"A refreshing and enjoyable romance"

THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN Kate Hoffman Harlequin, Nov 2001, $4.50 ISBN: 0373259557

All women seem to love firefighter Brendan Quinn, who has quite a reputation among his peers for picking up females. His novel approach is to lend his jacket to the woman so he has a reason to see them again when he comes to pick up his article of clothing.

His latest recipient of his jacket ruse is Meggie Flannagan, a childhood friend. However, this time Brendan believes he has found the woman of his dreams. He expects to save a fortune on clothing, but she despises him for humiliating her in high school. She plans to teach the Lothario a lesson by seducing him into desiring her before she discards him. That plan seems perfect until she tries to execute it, as she still loves this Mighty Quinn.

In the sequel to brother Conor's story, THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN is an engaging tale because of the lead couple. This Quinn is a sex machine who lives on his charm until he re-meets Meggie who makes him reveal the person hidden behind the charisma. Though her motive is poor, Meggie proves to be quite a woman not afraid to risk her heart. Readers will enjoy this duo's gender battle though the clash fails to attain the level Kate Hoffman achieved with the previous tale
