Blue collar heroes?
Feb. 9th, 2007 04:13 pmI wasn't kidding the other day when I asked for blue collar heroes. Anybody have any recommendations?
While I'm on the subject (heh), let me say that I read a category back in my early romance days that I would love to reread. I vaguely remember a yellow cover; I want to say that it was probably an early book in the Temptation line, but I'm not really sure. It was published in the late 80s, I believe. Anyway, the hero is a carpenter. He is engaged to a widow whose husband had been a jetsetting journalist who died on international assignment. He overhears her saying that what she likes best about their relationship is that it is so predictable, and that she doesn't miss the passion of her first husband. Wow, talk about a stinging compliment. Smack me, please, instead of killing me with a kind comment like that. Of course this pisses him off and he sets out to be an exciting guy. And a monkey wrench is thrown into the works when the journalist husband turns up alive after years of imprisonment.
Anybody have any idea what this book is? Please?
