissa makes Quinn a tempting offer: her inheritance in exchange for a marriage that would be in name only—until she says otherwise. But as Quinn's burning caresses kindle a white-hot desire like she's never experienced before, the headstrong beauty knows she is falling in love...and won't admit it until the man she married does first! It's a gloriously passionate standoff for two proud hearts, a battle of wills too thrilling to resist.

January 30, 1990
Never mind that not a bit of this frippery is believable, nor that the plot machinery creaks with coincidences at every turn--Miller's ( Corbin's Fancy ) latest is unsinkable fun. The author dishes up her favorite fare: plucky women with the strength to reason and the passion to follow their hearts; powerful men who find an independent woman infuriating yet irresistible; countless love sequences that leave plenty to the imagination; and a flavorful, 1890s setting. Miller plays her story broadly, with numerous opportunities for her characters to lose their dignity (but never their good humor). The opening scene, in which disheveled bride Melissa Corbin hightails it away from her groom at the altar and leaps onto a dashing stranger's private railway car, is one of the daffiest in the genre.
