SIDELIGHTS: Anne Mather is a romance writer who, according to a contributor to Twentieth-Century Romance & Historical Writers, "writes novels that are more complex than those of her contemporaries." The writer went on to note, "Her books have more sub-plots and she employs more texture and mood in her stories." Dangerous Temptation, for example, features identical twins with personalities that differ completely. Nathan is someone with a criminal past while Jake is a public defender. When Jake takes Nathan's place on a plane ride and ends up with amnesia after the plane crashes, even Nathan's wife mistakes Jake for Nathan. A Publishers Weekly contributor noted "there is a certain irresistible appeal in this tale of the rich and sleazy."

The Rodrigues Pregnancy tells the story of Olivia Mora. In one night of passion with Christian Rodrigues, the prim and proper Olivia ends up pregnant. Recently widowed, Olivia leaves town and hides out in the Caribbean only to be tracked down by Christian. "Caribbean beaches, ocean, sunshine … and a handsome hero … puts you in the place and the moment," wrote Sue Burke in a review for the Best Reviews Web site. In Alejandro's Revenge, Mather introduces another mild-mannered heroine in Abby Leighton, a teacher from England who is visiting Miami. Abby has a one-night affair with Alejandro only to return to England. When the two meet again years later, they must overcome the objections of others to make their romance work. Burke, once again writing on the Best Reviews Web site, called the novel a "sensual summer read."
