   Book Review

From Library Journal
Holm launches her "Brides for All Seasons" series in fine form with this warmly humorous, homespun tale of an ostensibly prim and proper schoolmistress and a down-to-earth outdoorsman who find themselves owners of the same piece of Harmony, Montana, property?with conflicting plans for its use. Nicely rendered with Holm's typical charm and wit, this lightly sensual romance provides an accurate sense of time and place and will be welcomed by readers who enjoy the works of Pamela Morsi and Jill Marie Landis. Holm (Forget Me Not, Pocket, 1997) lives in Meridian, Id.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Literary Times
Edwina Huntington has resigned herself that she is stuck in Harmony, Montana at least until she pays off her family's debts. She is seen as a proper spinster and she does little to dispel this outside of her house. But inside, she dances to the newest music and even has one beer each week. (gasp!) Her past does haunt her, though it takes a while to find out why. Edwina decides to start a finishing school for young women, as she has the experience of living in Chicago for a few years. Unfortunately, the building she has purchased also got a new owner at the same time and the building must be split. Tom Wolcott is a hunter. He has decided to open a store that would supply and guide hunters through the wilds of Montana. These two co-owners are wary of each other as they go about trying to divide the building they don't want to share. Even their pets -her cat, his dog-can't get along. Tom starts to realize that Edwina, or Ed as he calls her to torment her, isn't what she appears. As they go about building their businesses they start to admire each other and to find themselves attracted to the person they insist is their opposite. As we know, opposites attract and this book is no different. But this is the only cliché in this book. These characters learn from each other and start to grow as they begin to lean on each other. Edwin and Tom are believable and compelling, and even the secondary characters add a lot to the book. The town's people are as well drawn as the main characters and add to the realness of the story. As a reader you root for these two to come together. The writing is quick and full of humour. This is the first book in a trilogy set in this small town and I can't wait to read the next two books! Stef Ann Holm writes a romance that is full of humour and love! Harmony is the first book in what promises to be a great trilogy! Harmony was a fun book to read and brought many a smile to my face.Michelle Sawyer -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved

Book Description
When prim deportment teacher Edwina Huntington finds herself co-owner of a warehouse with rugged sportsman Tom Wolcott, togetherness in Harmony, Montana, is anything but. And as soon as they discover that they clash more than their choices of paint color -- lemon yellow and slaughter red -- sparks fly in every shade. Edwina wants to educate women on the ceremonies of society, as preparation for marriage -- though she's resigned to spinsterhood. Tom hasn't thought much about matrimony one way or the other -- his world of big guns and big grizzlies has kept him plenty occupied -- until now. Equally fierce-willed, Edwina and Tom square off for a showdown. But they're both helpless in the face of the powerful attraction that explodes between them, and soon the battle of the sexes rages in a new direction...true love.
