Okay, let’s
be honest here, David Hawthorne, along with his brother Kyle, are the original
next-gen kids of the MT world. I mean, they were in the very first book and
the first family members any Taggart, Sean to be precise, had to win over.
Seeing them here, together, with their Taggart kin, was a thing of beauty and
gave me all the warm and fuzzies <3 |
David
Hawthorne made me cry, there, I admit it. In the world he and his family live
in, he feels he doesn’t fit in. He is intellectual in a world ex-military mercenaries.
Even in his tight, incredibly close family, he feels set apart, not unloved,
just not part of the crowd. He had felt this way most of his life, so it isn’t
new for him, but he still feels it sharply. Tessa is sure of her place at
work, much the same as David is at his work, but she feels separated by
class. She is working class, came from working class, and walked away from a billionaire
fiancé whose world she didn’t fit into. Tessa and David meet by accident and
hit it off. Then Tessa runs scared, and then fate put them together again.
Lot of doubt, figuring out oneself, and the other, and some great sexy times
follow before the suspense part of this romantic suspense kicks in. Then I
started to giggle and laugh, especially when the fun began when David’s
family, and Tessa’s boss, attempt to rescue them after the fact. I mean,
really with lines like these, how can you not chortle? "And she
would come out with a supple anus." "Ah,
misogyny, her old friend." “You probably
watched my pornographic movies. You look like the type.” By the end of
this book, I felt happy, satisfied, and comforted by how things all worked
out. My only issue is I could read more about these two for a few more hours! |
