Reading THE HUSBAND HUNT by Lynsay Sands was such a great, fun read because it mixed the serious with the whimsy that is a relationship. Lisa has focused her love with such tenacity on one man who was just to blind to feel it. Men, they are a quandary in the love pool aren’t they?

THE HUSBAND HUNT by Lynsay Sands
The game may be on but who decides the winner?
A number of appropriate suitors may be pursing Lisa Madison but she has eyes for only one man, Robert Langley. Robert unfortunately is as blind to her affection for him, as he is stupid. Robert only says he sees her as a childhood friend not a woman.
Lisa tries everything including taking advice from the wrong source that leads to a path on the verge of ruination to gain Robert’s attention. When Lisa steps out of her comfort zone, she puts her foot right into a pickle of a situation. Robert may not want her but someone certainly does and the way things keep happening it appears this “suitor” is not after her love and affection but complete destruction. The brilliant plan to keep her safe that great minds devised is for Robert to watch out for Lisa every moment of the day and keep her safe. Ah but a tangled web your friends weave for you when they have decided they know what is best for you.
Even though Robert still refuses to acknowledge his feelings for her, he has an overwhelming desire that he cannot explain to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless. Robert convinces himself it is lust he feels for Lisa not love. However, if any other man dare touch her, he will be forced to change his mind. Keeping perpetual in motion Lisa safe, is un-nerving for a man always in control and especially for Robert because he has such conflicted feelings for her. Both of them chase, divert, and run from one another to the point no one can figure out who is compromising whom in this game of love me, love me not.
Lynsay Sands has written the perfect addition to this series with a wonderful and exciting story that keeps the reader absorbed to the final word. Love may not be blind but sometimes men are not the brightest romantic bulbs. Ms. Sands shows how a woman can turn everything back around to her favor.
yes, they do, they always have no clue for what we want. Well, let's just say male are entirely stupids with clue:), aretha zhen
ReplyDeleteI think some men would not know if it hit them over the head. It takes a certain kind of man to pick up on the subtleties.
ReplyDeleteI have not read one of Lynsay's books in a bit. They are fun to read. With men, it is best to be direct and tell them. Clues are useless.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on what it is -- if it's for him then yes he has a clue if it's for me sometimes!
ReplyDeletelol It's obvious we all experienced the "not a clue' syndrome they all have. Unless it's said right up front they really don't get it.

Yes, very much so. With men you have to be direct. They don't like clues and usually they don't get them.
ReplyDeleteMore likely, men ignore inconvenient clues. And, guess Lisa sees all the clues about an inattentive childhood friend. HEA, right?
ReplyDeleteI agree, when it comes to women, most men can be pretty clueless. I don't think we're as complicated as they make us out to be lol. We're just different then them!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that most of the time men can be fairly clueless. I think they appreciate the breadcrumbs we leave as clues~~
ReplyDeleteMost men would not know a clue if you hit them over the head with it.
ReplyDeleteYes, men are definitely clueless!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I definitely think men sometimes have trouble buying a clue. It seems like they usually need things spelled out for them, or maybe shown in pictures. :D

I've been married to my husband for 42 years and have 2 sons and no daughters and I can verify that men don't have a clue. Even though I work and get home after my husband he can't understand that dinner doesn't just magically appear on the table and doesn't understand why he has to wait to eat!
ReplyDeleteWhen my boys were growing up I finally taught them to do their own laundry because they couldn't understand why their favorite - fill in the blank - didn't magically appear in their bureau the next morning after having just been put into the laundry basket.
I eventually taught them the basic life saving skills like cooking as well so fortunately they were both able to eventually move out on their own and not starve!
So no, if nothing else men need us desperately just to survive. On the other hand I have learned how to build a fire if the power goes out, mow the lawn and shovel the snow - and they didn't even have to show me how!
Now if my husband could just figure out how to start dinner or set the table!
LOL... yes men are sometimes dense, but I think they play it up so as not to have to deal with the responsibilities. Plus, they live with the stereotypes of emotionless, alpha male, so it's a bit understandable if they are caught in the middle. I get as frustrated as the next woman, but, sometimes we have to cut them a break :)
ReplyDeleteNot to lump them all into one pile, but Yes, they often don't see what is right under their nose, particularly if it is of an emotional nature.
ReplyDeleteMen are wonderful, creative, and dumb as stumps. I have to send myself flowers and buy my own gifts but after 15 years of marriage who cares I make him pay for it.

ReplyDeleteI truly think they are just that uncomplicated in a complicated world. Men you have to love them they do know how to bbq.
Yes, they're sometimes clueless.
ReplyDeleteOf course men have difficulty buying a clue! They wouldn't even pick one up for free!
ReplyDeleteAt times maybe but not always. They're as complicated as the subject Math. Plus they can be the master of being insensitive. Not having a clue what to do when things got out of hand but we love them anyway, faults and all. :D
ReplyDeleteI would say they sometimes do. Although I think that they often know that they have said or done something to annoy you but if you don't say anything they feel they are safe.
