I live in Australia and am an avid romance reader. I'm always looking for 'recommended reads'. I've discovered some of my favourite books this way. I write romance novels for Harlequin Mills & Boon. A list of my books can be found at my website at http://www.jennieadams.net where I also have a blog page.

  • The Boss's Unconventional Assistant (Harlequin Romance)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “RT Rating: 4 ½ stars
    Category: SERIES
    Publisher: Harlequin
    Published: August 2008
    Line: Harlequin Romance

    Multimillionaire developer Grey Barlow is used to being in control, but
    when he's sidelined by a broken arm and a sprained ankle, he's forced
    to let his temporary assistant, Sophia Gable, take the reins for a
    while. Quirky Soph is a breath of fresh air -- kind, nurturing and
    attractive enough to make even commitment-shy Grey take notice. But are
    they too different to make a go of a permanent relationship? Jennie
    Adams' The Boss's Unconventional Assistant (4.5) is a feel-good fantasy
    with enough edge to make it interesting -- and the characters are
    terrific, especially adorably cranky Grey.

    —Catherine Witmer

    Jennie
    Adams pens the final sister’s tale with The Boss’s Unconventional
    Assistant. Sophia is the youngest Gable sister and turns out to be
    stronger than her sisters thought. Quirky and perky, Sophia knocks Grey
    over with her ideas. Not sure what to think of her, Grey finds he is
    irresistibly drawn to her. With a beautiful ending, fantastic
    characters and a lesson in family, The Boss’s Unconventional Assistant
    will have you running to look for the first two stories if you missed
    them. Romantic, fun and a smile on your face, what more could you want?
    The Boss’s Unconventional Assistant - be sure you do not miss Jennie
    Adams’ latest! Cataromance Debby Guyette -- 4.5 stars

    Buttoned-up boss, rule breaking PA!

    Sophia
    Gable is anything but conventional, and multimillionaire Grey Barlow
    knows this the second he meets her. With her bright clothes, and even
    brighter outlook on life, Sophia is no ordinary PA! She's the complete
    opposite to workaholic Grey -- and he's beginning to wonder why he's
    hired her. . .

    Sophia is nervous about her first temporary assignment, and falling for
    her boss is the last thing she needs -- but how can she not want to get
    personal with broodingly handsome Grey? He may not be the commitment
    type, but she has a warm, generous heart that may be just what this
    grumbly workaholic needs!

  • His and Hers Dalmatians

    His and Hers Dalmatians

    by Grace Tyler
    • Rated 0 stars

    “His and Hers Dalmatians is the debut novel of Grace Tyler and is a story that kept me turning the pages from beginning to end. Callie was a sweet, quirky heroine with plenty of baggage. Hayden was a piece of her past she never thought she'd go back to, but life (in this case in the form of the two 'children' separated as the result of the split between Callie and Hayden) has a way of intervening.

    In short, the Dalmatians aren't coping without each other. Intervention is necessary, and funny, and sweet and poignant as it plays out. I loved this author's voice, the emotional honesty of the story, the Dalmations in the role of 'children' and the journey back to each other for Callie and Hayden.

  • A Royal Marriage Of Convenience (Harlequin Romance)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “Rose is a classic Marion Lennox lovely heroine. She's sweet and feisty, determined and thoughtful. We can tell Nick is mad about her from the moment they meet. Their journey is interesting, intriguing, sometimes poignant sometimes sweet and funny.

    How could you not read on with an opening like this:

    'Rose-Anitra, we have a surprise for you.'
    Rose sighed. In her experience surprises from her in-laws were like surprises from a fairground ghost train: 'Surprise!' followed by green slime--or worse.

    I loved this book.

  • Caring For His Baby (Harlequin Romance)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “I have been a long-time fan of Caroline Anderson's books. One of my all-time favourites involved a city hero and a farm girl and a scene with a dairy cow and a pompous hero moment that quickly turned to a dose of humility and had me screaming with laughter.

    Caring For His Baby was released in Australia in February 2008. It is a lovely, heart-warming story about a suddenly-daddy hero and a very special heroine. I couldn't stop turning the pages.

