5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Fantasy of Female Empowerment

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021

An evocative fantasy with hints of The Handmaid's Tale, when females are demoted to a servile role in their society. Ms. Walters spins a compelling story of struggle and empowerment. I must try the other books in this series.
Plus that cover is gorgeous!

Magda Malone likes men and has no desire to marry. She’s been there, done that and got burned. She’s happy with her position as coordinator of the cardiac unit at the hospital. A new neighbor promises many nights of steamy sex.

Damon also has no desire for marriage. He had too many steps as a child and sees marriage as a serial sort of game. He doesn’t want to play. When Magda learns he’s a cardiologist, she blows him off. The problem is Damon has fallen in love and he must convince Magda there’s more between them than sex.

When the doctor asks him about the child’s birth parents, he has no idea. He agreed to the adoption but only signed papers and took no other part in the process. Now he needs to locate two people.

Then he learns the identity of his son’s birth mother and knows she has been in the periphery of life. He acts rashly and then must find a way to make amends, especially when he learns more about her.

Genre – Romance

First Line: Janine Rhodes lifted her giggling charge into her arms and strode toward the cabin.

Review:
Tangled Dreams is the perfect title for this book. Ms. Walters’ characters, Janine Rhodes, Nate Quinn, and Davey, …and even Pam, came to life and kept me glued to the pages. There’s a tangle of emotional turmoil, heated moments of fear, passion, and anger, which comes around full circle, leading to a satisfying end. I’m still smiling over the impossible becoming possible. Bravo, Ms. Walters! Highly recommended if you enjoy life-changing romances with HEA endings;)

In Fern Lake. Janie, whose star sign is Cancer, meets her employer’s attorney Nate Quin, a Virgo, to whom she is attracted. Grieving for his late wife, frightened for Davey, his eight-year-old son, who has leukemia, will die, he has no interest in Janine. She returned to the town after she received a letter from a woman on the verge of death. Janine settles into a daily routine. During the week she looks after a lively toddler Rob and his wife adopted. At the weekends she studies for her Master’s in Child Psychology.
An orphan abandoned on church steps, Janine had four foster homes. At college she became pregnant. With no one to support her only alternative was to give up her baby for adoption to a couple in Fern Lake, where she is now able to watch her child from behind the scenes.
When Nate finds out Janine visited Davey in hospital as part of her studies he is furious and mercilessly upbraids her.
I enjoyed the novel which has many twists and turns in the tale before a satisfactory conclusion.
Tangled Dreams contains explicit sex.

Thursday The Opening Scene for Heart Throb is featured #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Romance #Medical #Older heroine #younger hero

 Magda Malone jammed her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat and felt the fabric rip.  Just what she needed to add a bit of anger to what she’d just been asked to do.  Why wouldn’t he understand no meant absolutely not?

            Her jaw clenched.  The temptation to commit an act of violence hovered like a giant thunderhead.  She stared out the window of her office on the fifth floor of Rivertown Memorial Hospital and shoved her fury into a corner of her mind.

            Sucking in a deep breath, she turned to her colleague and friend.  At the moment, she wasn’t sure friend was operative.  “Would you repeat your question?”

            “Could you come to dinner tonight?”  the cardiologist asked.

            That wasn’t the portion of the original question she wanted to hear.  “I believe there was more.”

            “Like I said.  Nothing formal.  It’s not a party or anything.”

            “Come on.  Say what you said before.  I need to be sure I’m not going deaf.”

            “Lin and I want you to meet my new partner.  He’s her cousin and a really great guy.”

            Magda glared.  “Ben, I’m not letting you off the hook.  What did you want me to do with this man?”

            He studied his hands.  “Was just a suggestion, not an order.”

            “And that was?”

            “You can show him a good time.”  He joined her at the window.

            She arched a brow.  “A good time as in...”  Her voice trailed away.  She thought she had grasped his suggestion, but she wanted to hear the words repeated.  Then she would stomp.  “Does your wife know you’re soliciting?”

