Cassie McClintock is a reporter at the local television station in
New Orleans. She made her mark by following the story of one of New
Orleans mobsters. Kir Vasilek, second in command to Sergei, the most
powerful man in organized crime in New Orleans, gave her the lead. She
and Kir had a magical moment described in the previous book, His to
Defend, but when she discovered he was a mobster, she dropped the
connection. Now she wishes she hadn’t.
She’s worried
about hanging on to her job and is looking for a new story. Perhaps
it would be a good time to reconnect with Kir. Their feelings are
still strong and when a death in Kir’s family makes him pull Cassie
close, she can’t resist, because she knows he needs her help.
Kir is the kind of
handsome hero, polite, polished and besotted with Cassie,you can’t
help but love. Cassie starts the story conflicted about her
relationship with Kir, but that quickly passes when the two come
together and Cassie gets to know the people Kir has chosen for his
family. She’s never known a close family and is immediately
attracted to Kir’s.
There is some action
particularly toward the end of the book, but the focus of the story
is on Cassie and Kir and how they come to love and depend on each
other. This is a well written, engaging love story with minor
characters like Aunt Freda that you will fall in love with.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
