LaKenna James is relocating to Houston for work but her new
condo is still under construction. But she has no worries
about being homeless, as her best friend, Reese Madaris has
offered to let her stay with him until her place is ready.
No, her worries are much more primal than where she lays her
head. Kenna is in love with Reese but he is completely
clueless as to her true feelings for him.
For his part, Reese is a confirmed bachelor. His cousins
have begun to fall like flies, but he wants no part of that
wedding train. Until he starts to see Kenna in a whole new
light, and it is he, not her, who must convince the other
that they are destined to be together.
Brenda Jackson is a prolific author, publishing numerous
books each year. If I had to pick my top Jackson book so
far in 2011, INSEPARABLE would be the one. Romance and
suspense, both served hot and heavy, fill the pages of this
story about LaKenna "Kenna" James and Reese Madaris. There
was never a question of "if" Kenna and Reese would be
together, only when and how these two would get together.
Reese Madaris is a man's man, but his best friend is gal pal
Kenna. Kenna is the prototypical female-in-love-with-her-
best-guy-friend-but-he-doesn't-know-it. Still, Jackson
manages to breathe fresh winds through this familiar romance
storyline. Begin with Kenna working for an oil industry
firm and enjoying ballroom dancing. When Reese and Kenna
finish the tango, they're not the only ones who need some
air! Then, Reese will go the ends of the earth for his best
friend, long before he realizes he's in love with Kenna.
Who doesn't want a best friend like that, especially if they
look and talk like Reese?
I love Jackson's work in all formats, but I think I
particularly enjoy her single titles. As in INSEPARABLE,
the additional story length gives her the opportunity to
skillfully weave in what is an expansive and still growing
backstory involving the Madaris clan. By the end of the
book, one may start to feel that there's a bit too much
explanation, but that's a minor sticking point in an
otherwise delicious romance.
Living under Reese Madaris's roof makes LaKenna James the
envy of every woman in town. But Reese's offer of a place to
stay is strictly platonic—just until Kenna's new condo is
completed. He has no idea that his best friend has been
attracted to him since college, and Kenna plans to keep it
that way.
Ever since his cousin Blade got married, Reese has
become Houston's most eligible bachelor—and a magnet for
gold diggers. Reese turns to his temporary roommate for
dating advice, and suddenly sees Kenna for the beautiful,
voluptuous woman she is. Though Kenna's afraid to give her
heart to the man who could so easily break it, when her life
is in jeopardy, she'll discover just how far a Madaris man
will go when love is at stake…