  • The Templar's Seduction

    The Templar's Seduction

    by Mary Reed Mccall
    • Rated 0 stars

    “A style of 'mistaken identity' book, and one for which I was more than willing to suspend disbelief and simply enjoy a great read. This hero saw his limitations of character, and then went on to be better as a result of knowing, and coming to love, the heroine -- and I couldn't help but admire him for that. A really satisfying read. If you like historicals, I'd recommend this.

  • Scandal in Spring (Wallflower Quartet)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “Yay. I'm finally reading again. Not that I entirely stopped but I did cut back over the past few weeks while I was busy with other things. So with no further ado here is my review of Lisa Kleypas's 'Scandal In Spring'.

    I enjoy a quirky heroine and Daisy Bowman fulfilled this in all the nicest ways for me. There's a scene of lawn bowls in this book that had me grinning right through, especially when Daisy became so irate she started taking after Lilian and swearing. Hee. Matthew Swift was a lovely combination of vulnerability and austerity, smitten with Daisy from the first page and struggling so hard to do what was best for her - namely avoid her like the plague. The cast of characters in this mini-series have all been highly enjoyable, and their presence in Daisy's book was no exception. I take my hat off to Lisa Kleypas's skill as a storyteller, and look forward to being equally entertained by her next book.

  • The Inn at Oak Creek (Harlequin Superromance No. 1115)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “'The Inn At Oak Creek' was released in Australia 2007 in a pack of books called the 'Winter Warmer Collection'.

    The story puts together a heroine and hero who have both suffered losses. Molly has forever lost her chance at an Olympic career and is scarred and trying to pull her life back together and Sam has suffered financial losses with far reaching effects.

    I wondered why Sam bounced back as easily as he did from what happened to him but I felt for both the characters. As a writer I found the way the issues were handled interesting - some of the choices surprised me. I guess that's why we can write the same themes and come out with different stories every time Smile.

  • She Did A Bad, Bad Thing (Harlequin Blaze)
    • Rated 0 stars

    “I like a good Plain Jane story. I love it in historical novels when the rake falls hard for a home and hearth style of heroine. This story was kind of a mixture of that, and a transformation story, but not really, because deep down though she changed her outward appearance, Jane remained the same. As the author put it, Jane got in touch with her inner wild woman (who had always been there).

    At first I wondered if the hero would be able to redeem himself. He was a bit of a toad to Jane in the beginning, but he fell for her in all the right ways and I forgave him because she came to mean everything to him.

  • The Husband Trap: A Novel
    • Rated 0 stars

    “This is the third book I read in my recent small read-a-thon. It's a twins/switched identity story. Violet replaces her twin Jeanette at the alter and marries the duke in her sister's stead.

    Coming back to the topic of suspending disbelief, which is something I've been thinking about a lot with my recent reading, I was quite happy to do so with this story even though in reality it seems unlikely that a woman's parents and best friend wouldn't realise she'd swapped places with her identical twin. I'm still at a bit of a loss as to why I'm more willing to buy into this sort of thing for some stories than others.

    But whatever the reason, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was wonderful to watch the hero fall in love with his wife when he simply hadn't expected that to happen. And I loved the opening line of the back cover blurb...

    Here comes the substitute bride....

  • Desire Never Dies
    • Rated 0 stars

    “This is the second of three books I read over the past few days while getting over a nasty head. There's nothing like a book to make you feel better!

    I liked the idea of a group of lady spies. Imagine how well that would have gone down with the male spies of the time in 1808! The romance was lovely and I enjoyed the developing relationship between Ana and Lucas as it unfolded. It always feels a bit funny to me to read an English set historical where words like realise are spelled with the American 'z'. I wondered why Avon chose to do this.

    There was a little incident near the end of the book where the heroine did something rather daring and when the hero tried to follow, he didn't quite manage with the same degree of success. I won't say because it would spoil it for readers, but it was a good revelation of his feelings for her and of how her character had grown and matured as the book progressed.

    Jennie ”
