The Review

This book is a breezy read and so is this book review.

The most enchanting part of this book is the central character D.A. Logan Montgomery. You just have to care for a man who knows what he is, what he wants and can't stand his family ties. He's a successful person but he has a father that nobody on earth would want. This pompous, arrogant father wants Logan to stand for public office. Logan's point is, isn't being a DA enough? Isn't being a public servant in his day job enough?

So naturally, time is bearing down on him as his father doesn't listen to a word he says and he plans to put out a press conference about his son seeking election. He has about a week. And in that time, he plans to ruin his reputation fast. But he doesn't really have a plan for this. In the end though, his grandmother steps in and starts to help him out with a plan of his own and that is the caterer Catherine Luck.

They end up together in part because of her and both find each other enjoyable to be with but for Catherine, she feels she's the girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

The central misunderstanding comes when photographers show up his place, brought by Logan's dad and they have obviously been together all night. This is just the kind of mud he needed, what a break but at the same time, Catherine shrinks away from him like he planned the whole thing. And he wanted to, he just didn't.

How are these two going to reconcile their backgrounds and misunderstandings?

Find out by picking up your copy of this book. Total five, all the way. No question.

This book is thoroughly enjoyable, especially the main character Logan. He's an excellent romance hero.
