First Impressions by Nora Roberts (2008)

Quick reads in between holiday busyness.

First Impressions (1984)
Shane Abbott moves back to her grand or is it great-grandmother's home in rural Maryland, and renovates it into a museum (battlefield close by) and antique store. Vance Banning has bought a fixer-upper to get away from his high pressure job of running a major construction company. Shane hires Vance as her carpenter, believing he is out of a job.

Blithe Images (1982)
This one did not work, this was one of those awful formulaic romances (not that the other Roberts'books are not, but I usually like something in the others.) Here is a small town girl who is making it big as a model, because she can be a chameleon and look innocent or elegant, soft or hard, etc. So this rich guy hires her to model for his magazine for a few months and gets personally involved and to first base...
