Literary Nymphs reviewer: Bramble Nymph
Not believing in love at first sight or romance in general, Cash McLaren decides to go for a new woman for every month of the year and makes it his final decision for the rest of his life. As this was his New Year Resolution, he plans to snare in the female with a delightfully breathless voice whom he accidently called while trying to telephone a friend. He plans to find her, make her his Miss January and have his way with her. Would Mindy Walters ever mean more to him than just his flavor of the month?
In the past I have found myself looking down upon female characters that have trust, commitment and love issues because of past relationships. But, strangely that didn’t happen with Mindy. I liked her spunky, feisty personality and didn't really blame her to her emotional cowardice. If you skim the surface, Cash would be written off as a man-on-the-prowl for flings but I effectively gathered that the urban cowboy had a solid head on his shoulders.
It starts out as a teasing game between them but they can't seem to stay away from each other. When they're together their passion sizzles even if they are not making love. The sex is amazing and makes you hot and bothered. It's whimsical as well as Chase starts to show concern for Mindy. Each and every escapade is in perfect sync with the characters’ psyche. Full marks should be awarded to Ms. Hayes for creating a fabulous first meeting of the lead pair. The unusual opening pulled me in and the sizzling chemistry kept me turning the pages all the way through.

The plot could have easily gone on the much travelled road but Ms. Hayes gives it a unique touch and the result is fabulous. As Miss January is a part of the Calendar Girl series, many secondary characters bop in from earlier installments. I loved re-visiting them. I’ll always remember Miss January for its brand of romance as the author has given the emotion so much more substance than just a hoard of blazing hot love scenes. Even if you are not a fan of Ms. Hayes, you just can't afford to miss this book!
