I have to agree...too much emphasis on sex, not much real love
The back cover description is already provided on this page, so I'll skip straight to my review:

First off, I'll point out that while this was published in 2004, it's actually a reprint of a romance from the 80's. 1989 to be exact. Not that I'm knocking all romances written then (LaVryle Spencer is my favorite author, and many of her best books are from the 80's), but very few 80's romances age well.

I think that Vicki Lewis Thompson is talented in creating characters that a reader can relate to. They feel like "real" people, flawed and not perfect. From what I've sampled of this author, she doesn't write "beautiful, flawless people" romances, and I'm glad.

The problem is that I felt that she rushed them into bed too quickly, and that sex was really all that was drawing them together and keeping them together. That's just not enough for a satisfying read for me. I need more than just amazing physical chemistry to cheer a couple on, because great sex is not enough of a reason for people to pair off.

This did have a pretty good Christmas theme woven throughout, instead of a few things tacked on at the end. But the relationship between the leads was so unsatisfying that I'm afraid I can't recommend this. There are better Christmas romances out there. For a list of my picks, check out my "Christmas romance books worth buying" list.

In the true spirit of Christmas!!!!What a wonderful book!
Having read this author's Nerd series, I was expecting this to be another witty book filled with bickering banter and steamy sex.Well, I was in for a delightful surprise!Instead, this heartwarming Christmas story is well-presented, realistic and well-written.The protagonists treat each other with respectful tolerance and acceptance rather than the hostile animosity prevalent in many other romance novels.It's so refreshing to read dialogue that uses good-natured teasing and understanding instead of sarcastic put-downs!Conflicts are resolved maturely and thoughtfully, with open communication.

I delighted in the cozy, homey descriptions of weaving and interior decorations, as well as the workings of a Christmas tree farm.The town's ceremony was filled with lots of Christmas spirit.Makes me want to move from my suburban lifestyle to a wholesome and welcoming small town like this!!!

Although a basic sweet romance novel, this little book made a huge impression on me.It stands notches higher than most other books in the romance genre because of the excellent characterizations and respectful dialogue, and it personfies the true meaning of Christmas.

Maybe not.
Anna Tilford is an interior decorator, a dyed-in-the-wool city girl who enjoys spending her WEEKENDS in the country. But live there all the time? No way, not even after she meets gorgeous Christmas-tree farmer Sam Garrison.
But things heat up when Sam is chosen to provide a Christmas tree for the White House, and the whole town goes Christmas crazy. . .
This is a mildly entertainining read, a plot mix of the movies "Baby Boom" (minus the baby) and "Funny Farm" with an unfortunate emphasis on sex and a feather-light ending where all problems are magically solved way too neatly. Both hero and heroine are fairly self-centered, but Sam does have a few good moments. ... Read more

YOUTHFUL INFATUATION COULDN'T COMPARE TO THIS

Cupid Caper Entertaining but Average
VickiLewis Thompson's Cupid's Caper was mildly entertaining but forgettable.The book had no surprises but was sweet and all the characters likeable.

The main characters Cassie Larue a letter carrier and closet handwriting expert and her love interest psychologist Andrew Bennett are well matched. My favorite part of the book was the idea of having a costume wedding at Halloween.What a concept!

I would recommend this book as a light read before bed. It is one you can put down and pick up without staying awake into the night to find out what happens next.It lacks that page turner excitement.

HIS HANDWRITING GAVE HIM AWAY

Letter carrier Cassie Larue couldn't help drooling over the mail Andrew Bennett sent out. A student of handwriting analysis, she was intrigued by his penmanship...and by him. His dotted i's revealed a loyal nature. His crossbars exposed energy and responsivenes. And his downstrokes...!

A man with strong convictions--and a deliciously seductive bent--he was someone Cassie could fall for in a big way...once she figured out how to meet him!

an enjoyable read
A delightful read about Cassie, a mailwoman, trying to find the perfect mate for her Grandma Jo. Instead, she finds the perfect mate for herself, Drew, the psychologist.This book has the romance and the sense of humor to make it very enjoyable. ... Read more
