Good light read. Sunny Chandler left town in shame. When she has to come back to town to be in her best friends wedding, Sunny just wants to stay under the radar, but no one will let her. Ty Beaumont is the sheriff, and determined to get Sunny in his bed.This is an older book, but still enjoyable.
Looking for a book filled with witty comebacks and innuendoes? No need to look further, this book's got them all.Sunny Chandler's return to her hometown after three years brought back old gossips alive. Sunny, who was determined not to show her hurt, not just came back to hometown for her bestfriend's wedding, she came back in style to show the people that she was no longer a shy miss from Latham Green, but one tough city girl. Ty Beaumont, the town's new sherrif, who was fascinated with this city girl wasn't going to let Sunny get away just like that. He made a wager to lure Sunny to his bed within a week. But of course Sunny wouldn't give in so easily. And that's when the plot thickens.What I like in this book is the two characters--Sunny and Ty-- are so explosive that you might find yourself singed by their explosion. I guarantee you won't be bored.
Several have done a nice job of summarizing the plot of this book, so I'll skip that task and just say that I found this book to be a quick, nice read. It's a typical Sandra Brown with romance and a few twists to keep you guessing about what happened in the past to the main characters, Sunny and Ty, to bring them to where they are today. I found it to be one of Brown's better works that I've read lately. There was some humor tossed in the mix...a fun, unexpected treat!I do recommend that you read this book if you're a fan of Sandra Brown or simply romances that involve a bit of a cat-and-mouse adventure and mystery on the way to a romantic ending. I recommend that you borrow this one from a library or friend or purchase it used. I liked it, but I can't say it's worth paying full price for.
I have to give Sandra Brown credit for one thing. She has talent for making unlikely senarios into romances such as Ty Beaumont making a bet with his friend that he can get Sunny Chandler to bed. If he wins his friend gets a fishing rod, but he wins Wild Turkey. Then to add insult to injury tells Sunny about the bet. Women everywhere must be screaming their heads off. But despite all of this I've found myself enjoying some parts of the story. While it's not her best if you are looking for escapism this is it.
Most of the reviewers here would say there is something wrong with me, but I adored this book! I got so caught up in the story that I read the whole thing through in one (long) evening. Yes, Ty was rather over-the-top in his faith in his seductive abilites, and the bet was juvenile, but I have known real guys just like him who (like Ty) are good guys at heart but put up a macho front. I like that Ty confessed about the bet to Sunny right away, saving us from the overdone "the truth comes out at the end and nearly ruins everything" drama. Brown creates great chemistry between the two, their dialogue is amusing, and their love scenes are both sexy *and* tender, a keeper combination for me. I am not ashamed to say I will be re-reading this one often, and think others should give it a try.
I enjoyed this book. It was full of surprises, and unlikeany romances I've read before. Sunny returns to town after a three year absence. She had left town because of some terrible rumors. When she returnspeople still have bad thoughts of her, and one man goes so far as to make a bet concerning her. The question is where will thatbet lead to. As I said, I enjoyed this book, and would recommend itto not only every Sandra Brown fan, but to every fan of romance:)
Sunny Chandler has returned to her hometown to attend her best friend's wedding. Faced with a past of scandal, heartbreak and secrets, she is determined to maintain her cool, confident persona, and not give the gossips of the town more to talk about. Imagine her surprise when she encounters the dashing, sexy, confident Sheriff Ty Beaumont, the opposite of any man she has ever met, and who claims to have made a bet to "bed her before the end of the week".Most criticize the book for being "dated", but I realized that the book was written in the late 80's (note references Dynasty, Rambo, and Charles Bronson....and some of the, let's just say "dated" references that Ty makes) and that should explain it. However, I must warn you, there are some really funny parts in the story, that makes a woman in the 2007 laugh, but the datedness (if that is a word) makes it cute! However, keeping that in mind, if you like Sandra Brown, and you want to read something short and easy, where a confused, yet independent woman meets a take charge and slightly chivalrous and at times chauvinist guy, you will enjoy "Sunny Chandler's Return".
There is nothing unique about the plot of "Sunny Chandler's Return" that I haven't read in many-a-romance novel. This is one of the books that stays by my nightstands for reading to go to sleep. That said, I do think this is a pleasant read from Sandra Brown. Ty (the hero) is confident, almost bordering on the cocky state but he's got more substance that overides his unusual style of blunt delivery - my kind of guy. And he had an uncanny ability to see right through all the "BS" that surrounded Sunny's reason for leaving her groom at the altar. So at the end, one gets a lesson in life about a guy that's "just not that into you."
