SHE ALWAYS PLAYED TO WIN.From San Francisco to the Bahamas, Anna Lange is known as a high stakes, fast action poker player who wins – exactly what Mitch Summers needs. He’s got a game to play, and he’s betting on the beautiful gambler to turn the tables on a cheat who’d stolen his brother’s land. What he doesn’t need is to lose his heart to the stunningly gorgeous card shark, but from the moment they meet, he’s under the beauty’s exotic spell. UNTIL SHE LOST HER HEART TO HIM.With a past she hasn’t outrun, Anna has given up on the game of love – until the boyish charmer with the seductive kisses turns up the longing in her heart. When passionate surrender lures them both beyond resistance and into love, all bets are off in the sultry heat of the island night. SCOUT’S HONOR originally published by Bantam Loveswept 1987
Glenna McReynolds was born March 25, 1953, in Lewiston, ID; she studied at Colorado Mountain College. She is a writer of medieval period and contemporary books and romances. She also publishes under the pseudonym Tara Janzen . McReynolds is a member of several writers organizations in Colorado, including Colorado Romance Writers Association, Colorado Authors League, Romance Writers of America, and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. Several of her books have won awards, including a RITA from the Romance Writers of America and a career achievement award from the Romantic Times in 1994.
Scout's Honor lacks the character development of Tara Janzen's later books. Of all the re-releases of her books written as Glenna McReynolds, this one doesn't come up to snuff. I'm not interested in the plot, and she's got the goofy names reminiscent of old Harlequin romances (St. John--pronounced Sinjin--for example.)