            “What?”  His round face reddened.  “That’s not what I...well, maybe...just...couldn’t you make him happy to be in Rivertown?  If you two don’t click, you could show him around the...dating scene.  You know what I mean.  Lin and I want him to settle here.”

            Magda shook her head.  “Spit it out, Doctor.”  Anger oozed from the dark corner and colored her voice.  “Just how do I accomplish your purpose?”

            He stared at the window.  “Anything it takes.”

            “No deal.”  She clipped the words.  Would he understand why she was so angry?

            “Mag, come on.  Wasn’t I there for you when you needed a shoulder.  I need a partner who will stay, especially now.”

            Magda sighed.  Ben and Linda had been there when she’d needed them, but he was asking for too much.  “Why me?”

            “Men like you.  You like them and --”

            “Don’t say it.”  She stalked to the desk and stared at the stack of folders needing her attention.  “I don’t want to lose a good friend, but you’re treading on the brink.”

            “I didn’t mean you had to...you know...”

            She rested her hands on the cool metal surface.  “Let us set the record straight.  I choose the men I want in my life.  I don’t need anyone, not even a good friend, fixing me up with a man.”

            “I hear you.”  He sank on the chair across from the desk.  “Lin said you’re bored with the local dating scene.  Come to dinner.  If you don’t like Eric, you can leave.  If you do, who knows what will happen.  Give me one good reason you’re being so stubborn.”

            Was the invitation his idea or his wife’s?  Sure she’d told her friend about the lack of interesting and eligible men in the area.  Did it matter who had dreamed up this scheme?  She wasn’t about to accept.  Her friends had heard her views time and again.  She wasn’t about to repeat them.  “What do I always say?”

            “You don’t play where you work.”

            “Sounds like you’ve heard me.”

            “But --”

            “Been there.  Done that.  Got burned.”

            He rolled his eyes.  “But you received a nice divorce settlement.  Give my new partner a chance.  What can you lose?”

            My independence, she thought.  “Goodbye, Ben.”  She pointed to the door.  “There’s a large flock of available women out there who would be glad, even eager, to meet an available doctor.  I can name a dozen who are closer to his age.”

            “So he’s a bit younger.  What’s seven years?”  He backed to the door.

            “Almost half a generation.  See you.”

            He opened the door.  “Eric has a thing for older women.”

            “Good for him.  Ask Mabel Gray to dinner.”

            “Older.  Not ancient.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Better curl up, readers, because this story will heat your insides...

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020

Magda Malone is satisfied with her very active love life and marriage is definitely not in her plans. When she tried forever, it blew up in her face. As coordinator of the cardiac unit at the hospital, she feels fulfillment, too. When she meets her sexy hot new neighbor, Damon, she can't wait to feast on him. They enjoy a mind-blowing weekend, and she hopes it lasts for a while. When Magda learns he’s a cardiologist, she ends it right away. She has strict rules about dating doctors, especially doctors at the same hospital where she works. But her heart won't listen, and neither will Damon. Can he convince her he's more than just a Heart Throb?

Heart Throb is a five-alarm HOT romance. Two frisky people looking for a fling wind up falling in love. It's a classic trope yet Janet Lane Walters adds a new spin to it. The love scenes are smoking hot yet there's a tenderness to them. I enjoyed the sparks that fly between Damon and Magda when they discover who they are, besides neighbors, that is. The pacing is good with plenty of descriptive narration. Janet Lane Walters is a prolific writer and I enjoyed this steamy romance from her. Better curl up, readers, because this story will heat your insides.

Thursday Writing Heart Throb #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Romance #Medical #Sensuous #Nurse #Doctor

 I remember the day I began Heart Throb. This all started with someone saying you can't write a book when the characters get together for fun and games before love happens. Dares in writing stories always tempt me to make a try. So I did. Magda came into my head. She's been there, done thaat and doesn't want to do it again. Damon has no belief in happy ever afters. He grew up with parents who practiced serial marriages. He's lost count of his step-mothers and step-fathers. He really likes women. The meeting between them and their attraction was instantaneous and fun to write. Their days of fun and games excited them and were fun to write.  Then he falls in love and she has to run and avoid. She won't be hurt again. The book was fun to write and one that turned their lives upside doown.

