This week I’m back with another Harlequin Desire novel, which I devoured in one sitting! If you’re looking for some escapist reading at the moment I don’t think you can go wrong with a Harlequin Desire novel.
About the Book
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!
A notorious heartbreaker is about to meet his match…Will a damsel in distress be his redemption?
When the “thief” caught driving his stolen vintage car turns out to be a stunning runaway heiress, Mercury Steele is conflicted. On the one hand, Sloan Donahue, penniless and on the run from her tyrannical family, triggers the billionaire playboy’s protective instincts. But she also triggers red-hot desire. Mercury refuses to think his simple seduction is becoming something deeper, especially when Sloan is keeping secrets…
My Thoughts
Per usual with Harlequin 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.
I found Sloan’s predicament, running away from an arranged marriage for wealth accumulation, a but far-fetched for the 21st century but I also kind of liked it because it was reminiscent of a lot of the historical romances that I enjoy.
I thought the couple was great and while I had some qualms about the “rich guy save the girl” trope, it is a billionaire romance so I should have know that going in. I guess my modern day, independent lady did’t enjoy all of the bit about being taken care of but I totally understand why it’s appealing.
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!
