Marianne (Australia) (2011/10/16): Man of Her Dreams is the 2nd in the Quaid Horses series by Tami Hoag. When Maggie McSwain gets a long desired marriage proposal from Rylan Quaid, the man she's been secretly in love with for 9 years, she had hoped for something better than "I suppose we could just as well get married". In fact, she's so dismayed, she throws her champagne in his face. She wants to marry him, but when he lays out all the practical reasons, she feels the most important one is missing: he has never told her he loves her. But she's seen that he has the capacity to love and is determined that he will realise he loves her, and is prepared to use all her feminine charms to get him to do just that. This romance is funny and sexy. It has horses and dogs and feisty old ladies and gorgeous men and a few very hot sex scenes between Rylan and Maggie. Very enjoyable.