Wednesday Heart Throb #MFRWHooks #BWLAuthor #Romance #Medical

 

Join the authors at #MFRWHooks Here  http://mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com for some great excerpts. Mine is from Heart Throb. Magda has no plans to ever marry again but she does like men. She's been there and done that once.

BLURB:

Magda Malone likes men and has no desire to marry. She’s been there, done that and got burned. She’s happy with her position as coordinator of the cardiac unit at the hospital. A new neighbor promises many nights of steamy sex.

Damon also has no desire for marriage. He had too many steps as a child and sees marriage as a serial sort of game. He doesn’t want to play. When Magda learns he’s a cardiologist, she blows him off. The problem is Damon has fallen in love and he must convince Magda there’s more between them than sex.

Excerpt:

Magda shoved the last folder in the drawer and made a series of phone calls to check for problems pending on the units she supervised. All was calm. She flipped the calendar to Monday, slung her bag over her shoulder and left the hospital. As she strode to her car, she uncoiled the chignon at her nape and combed her fingers through the strands. Freedom, she thought.

On the way home, she stopped at the supermarket, picked up her birth control, bought strawberries and sour cream and rented a movie. She intended to spend the evening with a kick-action flick and dreams of her coming vacation.

The warm breeze carried a hint of rising humidity. She opened the convertible top and let the wind blow her hair. Her laughter rose above the classic rock throbbing from the speakers.

Years ago, she’d been dumb, but her divorce attorney had been shrewd. The car and the luxury condo were courtesy of her ex. Still, the settlement she’d received hadn’t made her believe she was a woman for the long haul. Did it matter? Short term was a challenging adventure.

As she drove into the complex, the guard leaned from the booth. "Ms. Malone, new tenant alert."

"Where?"

"The other apartment in your building."

"Thanks." Magda waved. He’d said tenant as in single. Male or female? Dare she hope for attractive, interesting and available.

She pulled into the garage beneath her unit and noted the empty boxes at the curb. After grabbing her package, she headed for the foyer. Maybe she would drop by and welcome the newcomer.

When she saw the man on the steps leading to the apartment level, she sucked in a breath. Neighbor or mover? Married or single? A rush of excitement rose. Wouldn’t take much to learn his status.

Denim cutoffs provided a view of tanned muscular legs. Her gaze traveled to appraise flat abs, broad shoulders and a well-developed chest. A slow smile changed his features from merely handsome to rugged and fascinating. The streak of white in his jet hair looked like a lightning bolt had seared a path.

Brilliant blue eyes captured her gaze. Steam flowed through her veins. No attached man sent those kind of signals unless he was out for a fling. In that case, she’d pass. Only the unattached need apply. She didn’t do married or engaged. She saw no wedding band, but these days, the absence meant nothing. Still her plans for a quiet evening began to change. She started up the steps. He followed.

"Hello, neighbor."

His deep voice acted like a jolt from the cardiac conversion paddles and sent her imagination into overdrive. How would his sensuous lips taste? And those strong hands and long fingers. How would they feel on her flesh? "Welcome to Rivertown." She paused at her door, turned and smiled.

He reached for her hand. "Damon."

"Magda." She liked the laugh lines around his eyes. Must be about my age. Perfect.

His thumb stroked the back of her hand. More than perfect, she thought. Life had taken a turn in the right direction. Her nipples contracted. She glanced down. The bulge beneath his fly seemed to swell. Attraction -- mutual -- instant. "So nice to meet my new neighbors."

"Neighbor," he said. "I live alone."

"Same here." Her tongue played along her lower lip. Interest darkened his eyes. This man was as hot as molten lava and she was ready to burn. "Have you met any of the other neighbors?"
