All or Nothing - Catherine Mann

GOOD MORNING FROM TEXAS :)

Texan weather never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday it was sunny and bright and today The Titans were at war in heaven. But I am falling in love with this place. And till my travelling shoes doesn't come out from the cupboard I am going to enjoy every minute of this whimsy weather.

Just finished reading All or Nothing by Catherine Mann. The review of the book had been good. I always read Harlequin without expecting anything much. A light romance, a cuppa coffee. silent house - all the rare perks of being a housewife:)

But I must say I was taken my surprise by the psychological aspects touched in this book. Both the protagonists are affected by their fathers duplicity. Strangely they both bring that into their marriage. Got me thinking here? How affected are we with the way our parents behave?

We always give importance to the parent child relationship. But most of us carry this to our adulthood. We all enter with a baggage in a marriage. Some of us overcome it and some don't. Hopefully as parents, we don't make the same mistakes.( Can't avoid the new ones).

Anyway, coming back to the story I must say Catherine Mann has brought out the James Bond affect to the fullest. I heard the signature music in my head while reading this book. The settings, the gadgets, the fast pace of the books kept me glued to this book. ( I accomplished a bag of huge laundry.... grrrr).

So what was wrong with the characters( I should use their names.....Conrad and Jayne.)? They were separated despite being so totally in love with each other. The reason being lack of honesty from Conrad's side. He was an undercover agent and he could not tell her that.

How they overcome it? That is for you guys to find out :) ( On a second thought will a Mills and Boon have it any other way......).

Highlights of this book: 

• Action Packed
• Emotional
• Neat story line
• Want to turn over to the next page to find out what happened.( This believe me Dahlings is the only thing that keeps the reader gripping to the book, nook or iPad :))

Rating.....

Statutory Warning:

This book is not for the prudish. There are some well intricated love scenes in the story. A touch and go eroticism. But then we cannot have a James Bond without that can we? Cheers to Alpha Brotherhood!

Which one next? A Danielle Steele maybe...... doubt it after the collection I have collected in the Harlequin Romance department. 

Thats all  for today folks. :)
