Love in New Zealand

'Janey had to find herself a new dream. Janey had had such high hopes. New Zealand meant a new life with their aunt for her and her young brother (Pete). Sadly, on arrival, she learned they'd be on their own. No wonder she jumped at the school supervisor's job on the Hunter brothers' sprawling ranch. But Andrew Hunter was skeptical; Janey was too young, too attractive. Janey fumed. He mistrusted her because he'd been hurt by someone she resembled. She'd show him...if only she could control her treacherous feelings.'

Interesting characters & chemistry

This story has family issues & dynamics that add drama to the romance. It's a fun read and the setting is in beautiful New Zealand! There is good sexual tension between Janey and Andrew. Interesting secondary characters add to the plot. Here is the steamy inside cover lead-in to the story: Janey couldn't stand Andrew's prejudice! Ever since hiring Janey as school supervisor, Andrew had been critical of her. He'd been hateful! She faced him, aware of emotion throbbing between them. "It's because of Yvonne, isn't it?" she flung at him. "You're getting me all mixed up with her..." The change in his expression was chilling. "If it makes you any happier, I don't think of you in any way connected to Yvonne, and if you don't believe me..." Before she could guess his intention he had caught her roughly to him and she felt his body taut against her own. His hands slid to her waist. His lips were on hers. She felt his mouth burning. Then abruptly he released her. "Does that answer your question?" he demanded.
