REVIEW:
Avia Rockwell is a spoilt madam, and Cade Kildare is a confirmed bachelor; they have a love hate relationship. They first met when she was twelve and he was nineteen when their fathers went into business together. As they grow up, their feelings for each other grow, but neither is sure enough of the other to voice their feelings. In any event, Cade isn’t considered good enough for the mighty Bradley Rockwell’s daughter.
Cade is sent away permanently to work in San Francisco by Avia’s father. Enter Kevin Markham, rich and eligible and, in her father’s opinion, a perfect suitor for his daughter. But is he really all that he appears?
In his despair, Cade’s life goes into a downward spiral. He had reached an all-time low when he found himself in the middle of a devastating earthquake in San Francisco; he asks himself why he survived?
He and his good friend, Derek Carleton, a man who he thinks of as the brother he never had, happen across a woman who has been severely injured during the earthquake, and take her back to Derek’s house for the medical treatment she so desperately needs. No prizes for guessing who the woman is!
Joshua Carleton has a lifelong hatred of a man who his wife had a passionate affair with, resulting in the birth of Derek, his “son” in name only. What lengths would he go to for revenge???
This book has romance, intrigue, deception, kidnap, subterfuge, drama, I could go on…
Now, in my humble opinion, this book had a good enough plot, and characters to not have to resort to quite so much sex. That’s just my opinion, I don’t go in for erotica, but for those who do, the scenes were well written and didn’t stoop to graphic descriptions, for which I applaud the author.
Overall, I really enjoyed it; must have, I read it in one sitting. I didn’t really find myself liking any of the characters, which was a shame. I do like to like the characters!
I give The Wrong Man four flutes.
