A few weeks ago I posted about Brenda Jackson’s Seduced by a Steele, which I really enjoyed! So, I jumped at the chance to read the next book in the series. This is the 13th book in series, which is wild, such a long running series and I can see why readers have found them so fun and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a series to devour and keep your brain occupied I think this is a fabulous option.

About the Book

CLAIMED BY A STEELE (on-sale May 5, 2020): New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson brings you a brand-new story in the Forged of Steele series. Perfect for fans of the popular Westmoreland series and readers of passionate contemporary romances!

This Steele man is always in the driver’s seat…but is this playboy ready for the wildest ride of his life?

Agreeing a PR stunt would be good for business, trucking CEO Gannon Steele invites reporter Delphine Ryland to hitch a ride cross-country. Soon, he’s keeping his eyes on his sexy passenger instead of on the destination ahead, and when the trip turns from strictly business to strictly pleasure, the consequences might be more than this rough-and-ready bachelor can handle…

My Thoughts

I’ve now read several billionaire trope romances and I think it’s not exactly my jam. Nothing against Ms. Jackson I have just realized that this trope just doesn’t do it for me! I have loved testing out these Harlequin Desire books since they’re short and can really give you a sense as to whether you’d enjoy a particular trope.

As far as the story itself, per usual with the Desire titles, I blew through this book! Although the length of these books leaves threads unfollowed or the conflict are quickly resolved, I cannot deny that this kind of quick consuming read is just what I need right now.

Overall, I really enjoyed the couple of hours I spent with this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
