Selina is a wise woman/healer for the Duke of Northrop’s estate. She is caught trying to do a cleansing of his home prior to a wedding that’s to take place there. The Duke is furious about this because he blames a wise woman for the death of his wife and son. When he finds out that woman in his house is none other than the daughter of that wise woman, he is beyond furious.
He has her thrown out of the house and eventually off his estate. The only problem is that his tenants that he has neglected for eight long years love her. They even help hide her in his home for weeks. When his sister arrives and has health problems, Selina comes to the rescue. The Duke and Selina start a truce so to speak that leads to other things that bind this couple. But there’s a secret that can tear them apart.
I really liked this book. I am a big fan of Christie Kelley and bought this book almost a year ago. It has sat on my Kindle due to my ridiculous TBR list. I’m so glad I finally read it. She’s a great author, with great characters and good love scenes. I needed this book to be wonderful and it truly was. I just wish she wrote them faster!

Ford Hendrix has come home. A former Navy SEAL and hometown hero. He has come home to run a business with four of his military friends. He has come home to a family that overwhelms him and an ex-fiancé who jilted him for his former best friend. He also came home to the woman who has loved him since she was fourteen.

Isabel Carlisle has also come home. She came home from New York after a failed marriage. She’s running her family’s business, just until she can regroup and raise more money for her fashion business she wants to open in NYC. She has a sister she barely knows and has to face the man she loved years ago.

From Ford’s fights with Angel, to his mother’s please marry my son booth at the festival, to the fake relationship and the letters that bound these two people to each other, this was a great book. Funny, sweet and sexy. I even sighed. You even got a twofer, Kent and Consuelo’s story. That was the only weak part of the book. Their relationship was abrupt without secrets coming to the surface. Otherwise, another great one from Susan Mallery.

Warning to those that don’t know, this is a prequel to the series. I didn’t have a problem with that though. I found it engaging, well written and enthralling. I can’t wait to read this series!

This story is done in parts but a summary is that these three men joined the military for various reasons and suffered tragic losses, both military and personal. They formed a bond serving together and continued that bond after their tours were over. They realized they all had Dom tendencies and opened a fetish club in Denver. There are more characters to be introduced as the series goes on I think.

I don’t want to give anything away so that’s all I can say. Read this series and become addicted like me. My only thought is that I hope I can handle all the BDSM that’s surely coming my way. Oh, and I wish Marc’s story wasn’t first because I really want to read about Damian and Adam first. I guess I better warn the hubby about the money we will be missing when I buy them.

Thanks to Kate and my friend Mindy for suggesting this series and for warning about what’s to come.
