Week 48 Review: No Red Roses

From Goodreads:
After taking a break from pop stardom to turn his musical hand to composing—earning both a Tony and an Oscar for his efforts—Rex Brody is making a triumphant return to performing with a sold-out, coast-to-coast tour. But he has one crucial stop to make first: his aunt’s home in New Hampshire. A local psychic is bilking his beloved aunt, and Rex is seeing red. But when he meets the woman’s gorgeous niece, his anger quickly yields to desire. Rex Brody always gets what he wants . . . and what he wants is to take this beautiful brunette on the road with him.

Tamara Ledford lives a quiet life in a rural community, and she’s quite happy with it. As a skilled herbalist and canny businesswoman, she’s making a name for herself—even if her reputation in other areas dates back to her high school years. Though she tries to be as discreet and reserved as possible, there’s a sultry woman burning at her core. But when the arrogant and extremely intriguing Rex Brody makes a play for her, Tamara fights her instincts. Their chemistry seems highly combustible, but can a small-town girl really find happiness with big-time star?

My Review:
I enjoyed this book so much! I'm so glad that these were re-released, because otherwise, I wouldn't have had read them, most likely, even if they were written by Iris Johansen. But since I loved Return to Santa Flores so much, I had to get this one, to read it, too!

Enjoyed getting to have Rex get his happy ending, he deserves one, he was a pretty decent guy, and yeah, Tamara needed some good in her life, because people in her home town weren't really nice to her! So they were good together!

Again, I could tell that this book was set in the past, because some of the things that happened, they wouldn't happen now, or if they did, it would be the more modern cast, and yeah, people don't really act that way anymore. Most likely, because of how fast technology is going now!

I really enjoyed that they got their happy ending, and that her aunt's things came true, and yeah, that was just so sweet, and how he got to talk to her, even though he was supposed to be putting on a show, well, he did, but it wasn't all a musical one!

Yeah, this was a great sequel (and we got to see Jenny and Steve again!) and I really enjoyed it!
