My Darling Melissa

By: Linda Lael Miller

Narrated by: Pilar Witherspoon

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.

Sad...

Sad this is the last book!! Awesome ending..Melissa is just what her brothers call her, a "brat". 😊

Series Review

Only a few books to the series but all of them were enjoyable. Looking forward to others by Ms. Miller

An ode to women who want to have the opportunity to be whoever they are meant or want to be.

Too much unnecessary sexual explicitness.
Detracted from Melissa’s positioning as a independent woman (being more than a sex object to her husband) who had control over her sexual desires.

not one of ms Miller's Best books

Too long and too much sex not enough plot. Didn't like Melissa. If she where a fish I would toss her back.

Sounded like a good book but.......

The premise of this story sounded great but it became something I never expected. A bit of story line then an explicit sex scene. Over and over the same thing. If this book were a movie it would be shown in a xxx Adult only theater. Needless to say I will not be purchasing any more books by Linda Lael Miller! The only bright spot was the narration, Pilar Witherspoon is an excellent narrator.
