Max Abbot and his
sister Zora have been working for two years to convince their father,
Duke Abbot head of King’s Finest Distillery, to open a line of
fruit brandies. The fruit would come from the Bazemore orchards and
would be a cooperative venture. Finally, Duke agrees to start the
project. Max is pleased until he discovers that Quinn Bazemore, the
grandaughter of the owner of Bazemore orchards, will be heading the
project.
This is a problem
for two reasons. Max doesn’t want the project he nurtured for two
years being done by someone else. More important, Quinn and Max
shared a summer romance when he was in college. He couldn’t trust
his feelings and broke up with her. Now he sees the beautiful woman
she has become and all the old feelings are awakening. Quinn is
likewise drawn to Max, but she’s afraid of being hurt again and
refuses to accept his apologies. Still the old pull is there.
I though Max and
Quinn were realistic characters. They are strongly drawn to each
other and are obviously right for each other, but each is having
trouble getting over the past. I particularly liked the fact that
both were loyal to their families and wanted the best for the
business.
This is a fun book
to read, if you enjoy sizzling romance.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
